RISK Domination VIII: Finished!!

[Joe Republic]

My internet access may be a little sporadic between now and the weekend.  Just a heads up.

[homelycooking]

Crunch time. Two to Virginia, one to Georgia.

Georgia - Florida do or die.

Virginia - Tennessee do or die. Split the batallions as evenly as possible between the two.

Await further orders.

Virginia - Tennessee do or die. Split the batallions as evenly as possible between the two.

Which state do you want to have the advantage in case there's an odd number?

[homelycooking]

Tennessee.

[Frodo]

So between homelycooking and Bacon King, which is more likely to conquer the former Confederacy?

Well, that could have gone better. Free move from Florida to Georgia, take card, end turn.

So between homelycooking and Bacon King, which is more likely to conquer the former Confederacy? 

I think you have your answer.

[Joe Republic]

New map:

GENERALS [1]  The Mikado [2]  homelycooking [3]  Teddy [4]  Bacon King [5]  Gustaf [6]  Lewis T.

Teddy: it is your turn.  You have 6 reinforcements.


+ [7 states ÷ 3 = 3 reinforcements]
+ [Southwest region = 3 reinforcements]

= 6 reinforcements

[Marokai Backbeat]

Ouch. Homelycooking just doesn't have great luck.

[homelycooking]

Ouch. Homelycooking just doesn't have great luck.

But I finally won Florida! Ka-ching, baby!

But I finally won Florida! Ka-ching, baby!

I was neon green in the last game and I did horribly, so let's just say neon green is cursed.

[The Mikado]

Last move, the plan I was thinking of doing was to put everything on FL and try to wipe out Homelycooking to grab his cards.  While I'm glad I did what I did, I see now that someone else has an easy shot at his four cards.

2 nevada
1 arizona
1 utah
1 colorado
1 new mexico

in addition:

[minionofmidas]

Sorry, Lewis.

Apology not accepted.

[Bacon King]

Tradin' in some cards:



That's 16 reinforcements, right?

2 in AR, 14 in LA.

LA-MS-AL-FL-GA-SC-NC-VA do or die.

Free move VA-TN so that they have an equal number of troops (if odd, extra goes in TN). End turn.

[minionofmidas]

It's probably no use pressing thumbs for homely here, is it? If there's anything left at the end of BK's rampage it falls to Gustaf, not me.

[homelycooking]

Let the onslaught begin...

Bacon King didn't lose a single man?

[Joe Republic]

Bacon King didn't lose a single man?

Kind of made up for his catastrophic effort during the Battle of the Delta last turn, doesn't it?

[homelycooking]

Well, that was disappointing. Whoever can avenge my annihilation by BK by denying him a second victory, I'm on your side.

[Marokai Backbeat]

BK definitely seems to have luck on his side at the moment.
