GFF Risk 10: The One Where Tritoch Doesn't Win

4 Dice Rolls Connecticut

I can only do one login session per day after work, as I'm in a secure monitored network while on the job. Its highly likely that this will always be my reply time unless its a weekend. That said, taking my turn.

Attacking New Hampshire. (won)

Annexing Florida

Attacking Georgia (lost)

Attacking Georgia (won)

Annexing South Carolina

Annexing Rhode Island

Attacking Connecticut (lost)

Overall, middle of the road.

Your's Rock.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, one of the major differences though is that we don't really have much in the way of troop management with this version. Without actual armies, we can't do things like reinforce areas we feel are of high importance, block choke points, that kind of thing. That was one of the main aspects which often defined games of normal Risk, as it was often a rush to see who could overwhelm N. America and S. America as they were easy to block and hold with fortifications in Brazil, Greenland/Iceland, and Alaska. I don't necessarily think that was better, as it was often that strategy, but it was different.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wait...how are you attacking California or North Carolina?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Since Rockgamer's currently going to be a Warlord if he makes it to his turn with his states intact, do unaligned states like Tennessee count towards the total money he would gain if this happens, or do they count as having no money?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

4 Dice Rolls Alabama

Attacking North Carolina. (Lost)
Attacking North Carolina. (Lost)
Attacking North Carolina. (Won)
Attacking Alabama. (Lost)

Well, that went pretty miserably. 3/8 so far.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Haha, looks like you get your wish Zerg. Thought it was gonna be all 10's there for a second. Also, Tritoch is down if that's a legal string across the corners. Which means a bunch of bad coming our way shortly.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

4 Dice Rolls New York

Think there's a miscount with my gil in the spreadsheet. The way I count, I've got:

0 Start
+ 3 Annexed Gil
+ 3 Successful Attack Gil (+5 now)
+ 4 Defense Gil
+ 10 Turn Gil

Perhaps I'm missing something.

Attacking Rhode Island (won)
Attacking Connecticut (lost)
Attacking Connecticut (won)
Attacking New York (lost)

Another middle of the road round

How ya doing, buddy?

4 Dice Rolls Pennsylvania

Attacking New York (lost)
Attacking New York (won)
Attacking New Jersey (won)
Attacking Pennsylvania (lost)

+3 for three successful attacks
+5 as I believe I was a warlord when that started.

Ah, to have a better than average turn.

Actually, Tank to Pennsylvania so I don't have to depend on Rock to stop Warlord status.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

5 Dice Rolls Tennessee

Eh, what the hell. The Marylanders look up to see nuclear fire in their skies.

Buying / Using Atomic Bomb on Maryland.

Holy Crap.

I take Delaware, Virginia, and West Virginia also.

Attacking D.C. (lost)

Attacking D.C. (won)

Attacking Ohio (won)

Attacking Tennessee (won)

Got my wish I guess.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

4 Dice Rolls Kentucky 4

Is the current 22 with taking Nutty's gil already? Cool, thanks for the quick reply.

Attacking Kentucky (lost)
Attacking Kentucky (lost)
Attacking Kentucky (lost)

Haha, apparently Hawkeye took the good rolls. Ah well, one more.

Attacking Kentucky (won)

Guess 4th times the charm.

Most amazing jew boots

4 Dice Rolls Ohio

Apologies on the delay, as mentioned in the Wheel of Fortune thread, I had some unexpected work travel hit me. Taking the turn now.

Attacking Pennsylvania (lost)
Attacking Pennsylvania (lost)
Attacking Pennsylvania (won)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

11 Dice Rolls Burn Those Hoosiers

I might, Hawkeye's been having some damn good rolls.

Buying some Ninjas and using them.
Using an EB.

Attacking Virginia (won)
Attacking Kentucky (won w/ninjas)
Attacking Tennessee (lost)
Attacking Tennessee (lost)
Attacking Tennessee (lost)
Attacking Tennessee (won)

Wow, that was awful.

Atomics on Indiana

I take Michigan and Illinois in addition

Buy / Use tanks on Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas

With the final 10 I get from those wins, I also:

Buy / Use tanks on Texas

I have more faith in a Hawkeye win now, as I apparently roll like garbage.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I didn't realize it was the end of the game if that is the case. If so, I guess its mostly us, as the effect of Warlord status is pretty rough. I don't think its decided by any means, although I think even if it comes down to us, it may then end up being a back and forth until somebody gets a good run of luck. Until they're gone, you actually have a pretty significant advantage, as you suck away all their money before I can get any of it each round.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Thanks, and had a great time with the game. Wasn't intentional at first, but you were right that I eventually started making the division between myself and other players purposeful, taking on as few as possible as I could at once. That block of states between myself and Krelian ended up being a huge boon. Two lucky nukes also helped a lot.

I also am not sure how I do math. I think what happened is I forgot I had spent the money for the Ninjas and then just kept on spending.
