RISK Domination VIII: Finished!!

[Vosem]

Funnily enough, Lewis has held Iowa the entire game, and, although I'm too lazy to check, I don't believe it was ever even attacked prior to this.

Goes to show what a bad decision making Des Moines the capital of your dictatorship is

[Joe Republic]

So, I guess IL-IA do or die and if that fails then WI-IA do or die. 

Attacks


Illinois invades Iowa (Lewis Trondheim) with 5 battalions available to attack, while 1 battalion will defend.

Gustaf [5] rolls 3 dice:	[4] [3] [2]
Lewis Trondheim [1] rolls 1 die:	[5]
Gustaf loses 1 battalion

Gustaf [4] rolls 3 dice:	[4] [2] [1]
Lewis Trondheim [1] rolls 1 die:	[4]
Gustaf loses 1 battalion

Gustaf [3] rolls 3 dice:	[6] [6] [1]
Lewis Trondheim [1] rolls 1 die:	[4]
Lewis Trondheim loses 1 battalion

Gustaf conquers Iowa and places 3 battalions there, leaving 1 behind in Illinois.

----------

* Gustaf has taken control of the Midwest region *

----------

* Lewis Trondheim has been destroyed *

Gustaf is victorious!

[Marokai]

Congratulations Gustaf!

Gotta say, there was a point in the game where I thought you were causing yourself to lose by not being more aggressive, but everyone else self-destructed pretty well. Sorry for doubting you.

[Bacon King]

Good game Gustaf.

[Vosem]

Can I reserve a spot in the next game? I meant to sign up for this one, and before that for game VII, but both times the game had started without me.

[Gustaf]

Thanks for the congrats everyone! It was a good game.

I must have beaten Fezzy in the overall standing with this victory, right?

[Gustaf]

Since no one bothered to check I had to be a narcissist and do it myself:

Game I - I can't find this one but I think Jas won it over Fezzy?
Game II - Gustaf
Game III - Gustaf
Game IV - Fezzy
Game V - Fezzy
Game VI - Gustaf
Game VII - Bacon King
Game VIII - Gustaf

It should be noted that me and Fezzy has a bit of a Federer v Nadal thing going, in that I think we only met once and he won that one (although that was Lewis' fault...)

Game I - I can't find this one but I think Jas won it over Fezzy?

Yep - fezzy would get his revenge in the game BK won.

Think I came second a couple of times as well - Game II and III anyway. (Game II's undoing I still remember quite clearly.)

Yes, I also recall you being close a couple of times. And I think I especially remember that weird time that MaC (was it?) did you in by crazy moves which gave me victory.

I don't remember that.

Well, you destroyed me on the first turn.

I WOULD LIKE TO RESERVE A SPOT IN THE NEXT GAME. CAN I DO THAT

Sure, though as per usual there's going be to a break before the next game for me to recharge my batteries.

Although... BK, does that offer to host the next game still stand?

Indeed.

[Joe Republic]

Sweet!  Do you need me to send you any info?  Though I guess you could just copy the way I did it.  Or better yet, just do it any way you want. 

[Bacon King]

I think for simplicity's sake I'll keep everything the same; I just have a few questions.

Are all the card's urls are like this?

Code:

How about the wildcards?

And also, is there a way to add the yellow and orange colors in the electoral college calculator itself or do I need to manually chane the colors in the image link? I've figured out yellow is 4 and orange is 5.

But yeah, lemme post a new signup thread.

I did not. Josh destroyed you on the second turn.

And there is one post in that thread that I actually remember even though I forgot all about this game.

Six reinforcements, right?

NO NO NO

3 + 3 = 5

YOU STUPID RETHUGLICAN



*ahem*  Yes, you would be correct.  Apologies.

Classic.

Yep, all the state cards are the same principle.  The wildcards are simply:

No, you have to manually change the image links.  I never used the calculator, other than to generate the initial code.  The map is 1956 (no AK and HI).

Thanks, btw.
