RISK Domination XI: Finished!!

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Fortify by moving the maximum from Vermont to New York. End turn.

[Joe Republic]

GENERALS [1]  HagridOfTheDeep [2]  Matt from VT [3]  Snowstalker [4]  Polnut [5]  Tyrion (6th)  Jas

Matt from VT: it is your turn.  You have 5 reinforcements.


+ [8 states ÷ 3 = 3 reinforcements]
+ [Pacific region = 2 reinforcements]

= 5 reinforcements

[Gustaf]

Assuming Matt removes Polnut's bonus, this should come down to Matt and Hagrid now.

[President Tyrion]

Assuming Matt removes Polnut's bonus, this should come down to Matt and Hagrid now.

Is that a fair assumption? I feel like that's a pretty inconvenient attack for Matt.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Assuming Matt removes Polnut's bonus, this should come down to Matt and Hagrid now.

Is that a fair assumption? I feel like that's a pretty inconvenient attack for Matt.

It's not at all inconvenient.  It makes sense for him to hold off on attacking from Idaho until he can reinforce from Oregon, plus attacking Hagrid exposes Matt to a counterattack from North Dakota.  So I expect him to attack Polnut this upcoming turn, and a Arizona->New Mexico attack would gain him a card and avoid a counterattack from Kansas. From there New Mexico-> Texas would deprive Polnut of the South bonus.  However such a tactic would deprive Matt of any chance of gaining the Southwest bonus.  Unless he turns in cards, I see no realistic chance that Matt could take and hold Colorado and New Mexico if he also attacks Texas or Oklahoma.

[Sopranos Republican]

5 on Arizona, attack from Arizona to New Mexico to Texas.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

He'd be stupid not to at this point.

[President Tyrion]

Hmmmm, let's see if some sets pop up out of the woodwork.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

I'd like to turn in a set, which gives me (I believe) 1 on Wisconsin and 10 on Pennsylvania. Put the 4 on Virginia. Attack Pennsylvania-New Jersey-New York, do or die. Await further instructions.

 

[Joe Republic]

The Wisconsin card gets you two extra battalions there, not one.    Same for Maryland as well.  I'll carry out the orders in a little while.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Okay, okay. Along with the two each on Maryland and Wisconsin, put four in Virginia and ten in Pennsylvania. Again attack PA-NJ-NY, do or die.
