Ukraine's at the eastern edge of Europe which you can control instead of controlling the two adjacent western-most Asian territories, thus only needing to put armies in 1 territory, not 2 (that's if you are trying to keep Asia).<BR/><BR/>Something weird on this map (40th Anniversary edition)... Africa has only TWO entry points needing fortification. The map I grew up on had three entry points, which always made Africa a tougher continent to hold. Two makes it just right. When did that change?<BR/><BR/>When I was in high school, I wrote a TurboPascal program (remember Borland?) incorporating my logic to playing Risk, so that one could play a decent and not-too-predictable game against the computer. I never finished the graphics for the program, but it was a solid effort. Those were the good-old geek days. Now, blogs and podcasts and html are so mainstream.<BR/><BR/>I would never have Risk on an inpt unit... that's a set-up for conflict.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735111026336537653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-20595237779774791862008-11-10T13:18:00.000-05:002008-11-10T13:18:00.000-05:00Risk... that's totally a blast from the past.

My strategy was always to lose as quickly as possible, without calling anyone's attention to my plan. <BR/><BR/>Dad is neither a gracious winner nor loser, but was generally easier to get along with after a win. Therefore, my strategy was a good one; little soldiers and conquered continents be damned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-52178580994669315822008-11-10T05:59:00.000-05:002008-11-10T05:59:00.000-05:00This brings back fond memories of my one and only ...This brings back fond memories of my one and only trip to the US a while back. I played (and beat) a bunch of Americans on a weekend in West Virginia. I let them have the Western and Eastern US though - when you're conquering the world you don't need everything ;-) My OCD traits would come out big time here!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-68214889717756561422008-11-09T22:22:00.000-05:002008-11-09T22:22:00.000-05:00When I was hospitalized a number of years ago ther...When I was hospitalized a number of years ago there were a bunch of patients with acute psychosis playing risk... which ended up being quite violent.Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897760883997811787noreply@blogger.com
