Re: Risk: A tournament based on the board game
Well, at least going first gave you the chance to break one of those bonuses, and you have a strong position in the east, so you could turn this around pretty quick.

Re: Risk: A tournament based on the board game
Strong position elsewhere only helps if I don't have to devote all my troops to breaking bonuses (which I already failed to do in Round 2).
He actually had some great drops in most of the games. I got first turn, but with ineffective dice they are already over. Where's the "forfeit" button when you need it?

Re: Risk: A tournament based on the board game
Do you need to break your opponent's bonuses if you can claim and hold some of your own?

Absolutely. What's the point of grabbing a bonus if your opponent is dropping 11 troops the next round?

Re: Risk: A tournament based on the board game
Well, in this case, I might have tried to take Philadelphia and Buffalo and then reinforced Cleveland, said the sergeant to the major, but then again, with chained reinforcements, that would be limited. There's no question that was an awful drop. I hope your luck balances out.

Both groups have 1 game finishing up in their current sets before we can move on


Re: Risk: A tournament based on the board game
Hey, remember you still have to fix the map (I own East Africa) and I just took Madagascar.
Thanks, Joe B.
