Count me in that game

this would piss me off like:
1) Too Long on big maps
2) 20 round slow death
3) lets say you got all of north america, eastern russia, hawaii, iceland. No matter what you will still get your bonus

1) Then don't play the option on larger maps
2) Then don't fight back at the end. Most maps will finish within 5-6 turns at end game.
3) That's one of the major points and benefits to the setting. The only way to break the bonus at that point is to gain ground, which in most normal circumstances is quite possible and if it isn't at that point, the game's over in a few rounds regardless.

I agree. Point 3 is one of the major benefits of this setting. You actually have to develop an strategy for the entire game, and not depend on just one lucky strike.

By the way, 2012AA Tournament just strating...

At this point I think I have just accepted this will never be a reality. :-(

Lack and I were just talking about this again a couple of days ago. I reminded him how much I think it would add a way to play, and he was intrigued by more so than when we discussed it earlier...

I hold out hope!

I'm always holding out hope, though admittedly it's easier for me now that I'm on a temporary vacation from CC. It's good to hear that it's at least on Lack's radar at this point.

I'm all for new gameplay options and this seems to be a popular one

I think it is something I'd probably play a good 25% of the time as a change of pace. Hope to see it!

Once I come back, if it were implemented, it's the type of thing I'd use at least half the time if I could find the games... it really is an amazing way to play Risk and adds sooooo much more strategy to the game.

And playing it without having to worry about potential rule breaking... would be legen... wait for it...

It will be fantastic when this is brought in, its such a good style of play. One that will get used alot, maybe not by everyone but still used alot.
