RISK Capital II: Finished!

[minionofmidas]

Why don't you just put everything in Nevada, conquer the Southwest take Texas and then knock out Missouri? You disable Mas and Colin, making it impossible for them to win, and also get hold of a capital and a region. But, hey...it's your chose.

More to the point, why not put those eight into California instead of Nevada, and simply conquer Michigan, New Jersey, and Texas this round?

I would never be able to hold them all.

You would not need to. -_-

Sure I would... I would have to hold them against Colin, at least.  All he would have to do is sweep through Wisconsin, and then Michigan, etc.

How many capitals, exactly, do you need to immediately win the game, again?

How many capitals, exactly, do you need to immediately win the game, again?

You need to take three enemy capitals and hold them til the end of the turn, no?

That's correct, so I'm not entirely sure how any kind of retaliation from any other player would be of any importance.  The minute a player has taken their third capital (and they still hold their own), they've won.

Put 9 bats in Minnesota...

All out attack from Minnesota---> Wisconsin

Barring any terrible dice rolls for Super, I'd like to congratulate him on his win of Risk Capital II.

The end of your turn, not the end of the round.

Ummm... so basically I was wrong then, not right, since what I said was you had to hold onto them until the end fo that turn.  Okay... next time around, I think we shoudl set it up so that you have to hold them for a full turn, let alone until the end of the round

I thought it was a full round not until the end of your turn since that would make some sense, you know take the capitals and hold them. This is just too easy. If I had known that I would have gone for the win last turn.

Congrats Soulty on your win. I knew you'd win it all along that's why it was imperative that we gang up on you since you are the luckiest man alive. You always seem to win everything.

You know, it says in the opening post.
The last game also was over as soon as Everett had her capitals, and it was even easier back then because Canada was still in the game.

I thought that meant that you had to keep them for a full round. I read turn as a complete cycle of the game. I think that would add some dimension to the game.

Well, you're right on that last part.

[MAS117]

I don't understand what all the fuss is here. It's always been if you capture three capitals and you still have your own you win the game. Theres never been a time requirement. It's when you finish your turn or capture three.

[Joe Republic]

I sort of suspected that a few of you had misunderstood/not read the rules, which is why I was so surprised that the game is still in play.  I really am starting to feel exasperated by all the complaining.

New Mexico---> Texas

Michigan---> Ohio

Sorry about the complaining Joe... you are doing a fine job... I guess I just need to acctually read the rules for once in my life.

[Gustaf]

Lol at all the confusion. It would take forever if someone had to hold four capitals till the end of his next turn. It would basically just be domination in that case, since no one would be able to do it without completely destroying everyone else.

Congrats on the win Super!

[minionofmidas]

Yeah, him not winning now would take a major miracle.

See? See? I always said you were in the best position from the start!

[Colin]

Sorry about complaining Joe you always do a wonderful job in hosting this Risk games.

Congrats on the win Soulty for real this time.
