Possible. It's a big country.

And I believe you about the dangers of Risk. After one heated game, when my companion thought he had been ganged up on, he threw an iron across the room, and not in the soft, gentle way you may be thinking. |

Shortly after my bro received his mission call last year, I thought of ratting him out to the brethren for the treacherous weasel that he is. But then I realized he was about to become scoutmaster for three years in a backward nation, and I decided vengeance was finally mine. |

1. Always choose black 2. Always start in South America.....fairly easy to defend, decent bonus cards after each round. 3. Most important.....each and every time I occupy a new territory, I use the same line...."And the dark army continues to cover the face of the Earth." It makes little sense, but after a few battles, it really annoys the heck out of everyone. These strategies have little or no corrolation to my overall success in the game. I am simpy stating that I do them each time. I also like to give real-time commentary....as in, just after I roll the dice, "And DDD takes yet ANOTHER army..." I think that if I were ever in real combat, my own troops would go Platoon and kill me.

We should play online risk. Or online setters of catan -- an even more addictive game, IMO.

No question if you had been my brother, one of us would not be alive today. And as I envisioni you playing the game, I'm reminded of the epilogue of Animal House when Niedermyer's picture comes up with the tagline, "Fragged by his own men in Vietnam."

You nerds should get the Risk II CD-Rom; check your local eBay listings. You can change the settings for example make Australia worth 10 reinforcements, as you then slowly toy with the competition. I laugh at the petty mail room boss in The Secret of My Success for thinking he is God. Ha!! I am God!!

Risk was a favorite on my mission as well. The Italian version was different - it allowed the defense to roll the same number of dice as the offense, even if you lacked the sufficient number of armies. Socialism even rears it's ugly head in board games.
No arguments or anything ever really happened during the mission, but in high school, my friends and I finally decided to stop playing Risk because we valued our friendship. The games almost always resulted in fisticuffs. I haven't played it in about 20+ years. I need to buy that game for my family. It wold be great fun for an FHE activity.
