Title: Risk Domination IX [Round 4: Jas]
Post by: Bacon King on August 20, 2011, 11:53:04 PM
Game rules:


There are only a few main differences between this version of RISK and the traditional version, which will be detailed below.


The map

N.B.: I've misplaced the image files I used for the previous games, but they were rather unwieldy anyway so I've decided not to replace them.  Instead I'll be using Dave's forum-based map generator.  This has forced a few changes, hopefully not too dramatically.

The biggest difference is clearly the map we'll be using.  Instead of 42 territories in the world, our map is based on the 48 contiguous states of the US.  This difference has forced a few more rules to change; e.g. the number of initial deployments, the number and layout of the regions, etc.

For clarification, no border exists between Utah and New Mexico and between Arizona and Colorado (the 'Four Corners'); there is no border between Massachusetts and Maine; and there is a border between Delaware and New Jersey.

Here is the map showing the layout and bonus value of the regions (which will be explained later):


()




Starting the game

The states will be distributed randomly, and the method by which the battalions are deployed will be explained in one of the next few posts.

To begin with, all players will be given 25 battalions each to deploy among their states at the start of the game.  All battalions must be deployed, and each state must contain at least 1 battalion (at all times throughout the game).



Taking a turn

As in the traditional game, each player's turn is divided up into three stages, which must be performed in order:

1. Reinforcements

Each player will receive a number of battalions equal to their number of states divided by three, rounded to the closest whole number.  A minimum of three battalions is granted even if that formula would equal less than three.  So, for example, if a player controls 11 states, they'll get 4 reinforcements (11/3 = 3.7).

For easy reference:

10 states or fewer = 3 reinforcements
11-13 states = 4 reinforcements
14-16 states = 5 reinforcements
17-19 states = 6 reinforcements
20-22 states = 7 reinforcements
And so on.

Players will also receive a bonus number of reinforcements if they control any of the regions as shown in the map above at this point of their turn.  The number of reinforcements they'll receive depends on which region(s) they control, and those numbers are given in the table in the map itself.

Players may also trade in any sets of cards at this point too.  Cards will be explained in more depth later.  This is the only stage of your turn in which you may trade in cards.


2. Attack

Since this is a message board based game, I've had to employ a slightly different method to ensure that attack phases are performed efficiently and as quickly as possible.

All you need to do in this stage is post how many battalions you're sending to attack a neighboring state, how many of them you're willing to risk losing before calling a retreat, and how many battalions you want to leave in that state if you conquer it.

On that last part, you'll need to leave a minimum of three battalions there; if you attacked with less than three battalions, then you'll just have to keep however many battalions you used there.  Unless you specify how many battalions you're putting in your conquered state, I'll assume you want the maximum there.  If you say that your attack order is to "do or die", then there will be no retreat and the maximum number of battalions will be left in the conquered state.

You may attack as many states as you want during this stage, or none at all if you wish.  But always remember to leave at least 1 battalion in each of your states at all times.

If you conquer at least one state during this stage, you'll receive one card.  You will not receive any more than one card per turn, unless you destroy an opponent; in which case you receive any cards they were holding as well.

The dice rolls are performed using an online random number generator, found here (http://www.random.org/dice/?num=5).  You'll just have to trust me that I'll do it fairly. :)


3. Tactical Move

Once you've finished your attack phase, you may perform a tactical move if you wish.  You can move as many battalions as you want from one of your states to one neighboring state (remembering to leave one battalion behind, of course).  You may only perform one tactical move each turn.



Cards

Cards work on exactly the same principle as in the traditional version.  In this version, each card represents one of the 48 states, and a RISK figurine (either an infantryman, cavalry, or cannon).  In addition to the 48 state cards, there are two wildcards.

Once you've collected a 'set' of three cards, you may trade them in at your next turn for more reinforcements.  A set of cards can be: three infantrymen (worth four extra battalions); three cavalry (worth six extra battalions); three cannons (worth eight extra battalions); or one of each (worth ten extra battalions).

On trading in your cards, you'll receive an additional 2 battalions for each card that represents a state that you control.  Those battalions will only be placed in that particular state.

The wildcards do not represent any state, and are simply a stand-in figurine in order to make any set of three cards.

Cards are dealt randomly, and the state represented on each one will not have any deliberate connection with states you conquered during that turn.

Your cards will be sent to you by PM, and it is your responsibility to keep them secret.  I'll be keeping a record of who has what card, for organization's sake.



