RISK Domination III: Finished!

[Gustaf]

It seems that TN right now has the best shot at winning. Once he makes his move on the Mideast he'll be hard to stop.

[minionofmidas]

A very precarious position.
This round could be the death of me...
(Apologies Lewis, btw.)

Reinforcements
All 6 in Tennessee please.

Battle Orders
All Tennessee to Kentucky

Holding 4 battalions in Kentucky, send the remainder to attack Ohio
follow on all available to Michigan and then to Wisconsin

Await further orders...

If you attack me, better make sure you wipe me out. If you attack me but don't wipe me out, I won't forgive you. If you wipe me out, then that's perfectly alright with me.

Highly possible.  Incidentally, would it kill you to write out the full word 'battalion' just once?

You have been warned !!!!!!1111!1II1!

[Gustaf]

Okedoke. Here the me v Ernest battle will be decided. All reinforcements in Texas and then attack do or die moving maximum number of batallions Texas-->Oklahoma-->Colorado-->Utah-->Nevada-->California. I could write up complicated orders for the following stuff but I'll refrain from that since it would be a headache for both me and Joe. Just await further orders.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Not unexpected, tho I was hoping you'd choose to use up at least one battalion taking Kansas, thereby reducing the force you had to use against me.

What happened to the demon defense dice when I needed them?

Ok, now attack Arizona from California as long as I have 3 attacking armies. If I take it, invade only with 3 and repeat action against Oregon. Then await further orders.
