I will be playing a two player game first, most likely as the allies.

Probably doesn’t want us critiquing him on what he should and should not have done.  :wink:

Actually I don’t think mech inf will be a tech at all.

#699

What do you think will replace it? I was thinking it would allow mech inf to pull along an artillery.

I also hope war bonds is rid of, that tech was stupid.

Why? I actually liked that one.

Well, “IMHO”, it’s selling a sub-par crap product for a good amount of money that crosses the line. I speculate 7+ (although if rulebook mistakes counted we should probably add more voting options all the way up to 20+)

How about a better computer A and A? The one right now is ok but it could be a lot better.

I’m still not convinced of J1 total domination either. I definitely think that it is the way to go, but not quite sure that it unbalances it. But, if you believe it does, another idea would be to have an option where everyone gets a pre-game “noncombat move” to readjust their units more favorably. This would save a lot of naval annihilation and could add some defence to some places w/o giving the allies any extra money

At first i did it as a possible flank for the chinese. but then, I realized that (if you play Japan properly and dominate with your airforce) China died too fast to be flanked anyways. They were retreating/dying faster than my flanking units could possibly get behind them.

@cminke:

usa did declare war on germany 4 days or something after the declaration on japan, so i would say ya

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but there is this little bell in my head that tells me that it was actually Germany who declared war on the U.S. Confirmation? Anyone?

I say it should be whatever it was historically. I’m no expert, but I definitely know that Malta was a historical air fortress. Not sure about naval, but whatever they had, I think it should be represented that way.

@Brain:

Just to clear things up. The Dutch are from Netherlands. The Danish are from Denmark.

You be nice Mr. Fire Knight.

Will do  :-D

@idk_iam_swiss:

I thought the Dutch were from Denmark. Where are the Dutch from?

WOW  :lol:. You know, that probably would have been a good thing to google before posting your cluelessness to the world. The dutch are from the netherlands.

@ABWorsham:

My favorite Risk is the the LOTR version.

Which version is this? B/c more likely than not, the site above has it.

Does it have the Napoleon version?

I don’t know quite what you’re talking about. But if it’s a different map version of RISK, it doesn’t have all of the actual boards that are sold. It does have the original map, but the others are all community made (with all members able to give input) over like a year process. Currently there are 156, so you shouldn’t be too concerned about not having one to your fancy  :wink:. But if you’re interested in Napoleon, there is a map in the making right now of Europe during the Napoleonic era. It should be out relatively soon I would think for Beta testing the last stage of the map making process.
EDIT

RISK definitely does not suck. Try this site out. It has the original version of RISK. Along with many other playing options that bring the basic RISK strategy to a new level. With almost 20000 active members, a scoreboard that plots your ranking compared with everyone, tournaments, forums, along with playing options like doubles, fog of war, freestyle, assassin, and more… this is the greatest strategy site ever made.

Try it out! And post your thoughts in the forum for others to see.

btw, I’m still The Fire Knight on that site… and I’m open to challengers (I’m almost ranked a major, so good luck!)

Yea. At first I was really pissed when I found out that the ultimate A and A game is worth $600 dollars (no kidding, check it out) on Amazon. But I don’t really mind it now. It will just be a collectors edition, which is how it was meant to be, but the real a and a players will all be playing aag40 (unless it sucks, which I’m not counting out either).

Glad you like it. We should play once I get an available game slot open. I’m still The Fire Knight on there. Try to stick with the site until you’re ranked (no longer a question mark). That’s after five games and when all of the game options become available to you.

Sounds like my kind of game. And it’s dirt cheap. I might try it out. Quick question… I just told a friend about it and he thinks he’ll buy it too. Is it multiplayer? B/c that would be epic.

Yea. I really think that a lot of the problems that are coming up are b/c this is only half of the game. Anyone else think that this is kind of pointless? They release half of the game (they call it a game on its own but bs I say) and the half that they release is filled with crap (errors, in rules, maps, pieces, and such). They should have just waited and released it perfect all as one game. Anyone else agree?

It’s only worth it’s cost if it absorbs a hit and lives to fight and take free hits in several battles. So maybe one per fleet. But only if it’s like a permanent fleet (that only fights fleets smaller than it, not ones where it could potentially receive and give 100% casualties). So I think that it will receive a lot more use in Europe, where naval dominance will be easier to get and therefore make an absorber more useful. Thoughts?

Yea. I think that the game is balanced. If you play the game many times and differ from me, then be my guest and make a house rule. Although I think a cooler handicap for Japan would be to add russia in the game with some sort of conditional neutrality to realistically keep some Jap units in the north (just a suggestion if you find it unbalanced, i don’t use that rule).