Clarifications of rules

I've tried to make sure everything is clear here.  However, if you want me to clarify any of the above rules, I'll be happy to do so. :)

Okay, final list of players is as follows: Gustaf, Joe, Vosem, Marokai, Jas, and Junkie.

I've PM'd everybody asking for their color preferences.


A little late, unfortunately, but if you'd like you can be an alternate in case someone has to drop out of the game.

The next step is for you all to decide how you want your initial 25 battalions to be deployed.  As you can see, I've already taken the liberty of placing 1 in each state for you, which leaves you with 17 to deploy wherever you please.

The order of turns has been decided randomly, and is shown on the map.


Instructions

Please send me a PM with your deployment orders for your first 4 battalions.  I'll then post an updated map, and we'll repeat.

Do not post your deployments here.

I'm not 100%, but I think that between my control of Texas and Montana, I am in the lead in terms of actual land under my control.

That being said, Marokai has by far the best initial deployment. He should be able to take the Pacific and defend it without too much trouble.

Good.  Okay, now attack CT to NY for as long as I can do so with 3 dice.  If I take it, move everybody there and then tactical move everybody in VT to NY and end turn.

If forced to retreat, attack VT to NY as long as I have 3 dice.  If I take it, move whoever's left in CT to NY and end turn.

If that fails, await further orders.

Thanks. :)

Just so everyone knows, this is a lot more time consuming than it looks. Even using Joe's existing templates there's still a million different things to fill in and keep track of. I had to preview and fix things three different times just now because I kept noticing different mistakes I'd made :P Massive props to Joe for putting up with it for so long!

Okay, I've glanced through some of the previous games and I think I have a basic understanding of the rules now, so...

I understand the game may be somewhat confusing for a first-time player such as yourself, but please make sure that you are familiar with the rules I've quoted in the first post of this thread.

Eeeh, you kind of get into a routine after a while, and I still found it more enjoyable than a chore.  Otherwise I wouldn't have run so many games for so long.

Anyway, you don't have to completely mimic the template if you don't want to.  Do it whichever way you find easiest. :)

I actually did make a note of it, but I suppose I got the two mixed up when I went to do the rolls and such. If it would have made a difference (i.e., if you didn't say to end turn or if the attack didn't fail) I definitely would have double-checked more thoroughly and noticed it before posting.

Sorry, I just assumed "do or die" meant all troops would end up in the conquered state. I could've sworn that was how it worked.

Either way! Tactical move all available troops (however many that number is at this point :P) from Washington back to Idaho and end my turn.

Sorry, I just assumed "do or die" meant all troops would end up in the conquered state. I could've sworn that was how it worked.

Either way! Tactical move all available troops (however many that number is at this point :P) from Washington back to Idaho and end my turn.

I've always understood "do or die" to mean, "attack until I take it or can't attack any more". Granted, usually that's when a player also moves all possible battalions, but given that you didn't specify I figured it'd be better to err on the side of caution.

All in South Carolina. Attack SC-GA-FL-AL-MS, do or die. Should the situation arise that I have 7+ troops in MS, move a number to Tennessee that would equalize things between them. If the sum is odd, put the extra one in TN.

Game rules:

If you say that your attack order is to "do or die", then there will be no retreat and the maximum number of battalions will be left in the conquered state.

Once Nevada is under my control, tactical move two battalions from Arizona to Nevada, take my card, and end turn.

Okay, sorry for the delay, but it looks like I lost the paper I wrote everyone's RISK cards down on when I moved last week; I've been trying to find it but it hasn't turned up anywhere. I'm posting this from a school computer, but after class today I'll go through all my sent messages and put everything back together in a spreadsheet so it can be stored electronically. Junkie and Marokai, I'll send you new cards once I do that :) In the mean time, though, I do have time to set things up for Gustaf's next turn...

I apologize for shirking my responsibilities here, everyone.

To be completely open and honest with you guys, I've just been so overwhelmed with work and school lately (and, in addition, struggling to be there for a close friend who is going through a very difficult time right now, but I'd prefer to not go into the details here) that by the time I'm free to access the forum I feel too burned out to even do the bit of work required to re-do the cards (which obviously needs to be taken care of before doing any more turns, of course). Hell, I really need a vacation, or something.

I'm sorry for the delay; I assure you I'll take care of it soon so we can resume. Consider the game to be on a short hiatus in the interim. I hope you guys understand, and again, I do sincerely apologize for this issue.
