@The-Janus said in "East & West" by Imp Games - Discussion:

On the topic of homebrews, would anyone be interested in my rules for playing an E&W scenario, using the RISK: Reinvention boardgame?
It’s definitely a lot more of an abstraction, but the idea was to keep some of the same feel as the original.

@The-Janus said in "East & West" by Imp Games - Discussion:

I really had fun with the version of E&W that I came up with for RISK: Reinvention

@The-Janus said in "East & West" by Imp Games - Discussion:

Honestly, if you feel the need to strip things down, but maintain the flavour of it, I can definitely give you some suggestions in that regard – I’ve written an E&W scenario for Risk.

…

So, as you can see, I’ve been threatening to do this for a while, and the YouTube algorithm recently bit me with the RISK bug again.

Sometime in the coming weeks, I’m going to do a writeup on this topic – an East & West mod, for RISK. Way back in the day, when I was first playing RISK (and E&W, for that matter) my friends owned the original, Parker Brothers-style version of the game. When I decided to pick up a copy to own for myself (probably around… 2010?) the “Reinvention” version of RISK is the one I ended up purchasing.

I still have some documentation of the rules for both the “classic” RISK and the “Reinvention” versions of the E&W mod, but I’m going to focus on the latter, since I think the additions of cities and capitols actually help with a lot of the mechanics/balance.

From my experience, this version of RISK actually makes for a really great marriage between the very specific cold war flavour of E&W, but with the speed and abstraction that are really RISK’s great strengths. Since it’s still a 3v1 scenario, there are some changes to the usual RISK formula, but it all still feels familiar.

Anyways, stay tuned for that to show up in this thread, sometime later this month.

@barnee Thanks, do I need to apply the changer before I place/arm the mine or can the changer be swapped after arming?

Ah, does it matter where the other units are made? E.x. I made a tank in Leningrad – is that fine because there is a factory or could I have made it in any territory (even without a industrial complex)?

I’ll plan to edit the 4 mines to be 1 infantry in Leningrad and 1 mine in Moscow on the USA/UK turn

@oysteilo @mikawagunichi

Made one minor tweak (left 2 more inf in Amur). Good to go with Japan’s turn.
