RISK Domination VIII: Finished!!

[Joe Republic]

Looks like my Alabama lieutenant is going to be out of a job.

Attack Mississippi from Arkansas. If victorious, place as many batallions as possible in Arkansas (use three dice for the attack). Continue attacking if need be unless Arkansas drops to two batallions. If this happens, stop and wait for further instructions. If not, free move one batallion from Tennessee to Georgia, draw card and end turn.

Await further instructions if I fall below three attacking units.

I wasn't sure exactly how to interpret this, i.e. if you wanted to continue your attack run after the Minnesota invasion, or perform a tactical move etc., so I played it safe and will let you finish the turn.

[Joe Republic]

Yes, I meant for you to await further instructions either way, but interrupt the attack at such a point. Thanks!

'Kay. Make a further do-or-die attempt at subduing those pesky mittenheads, from Wisconsin this time. Irrespective of outcome, tacticalmove everybody available from PA to OH and end turn.

Two in AR, four in LA.

Attack LA to MS, do or die, but stop if I'm not rolling more dice than the defenders.

Attack AR to TN; stop if I'm attacking with less than three. Assuming the attack succeeds, leave enough in AR so the two states are even as possible, with an extra if it's odd going in TN.

If the above attacks both succeed, Attack MS-AL do or die.
