RISK Domination III: Finished!

[Gustaf]

I'd like to trade in the following cards. Of the units I can place freely, I want 2 in Colorado and the rest in New Mexico. Then attack New Mexico-->Texas as long as I have at least 10 armies in New Mexico and then await further orders (NOTE: I have ´NOT yet decided how many armies to put into Texas if I take it!)

Now attack Oklahoma and divide the troops evenly between the Oklahoma and Arkansas. Then tactical move from California to Arizona and await further orders.

Now attack Oklahoma and divide the troops evenly between the Oklahoma and Arkansas. Then tactical move from California to Arizona and await further orders.

Good thing you added that tactical move, otherwise your orders wouldn't be clear. (Since you might attack OK from NM, AR, or CO, and the equal distribution might be the tactical move.)

[Joe Republic]

Now attack Oklahoma and divide the troops evenly between the Oklahoma and Arkansas. Then tactical move from California to Arizona and await further orders.

To clarify, once the tactical move is done, that'll be the end of your turn.

Also, if there is an odd number of battalions between AR and OK, where do you want the extra one to go?

I assumed you did, until I read "and await further orders" after your tactical move instruction.  By all means, I'll await further orders, but they'll be from TN2024.

Yeah, that's what I meant, you moron.









Ehm...I guess I just got used to writing "and await further orders" at the end of every instruction. I was in a terrible hurry as I wrote it, basically. SOrry if I came out as a jerk/idiot. That being said, would it be ok to change the tactical move order, since TN2024 hasn't done anything yet? I had forgotten I had 2 batallions in Oregon and had in mind to move them to Idaho as my tactical move...pleeeeeaase?

[Joe Republic]

I don't particularly see why not. 

[Gustaf]

I don't particularly see why not. 

Thanks a lot!

I'll try and institute a "think before I post" policy for the remainder of the game.

Ah, how wonderfully insightful and forceful of you.
Truly you deserve the title of General for your unsurpassed ability to read the game and apply suitable strategy and tactics.

Perhaps Joe, we can do a strategic "pre-screening" of sorts, this is a little silly, obvious players hacking away at each other only to see someone make random moves to nowhere....

I suppose that's part of the game though.
