Question on advancing troops during an attack
Posted: Mon Jan 28, 2013 4:54 am
Played the actual board game this weekend with some friends and we had an argument over advancing troops after an attack. I've always played that once you take a territory you can choose as many armies as you want to move to that territory as long as there is at least one there. My friend on the other hand says that if you are rolling with 3 die you are "moving" three armies into the defenders territory and if the defender loses you must keep those 3 there. The rules don't really touch on this but just say a minimum of one army must occupy the defeated territory.
For example:
I have 13 troops in Brazil and I am attacking Peru which has 2 troops in it. All three of my die beat the two defense die however I now want to attack North Africa. Am I forced to move three troops into Peru and have only 10 to attack North Africa with? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
