RISK Domination VI: Finished!

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Assuming Micky Doe still has Gustaf as his concern, his logical action is Idaho to Oregon.

However, he may wish to abandon Gustaf or logic.

Attacking Colorado and then Oklahoma would cause the maximum achievable chaos.

If he wishes to try and develop the Plains and leave Gustaf and Mariner to bother each other for a while, taking North Dakota should be his choice, possibly with a battalion used to reinforce Idaho.

Finally, if he plans on using a lack of cards as a selling point for not attacking him, attacking either Kansas or Missouri should achieve that goal, along with giving us all a good laugh if he succeeds.

2 on SD, on on Nebraska.  South Dakota-North Dakota, do or die.

New map:







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


+ [10 states ÷ 3 = 3 reinforcements]
+ [South region = 3 reinforcements]
= 6 reinforcements

[Verily]

Another situation where I'm stuck relying on other people to make certain moves. Oh well. The South Carolina independents really have it coming after last turn.

All in NC. Attack NC-SC again.

Is it just me, or does the "5" in Michigan on the map look a bit off-center? (Not to rag on you or anything, Joe.)

If it were more centered in the Lower Peninsula, it would be just a little too close to the shore of Saginaw Bay for my liking.  As it is, it kind of takes into account the westward skew caused by the UP.  Believe me, I had given it some thought already. 

[Verily]

Move all from South Carolina to Georgia and end turn. (Yes, it does make sense.)

[Joe Republic]

 
New map:







General Josh22, it is your turn.  You have 3 reinforcements.


+ [9 states ÷ 3 = 3 reinforcements]

Good to know.

[Josh/Devilman88]

I want to trade this cards in.




I believe that gives me 10 more plus the 3 which is 13, plus 2 more in MO, for having MO, right?

Anyways. All 13 in WI. Attack MI from WI do or die, if I lose more then 5 stop and wait for orders, if I don't then attack OH from MI, stop and and wait for orders. Also if its not to much trouble could I see the map after that?

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Move all from South Carolina to Georgia and end turn. (Yes, it does make sense.)

It makes lots of sense.  Unless you lose control of the Southeast because someone takes Mississippi, you'll be able to counterpunch from Georgia.


Josh isn't doing what I have would have done with all those armies, but then I wouldn't have ever tried to hold onto the Midwest in the first place.

[Verily]

There have been a lot of... unusual moves this game, such as Josh failing to take out TN in Maryland when he had the opportunity and TN not taking over the Mid-Atlantic last turn.

You'd either have tried to wipe me out or take Verily's regional bonuses, right?  Can't figure out which one.

No, I had in mind something more audacious than either of those limited goals, taking out both you and Gustaf.  If he'd placed everything in Missouri and headed west, he'd have had a pretty fair shot at accomplishing that.

[Gustaf]

Well, good thing he ain't you.
