RISK Domination X: Finished!!

[Gustaf]

I think Hagrid's decision now decides the game.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

But no pressure.

I'm in class now. I'll take a closer look at things later in the afternoon.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Please deploy as follows:

2 on Kansas
6 on Arkansas

Attack Kansas to Oklahoma, do or die. Once won, please move the maximum number of troops into Oklahoma. Next, attack Arkansas to Texas. Once won, keep two armies in Arkansas and put the rest in Texas (keeping two armies in Arkansas might affect dice rolls, but hopefully my forces won’t deplete enough for it to be a situation we have to deal with ).

Fortify by moving the maximum number from Mississippi to Arkansas.

We’ll see how it goes. I guess there are other options, but I don’t really see how it benefits me to go on a wild goose chase and leave my holdings undefended…

Excellent!

Now let the troops in Mississippi invade Alabama, do or die.

Then end turn and tactically move 3 from Kentucky to Missouri.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Well, congratulations, Vosem.

[Mopsus]

Am I the only one who thinks that tmth is in a really good position, provided that he plays his cards right?

[tmthforu94]

Am I the only one who thinks that tmth is in a really good position, provided that he plays his cards right?

Wait, what? lol

I may not be in as bad of shape as BK or MB, but I don't see myself in a better position than Hagrid (still) or Vosem.

I may not be in as bad of shape as BK or MB, but I don't see myself in a better position than Hagrid (still) or Vosem.

Maybe it's too early to editorialize, but I do think the game is Vosem's to lose now. I took a gamble going for the South for a few reasons. First, I didn't want to go on a big rampage elsewhere and spread my armies thin. Second, I really thought Franzl would want to go for a bonus of his own either in the northwest or with his recently-lost states, rather than attack me. I think now the two of us will be preoccupied by a mutually-destructive back-and-forth that will allow Vosem to sweep in through the rest of the rust belt. We'll see. Maybe I shouldn't post this stuff in public, but obviously I am a bit miffed at the situation.

[Marokai Backbeat]

I (stunned at how I'm even still alive aside) also pretty much think this is Vosem's at this point. It's like everyone decided "well, I can't win, so f**k this other guy at least" and only Vosem was left standing. I'm still unsure of what I'm going to do with what will likely be my last turn, but this has been a weirdly petty game of RISK, in a way.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Sorry, Tmth. (Really.) All in on California. Attack from there to Arizona, do or die, all in, etc. Wait for more orders after we see how that turns out.

You've really had impressively awful luck.
