RISK Domination XI: Finished!!

[HagridOfTheDeep]

I'm breathing on my own again, and the air is nice!

Not to, uh... dance on anyone's grave or anything.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Please, your tap shoes have been polished for a while

Looking forward to my next game

[President Tyrion]

Orders: Unsurprisingly, that's exactly what I want to do. Here's the caveat: if I'm forced to attack with less than two dice, then await orders. Otherwise, fulfill the complete attack.

HEY

[President Tyrion]

I mean, I guess it doesn't matter. I would have obviously attacked. I'd have no incentive not to.

[President Tyrion]

Well, this is one of those awkward situations. I mean, Joe didn't follow orders. But we know what the next dice roll would have been, right? What would you have done if he had stopped?

I mean, "fate" says you don't defeat Polnut.

I'm in a bad position to talk on this, but yeah.

Well, like I said, I'd be nuts not to attack there.

With that said, this is more of a "Joe's policy" decision than anything. I mean, if he lets me "await orders", I'm going to attack again, and I'll have a ~41% chance of winning.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Sorry, I deleted my post. Didn't realize you'd posted before me. It's hard for me to be neutral.

[Joe Republic]

Ugh, I HATE it when I keep making mistakes.  Sorry guys. 

Okay, at the point I should have stopped, Tyrion would have had 2 battalions in Kansas, and Polnut 1 in Missouri.  I'll let Tyrion decide what to do (based on this provisional map), BUT if you decide to go ahead and attack Missouri anyway, I will have to maintain the exact same die roll that played out in that attack, because it just wouldn't be fair that you'd get a freebie second shot just because the first try didn't succeed.

So I guess you have the choice of: (a) end your attacks, proceed to the optional tactical move and end turn; (b) attack Missouri and lose ...... or (c) attack somewhere else and have a fair, fresh die roll.

I realize that still isn't very fair given that one of these outcomes is already determined, but it was mistake and I can only apologize.

Frankly, it seems reasonable enough. I'll just tactical move from Kansas to Colorado, in that case.

[Joe Republic]

Cool, I'm glad that kinda worked out...

I've amended the map for the start of Hagrid's turn, and you're now free to begin. 

[HagridOfTheDeep]

All right. Please deploy...

3 on Vermont

Attack Vermont to New York.

Attack North Dakota to Minnesota to Iowa to Missouri. If my attack on Iowa weakens my Minnesota forces such that I actually have more armies in South Dakota (is that clear?), stop and await further orders. I'm just trying to give myself an out if it ends up being better for me to launch the attack from SD.

[Vosem]

So falls the last redoubt of Hagrid's Plains empire.

[Marokai Backbeat]

So falls the last redoubt of Hagrid's Plains empire.

I wonder if he'll survive until his next turn, at this rate.
