RISK Mission I: Finished!

[Joe Republic]

New map:







General Yates, it is your turn.  You have 6 reinforcements.


+ [9 states ÷ 3 = 3 reinforcements]
+ [New England = 3 reinforcements]
= 6 reinforcements

[Yates]

Thank you, Joe.

I would like three forces transported each to Texas, and Louisiana, please.  From Texas, I would like to attack Oklahoma for as long as I have 3-to-1 odds.  From Louisiana, I would like to attack Arkansas for as long as I have 3-to-1 odds.  When that is completed, I would like to leave two forces each in Texas and Louisiana, the rest in my (hopefully) newly acquired territories.

Thank you.

[Gabu]

Wow, that's brutal.

[Joe Republic]

Wow, that's brutal.

In my experience, every game of Risk always has at least one person expend a sizeable force and yet still fail to conquer a territory with only 1 battalion in it.  Unfortunately for Blerpiez, he was that guy in this game.

[Gabu]

Wow, that's brutal.

I remember this one time - I think it was last game - where a guy invaded Alabama with like 9 guys and failed to conquer it.  And then it happened again.

[Joe Republic]

Yeah, I remember that.  I think Harry was the one defending AL the first time, but I can't remember who the unlucky attacker was.  I couldn't believe it.

[Blerpiez]

That unlucky attacker, FYI, was yours truly. 

However, Harry did lose that game to me ultimately, though he came back with another user account to take revenge on me when I tried to win the next game. 

[MaC]

Three troops in Pennsylvania, then attack New York from Pennsylvania do or die.  If conquered, move all but one troop(s)  from Pennsylvania to New York.

Then, attack Washington from Idaho and if sucessful, move all troops from Idaho to Washington.
