[Risk Legacy] Game 4: The Rules Have Changed

Phyphor

1 and 1. 1 defender remains. @Grunt's Ghosts do you want to use your missile to save one of your guys?

Grunt's Ghosts

Yes.

Phyphor

Okay I take 2 losses instead. 2 defenders, attacking with 8 now

Geth roll 3d6 for attack
Geth roll 2d6 for defense

attack:

3d6 11 [3d6=2, 3, 6]

defense:

2d6 5 [2d6=3, 2]

Phyphor

1 and 1
Geth roll 3d6 for attack
Geth roll 1d6 for defense

attack:

3d6 11 [3d6=5, 4, 2]

defense:

1d6 3 [1d6=3]

Phyphor

And that's it. Move 7 in, then maneuver 6 to Thailand #38 to end my turn

Phyphor

@Grunt's Ghosts to plop down some new units somewhere

Grunt's Ghosts

I hate your guts.

Drop them in... Japan (#35) I guess... there aren't really any good places to drop them in.

Phyphor

Eh, I got pretty good luck, expected to end up with closer to 4 units. Attacking is generally worthwhile; you kill something like 1.1 for every loss you take long run (attacking the Die Mech HQ costs you 1.6 for every 1 kill)

Phyphor

Oh and I guess I get a coin card

Sir Fabulous

Don't have access to a computer right now. Give me a little bit. @phyphor I think you did a little better than you thought. You conquered GG with 8 troops, not 7. Third post from the top of the page, you call it a 1-for-1 when it should have been a total win for you.

6 vs 3 and 3 vs 2.

Phyphor

Ah yes, you're right, so that last attack was unnecessary. Move the extra troop with the rest of them to 38

Sir Fabulous

MAP UP TO DATE AS OF: End of GG's Turn (Round 3)

jdarksun

Move 4 units from East Africa (#16) to North Africa (#14), leaving 2 behind.

Well, that was a shit show.

@Preda for some easy vengeance

Sir Fabulous

@jdarksun a small change of note. You must move at least as many troops into a conquered territory as dice rolled. Because you conquered Territory #17 with the following roll:

jdarksun wrote:

attack:
3#1d6 = 5 [1d6=5] 5 [1d6=5] 6 [1d6=6]
defense:
2#1d6 = 5 [1d6=5] 4 [1d6=4]

You must then move at least (but potentially more than) 3 troops into Territory #17. You elected to move two in, which is illegal.

However, you also mysteriously lost an extra troop somewhere, after your first roll, you go from 14 attacking troops to 11, which is not possible. Therefore, I'll take your turn as stated, returning your lost (and perhaps confused) troop to you in Territory #17.

Sir Fabulous

Hmm, I've been drawing a lot of North America Territory cards.

Maybe I need to shuffle this deck a little better.

Phyphor

It sounds like he used his maneuver to move troops back from east to north africa

Sir Fabulous

This post I interpreted as Jdarksun moving 2 troops from #14 to #17 and attacking #16 from #14.

Is that not the case?

Phyphor

I read it as "implicit move everything in, then attack with 7, then maneuver to north africa" since the most efficient play tends to be leaving only 1 behind, but I guess it could go either way

Preda

Recruit 4 in HQ.
All out Attack From Madagascar (19) to Eastern Africa (16).

Geth, roll 3#1d6 for attack
Geth, roll 2#1d6 for defense

attack:

3#1d6 3 # 4 [1d6=4] 6 [1d6=6] 2 [1d6=2]

defense:

2#1d6 2 # 4 [1d6=4] 3 [1d6=3]

Preda

Transfer back all but 1 army to HQ. Get Coin. Rest.

jdarksun

For clarity, this was the intent of my turn:

2. Recruit.
Recruited 5 Troops in North Africa (#14), 15 total.

3. Expand and Attack
Attack Central Africa (#17) from North Africa (#14) with 14 units (1 left behind in North Africa (#14)).
14 v 2, lost two
11 (yeah, I miscounted here, should have been 12) v 2, lost two
9 (10) v 2, won. 10 units transferred to Central Africa (#17).

Attack East Africa (#16) from North Africa (#14) with 7* units (2* left behind in Central Africa (#17)).
7 v 3, lost one
6 v 2, won. 6 units transferred to East Africa (#16).

Either the 7* should have been 8 or the 2* should have been 3. My intent was to attack and leave 2 behind, but that's unclear from the typo and the GM'd resolution is fine.

4. Maneuver
Move 4 units from East Africa (#16) to North Africa (#14), leaving 2 behind.

Sir Fabulous

@jdarksun

Ah, I understand. I was confused when you said "Attack East Africa (#16) with 7 units (leaving 2 in Central Africa (#17)."

You meant that you were only willing to lose a maximum of 7 units, but I thought that was the number of troops you were moving in.

In the future, you don't need to specify how many units you're attacking with, since you can stop attacking at any time. Just tell me which Territory you're attacking and which Territory you're attacking from, then once you've conquered it, tell me how many troops you're moving into your new Territory.

Hope that clears up any confusion.

Sir Fabulous

Oh also it's @phyphor's turn.

Phyphor

Deploy 5 to #38. Done @Grunt's Ghosts

Sir Fabulous

Just want to let people know that I'm hosting a big event today (Saturday), so I'll be gone for a while.

I apologize for the delay.

Sir Fabulous

More apologies are necessary. In the past few days I have alternated between being falling down drunk, a kid now, and a squid now.

But all is prepared. It is time for @jdarksun to continue the fight.

jdarksun

A... squid?
