Risk, Game 1 - the silent speaker wins

[the silent speaker]

Random.

[the silent speaker]

Iceland and Great Britain border Scandinavia too, don't they?

[the silent speaker]

Quick question -- what's the code for dice rolls? I've never used that.

[the silent speaker]

Okaaay.

3 armies on EAu.
Thither NGu, moving in max armies when successful; then NGu-WAu, also moving in max armies; then WAu-Ino, again moing in all available troops. The first four rolls in this campaign (first three dice of each are mine, last one the defenders):

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (2, 1, 3, 5) = 11

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (3, 4, 5, 3) = 15

4 6-Sided Dice: (5, 2, 1, 2) = 10

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (3, 6, 5, 6) = 20

[the silent speaker]

Oh good, I won all three on the first rolls (5 1 1 beating 4 for NGu, 4 1 5 beating 1 for WAu, and 4 3 6 beating 2 for Ino making the fourth roll superfluous).

Second wave. Per-Ven (maximum invasion) followed by Ven-Bra. The first three rolls:

[the silent speaker]

Hah. Should have gone for Bra-Arg. Well, I'll do that now; I should have six in Brazil.

Got it in one. Now Ino-Sia.

4 6-Sided Dice: (4, 3, 1, 5) = 13

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (5, 5, 1, 3) = 14

[the silent speaker]

I move max armies from Argentina to Brazil, which ends my turn. I think I've earned my risk card -- and if I'm not mistaken, STD's, too. I should have five armies now on Brazil, six on Siam, and one each on:
Ino
WAu
EAu
NGu
Arg
Ven
Per
Ind

Bigben, Coolbot, rajr and Windslicer:

I'm interested in a one-round truce with all and sundry. For all who accept, you don't attack me on your turn, and I won't attack you on my upcoming turn. If you accept, just say so before you start attacking things!

[the silent speaker]

tss, i dont mind attacking you.
but i dont think i have any control of that.

Um... are you saying that you do want an alliance, or that you do not, or that you'll make up your mind when it's your turn?

[the silent speaker]

Done and done. Any other takers?

[the silent speaker]

Ben needs to be stabbed until he starts paying attention.

[the silent speaker]

Replacement is best, though I wouldn't say no to rajrhcpfreak's split-up-his-territories plan.

[the silent speaker]

Yes, you can reroll.

[the silent speaker]

Hang on...

3: I lose two. Have 6 left.

I will move the maximum amount (7) from Ven to Bra.

Am I missing something?

[the silent speaker]

Yes.

[the silent speaker]

My truces seem to have me rather hemmed in.

Five armies (three for territory and two for Australia) all placed in India and end turn with no attacks.

[the silent speaker]

Two armies in India, three in Siam.

Sia-Chi (as before, first three dice mine, fourth die defending):

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (1, 5, 2, 5) = 13

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (2, 2, 6, 3) = 13

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (4, 6, 3, 4) = 17

[the silent speaker]

First roll takes it and max armies move in. I should have 8 on each of India and China, 1 on Siam, the rest unchanged. End turn.

Coolbot:

Are you interested in a two-round truce?

[the silent speaker]

tss, with no further buildup on India & the Mid East?

That would be fine.

[the silent speaker]

5 armies on China.

Chi-Afg: first 3 rolls mine, last 2 rolls winslicer's as applicable.

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (2, 2, 6, 4, 1) = 15

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (3, 3, 3, 6) = 15

[the silent speaker]

I lose the first two, win the third. Nine armies move into Ural.
Four armies move from Ural to China and my turn is over.

[the silent speaker]

It is in my best interest for WindSlicer to attack you through TSS instead of me.

No kidding. And it's in my best interest for him to attack CoolBot through you. The real question is, where is WindSlicer's best interest? And he'll have a harder fight if he goes for the land war in Asia than over the top of North America.

[the silent speaker]

You never get fewer than 3 armies for territory, Windslicer. Even if you have fewer than nine armies, you still get three plus whatever sets you turn in, continents, etc.

[the silent speaker]

*fewer than nine

territories

[the silent speaker]

mod:

about the map -- don't I have five armies on China? I moved in four, but one other was already there, no?

[the silent speaker]

I get 5 armies, all on Ural and Ura-Sib.

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (2, 4, 4, 3) = 13

Original Roll String: 4d6

[the silent speaker]

I lose the first, win the second. Four armies move in and my turn ends.
Changes: Ural 5
Siberia 4

[the silent speaker]

I have to say no, CoolBot. I was going to wait on the map and the you-McCoyn situation to decide my answer, but it looks doubtful an update will come soon enough for me to answer without holding up the game an extra two days.

[the silent speaker]

I'll need to see an updated map before making any decisions.

[the silent speaker]

The nonplayer will be silent.

Alberta Horse

That's two on WAu and 12 more for the set. Added to the five I have for territory and continent I have seventeen to deploy.

Five in Ural, five in India, five in China and two in Siberia. Starting attack, Ura-Ukr. First three dice mine, last two CoolBot's; if Coolbot gets reduced to one army delete the fifth die, and if I get reduced to three delete the third (and CoolBot stays with the fourth and fifth).

[the silent speaker]

Aii, double post. I think the fairest thing is to pretend the second post didn't exist.
First roll: split. I'm down to nine, Ukraine four.
Second roll: Ukraine loses two, down to two.
Third roll: Ukraine loses two. Eight armies move in from Ural. Final roll irrelevant.

New attack: Ind (13)-Mid (8.) Same dice rules, same rule in the event of a double post.

Well, here goes again. Mongolia (8.) at Japan (4). Rules for dice and double posts as above.

Original Roll String: 5d6

I get 15 armies for the set; I have, by my count, 15 territories and so get five armies for that; two more for Australia; all told 22 reinforcements. Furthermore Ukraine gets a bonus 2. I place 15 on Mongolia and 7 on Iceland.

McCoyn, I believe that entitles you to a home in exile on Tahiti. WindSlicer can attest to how well you'll be treated.

Can't you, WindSlicer?

Continuation of my turn will have to wait on a card update. I think I have to exchange another set before I continue.

[the silent speaker]

I would have moved in five, since I would have lost only one on the first dice roll abd the second would have taken it. Given that, I think I would have made one try for Egypt, intending to move three in and leave two, but if the first failed, stopping. The troop movement would have remained the same.

Western Europe Soldier
North Africa Soldier
Quebec Soldier

30 for the set, plus two armies on Quebec. (Ya just

had

to go through Western rather than Southern Europe, didn't you?) Furthermore, I have 21 territories and get 7 armies for that. All of these are to be placed on Western United States, which now has 39. Double posts and extra dice ignored as per pre-existing policy.

I'd like a map update before I go.

[the silent speaker]

Okay. I own, by my count, 34 armies, entitling me to 11 reinforcements. Furthermore I own four continents for 15 troops aggregate, totaling 26. By itself that should be enough to end the war without too much unnecessary loss of life, but just to make assurance double sure, I trade this set:
Wild
Eastern Australia Cannon
Madagascar Soldier
for two armies on Madagascar and 35 for the set. All told I am placing 61 armies: five on Ukraine (total 15) and 56 on Middle East (total 64).
