RISK Domination XI: Finished!!

[Joe Republic]

Sorry Matt, you can only make one tactical move.

[Sopranos Republican]

Alright,  just send 4 from Nevada to Arizona then. Then end turn.

[Joe Republic]

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

Jas: it is your turn.  You have 3 reinforcements.


+ [8 states ÷ 3 = 3 reinforcements]
+ [No regions controlled]

= 3 reinforcements

[Јas]

3 reinforcements to Oklahoma

Attack Oklahoma to Arkansas
Cease fire if:
i. Oklahoma's force level falls to level, or below, that of Arkansas
or ii. Oklahoma's force numbers fall to 8 or fewer personnel

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Looks like Hagrid decided that an early do or die battle with Matt was too RISKy for his taste.  However, he's definitely handed Matt a massive advantage, if Matt plays it smart, and that's regardless of whether Matt decides to work with Hagrid for now or not.  I know how I'd play it if I were Matt, but I'll mention it only once Matt has finished his turn.

Here's what I would have done if I were Matt. It's similar to what he did:

1 reinforcement to Washington, 2 to Arizona.
Attack Washington to Oregon, do or die, leaving 4 in Washington if possible.
Attack California to Nevada, do or die.

Transfer 2 battalions from Nevada to Utah.

Only real difference would have been that my final map would have had a more even defense as I would have planned for having only one tactical move at the end of the turn:

Thanks Joe

Persistently attack Tennessee with 3 battalions from Arkansas.

Cease fire as and when Arkansas's force drops to 9 or fewer personnel.

Are you KIDDING me?!

I mean, I know I placed my reinforcements pretty poorly, but that was not cool of the One True God of Dice.

Clarification: I said to attack Virginia, then West Virginia, then move back to Kentucky. You skipped Virginia it seems.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Attack: NH then VT from ME until I have two battalions remaining

[Joe Republic]

Clarification: I said to attack Virginia, then West Virginia, then move back to Kentucky. You skipped Virginia it seems.

Damn, sorry.  I've amended the original attack from KY-WV to KY-VA (but kept the dice rolls the same as it wouldn't have made a difference), and then added the VA-WV attack.

Polnut, I'll do your orders when I get home from work.  Until then you can adjust your orders based on the above correction if you like.
