[King Richard]

Ya, I've played some pretty epic Risk games before. I haven't played since high school though, which was 8+ years ago. However, from playing a bunch back then I remembered that conquering Europe and Africa right off the bat is the best way to just dominate the game (not to mention, I have an affinity for those two continents so that only further motivated me). When we were first placing armies around the map, I quickly covered Europe which gave me a continent right off the bat and a minimum of 5 extra armies per turn. And then I ended up conquering Africa shortly thereafter, giving me two continents. I played defense for a few turns just to fortify my shit, was attacked by both of the other guys because they were so spread out they had no other choice. I weakened them so much by playing defense that once I got my last turn, I added 23 new armies, and just raped them so bad I obviously had to steal grey pieces to complete the game. lol

Oh, and I forgot the best part. And for a little salt on the wound, when the game was obviously "decided," I made them keep rolling on defense because I wanted to complete the game and show them what utter domination looks like.

Well done sir.

 

[Dak]

Pure win.

How do you defend Europe, though? In all my games, people have done their utmost to keep anyone from holding an entire continent. Europe has a ton of frontiers, so how the hell do you defend it?

I always try to push the Western Hemisphere. Iceland, Kamchatka, and West Africa are all excellent choke points.

 

[Valerie]

Australia is very easily defendable since there's only one way to get to it. Good place to put your armies when starting out.

I only play Lord of the Rings risk.

"Rohan is weak."

"I come from Rohan. You not say Rohan weak."

"Yeah well we're playing a game here, pal."

"Rohan is game to you?!"

I own LOTR Risk, I like it, but only got people to play it twice.

Raped.

I think the hate for Justin Bieber is a little misguided. I'm not saying he's good or anything. I just think people should hate the industry not the puppet.

I don't hate him. He was just the obvious choice for the proverbial pecking chicken.
