RISK Domination XI: Finished!!

[HagridOfTheDeep]

 

 

All right. In addition to the three base reinforcements, this gives me 14, for a total of 17. I believe I get another two on Missouri as well.

Please deploy as follows:

3 on Iowa
14 (+2) on Missouri

Iowa to Illinois to Kentucky to West Virginia, all in. If the attack on Illinois somehow gets me down to less than four armies, await further orders.

I’ll have more to do after I get to WV, but please stop here so I can get the lay of the land.

Thanks Joe, and sorry for the delay.

Hmmmm... that's an odd attack, I mean... sure, you've taken away a regional bonus, but left yourself vulnerable as SS can place new armies as easily take your gains away.

[Vosem]

...interested to see where you're going with this, Hagrid.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Hmmmm... that's an odd attack, I mean... sure, you've taken away a regional bonus, but left yourself vulnerable as SS can place new armies as easily take your gains away.

It looks like Hagrid's come to the conclusion that he can't afford to concentrate on either SS or Matt and has picked the third of the four options I laid out. The only thing I would disagree with is that unless he was forced to play two sets, I'd have only played one set: Missouri, Delaware, and South Dakota.  He would have had a reasonable chance of getting and holding onto one or both of Louisiana and Texas and getting 2, 4, or even more additional armies if he could turn in a mixed set.  He'd have been taking a slight RISK of getting knocked out before he could use those armies, or of not having enough to keep Matt and SS from getting much in the way of bonus, but deferring 4 armies now in the reasonable expectation of more later would have been worth it.

I know I'm not done my turn yet, but yes, that was one of my dilemmas. I went with the sure thing, and maybe I'll regret it, but ultimately I decided not to hold onto a mitt-full of cards and take my chances as is.

Anyway, my next orders are coming soon, but I have to figure out what direction to do my little loop-around in.

Refortify by moving the maximum number from CO to OK. End turn.

Phew.

[Gustaf]

This game is becoming pretty fascinating. Hagrid ought to be safe for a round now, because trying to wipe him out and failing means handing his cards to the other player, which in turn spells doom. His geographical position still sucks though.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

I'm honestly just looking forward to the gif at the end. I can't believe how much I've moved around the map.

[President Tyrion]

Thanks Joe for a fun game! This was truly very fun, and excellently run!

And thanks Hagrid for wiping me out
