@crsluggo Thanks for picture.
It is a pity these units are not more ‘same scale’. Still these vehicles seem to be OK when compared to size of Axis and Allies tank.
Does Risk suck?
-
i already posted an extensive post about how much and why risk sucks quite a while ago. Too lazy to find the link . . . . :mrgreen:

Its an okay game. If you want to have a quick game for fun with friends, then Risk is cool. If you want to play a game that has lots of thinking and strategy, then Risk is not the game for you.

Whatever you do buy Titlist Napoleon edition Risk… thats the bomb!!! its like axis and allies risk. it will cost you 50$ on ebay but its worth the price. They have generals and navys and its totally historical based. Not to mention you can allways sell your copy for more than you paid. Make sure you buy the ottoman expansion as well.
-
Never heard of it… but it sounds cool! I’ll google it right away
-
-
80 bucks??? I’d rather spend it on Attack–I was about to buy it, but I don’t have it… yet…
-
You have to look around. I have two copies and paid 50 bucks each
-
Where did you get it from, it’s not on eBay

Risk is like a gateway drug: it introduces you to bigger and better games. :-D

I started playing bigger and better games before I learned Risk :wink:

What, were you born in a Games Workshop or something? :mrgreen:
Find that surprising considering how prevalent Risk and other “major” board games (Monopoly, Scrabble, etc.) are compared to good, but more obscure games like A&A. Ask a group of people on the street if they’ve heard or played those two and I’m sure you’ll see Risk winning over A&A (but you knew that, right?). -

And yes, of course I knew that, if you make an online poll in a non-A&A site about what game people like the most… they’ll say Monopoly. The only time I use my copy of Monopoly is when I need fortification pieces for A&A (I use the house and hotel pieces) :-)

A real fun game thats actually allmost as good as AA is a game called Shiroco by TSR hobbies it came out in like 1986. It used a card system for moving the pieces. It was a game of battle in the african campaign ww2. look it up. i own 5 copies and we play mega games with it.
-
Compared to AaA yes it does suck… And even though I said yes I still owe it the honor of introducing me to “extended wargaming”…

Indeed GG
-
Yes if memory serves me right Risk was created before A&A, I think it was the first game to use the map of the world as a gameboard

Risk rocks if you are locked in an Army infirmary with no TV, no computer, no Axis and Allies and only Risk or a deck of cards to fill your days for months on end!
-
I don’t think Risk sucks at all. It’s a great game to play when you don’t have days to dedicate to A&A. It’s also a great game to play with family because it is easily taught

My only problem with Risk is that it’s more famous than A&A

What? No poker? I don’t believe you ever in the military.
Or was that phased out?
