RISK Domination VIII: Finished!!

[Gustaf]

Ok, sorry I've fallen behind but I've been contemplating the right move for some time now. And it's been damn hard. Put everything in West Virginia and attack WV-DE-NJ-PA do or die. Then move all survivors to NY and end turn.

[Joe Republic]

Put everything in West Virginia and attack WV-DE-NJ-PA do or die.

[Gustaf]

Put everything in West Virginia and attack WV-DE-NJ-PA do or die.

Oh, gee, I'm being an idiot. I was distracted writing that. I meant in Maryland, of course. Put everything in Maryland and attack from Maryland to Delaware-NJ-PA

Put in Iowa, conquer Minnesota, if successful split in such a fashion as to leave 1 or 2 units more in MN than in IA, tactically move two from Kentucky to Missouri, mutter dark curses in a broadly westerly direction, and end turn.
If unsuccessful, refer back for further orders.

[The Mikado]

Fortune favors the bold, or so they say.  If this doesn't work, I'm likely out for good, but if it does work...

4 on Oregon, 1 on California.

Start off with Oregon-Nevada, pause if I lose seven units.  If successful move everything to Nevada and await further orders, if unsuccessful, wait for further orders.

[Хahar 🤔]

Oh, wow, a new game started while I wasn't looking?

Anyway, reading through the thread, it looks like Lewis could have taken out Bacon King in Round 3. It would have been a risky move, of course.
