RISK Domination VI: Finished!

[The Man From G.O.P.]

Well, holding two regions and those extra risk cards certainly makes TN's position pretty good.

Indeed. Perhaps we are looming before the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny between Gustaf and Mr. Rogers TN?

I would agree but I've got to plow through Verily (if he doesn't cripple me outright) as well as Josh.

Who knows though.

[Verily]

Just popping in to make my moves. I'll have them up in a moment.

[Verily]

I'll turn in this set:





That's 8 plus 2 in Florida and the 3. Put three in Oklahoma and eight in South Carolina. Attack SC-NC-VA and OK-AR. Move all from Florida to Georgia and end turn.

+ [Southwest region = 3 reinforcements]
= 8 reinforcements

[Хahar 🤔]

Josh's position isn't esactly very good, what with armies closing in on all sides. He'll likely be squished.

[The Mikado]

I love it that Kansas is the most heavily fortified state.

[Joe Republic]

I'm really, really not a fan of changing the rules in the middle of a game, but I am toying with the idea of capping Kansas' battalions at 10 (a precedent for future games).  Does anybody (particularly the remaining players) think this might be a reasonable idea?

Well, Kansas provides an amusing roadblock in the middle of the country, and it'd be fun if it was one person vs. Kansas.

Actually, if you're going to change the rules, making it so that Kansas could attack would be interesting, but should be left to a future game.  Here's a simple rule for it:
If a neutral country has 6 or more battalions at the start of a round, it makes random 3 battalion attacks until it either wins or has fewer than 6 battalions.  Randomly attacking neutrals can be fun.
