"Shotgun" Reinforcements

Concise description:- Troops can move from one territory to any and all adjacent territories.
Specifics/Details:- Let's say you have 7 troops in Western Australia. You can move 1 to Eastern Australia, 2 to New Guinea and 3 to Indonesia.
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:- This style of reinforcement is a step up from the dull Adjacent and a step or two down from the cheap Chained and Unlimited. In other words, a beneficial upgrade from Adjacent without being as overpowered as Chained and Unlimited.

A form of this has been suggested before, called "unlimited Adjacent". Depending how far you go with it, this could be a complete mirror of an already Rejected Idea.

I see... Me and my friends play this way all the time when we play Risk, so I thought I'd suggest it. We call it "Shotgun" reinforcements since it's like a "spread shot" in both situations

As i said, i'm unsure if the TS is going as far as they wanted. Unlimited Adjacents had many flaws, as it gave you the option to reinforce adjacent as many times as possible. Well, that just turns into Unlimited, just takes 5 minutes longer, as they reinforce, then reinforce to the next, until they get the troops where they want them

How about then like adjacent you can only move troops to a territ once, and you can only move troops from one territ like adjacent.
That way you could use the shotgun like mr sullivan is suggesting.

when you click it you 5 guys if there is 6 on the spot and you can put them all any place that is around you and then you turn automaticly ens so its sourda like chained adjacent

Okay, just to be clear on my idea, look at ye olde map below:
If I had 7 troops in Western Australia I can choose to move troops from W. Australia to any or all adjacent territories (such as 1 troop to E. Australia, 2 to New Guinea, and 3 to Indonesia or 4 to Indonesia and 2 to E. Australia). YOU CANNOT CONTINUE DOING TROOP MOVEMENTS FROM OTHER TERRITORIES. Essentially you just pick one territory to move troops from. Please let me know if I'm not being clear.

It's clear Sully, and i think really playable!
And, I still want to bring back the idea of multiple adjacent. It would be possible to not let it become like a "slow unlimited" just by adding this rule: once a region have received troops, it canot reinforce another.
So if you want to move troop like, 5 regions away, it will need 5 rounds.
In the end you'll be able to do multiple reinforcements.. And avoiding troop to travel the world in one round!

playable and excellent, might be some coding issues to allow a second and third reinforcement per your desccription using ye olde map.
How about this? If truly a shotgun, you get one click (select the territory to reinforce from) and then the software blasts your armies outward to all of the adjacent territories in a random manner?

that sounds more like nail bomb reinforcements

Good idea with multiple adjacent reinforcments. If its possible with coding like Q brings up, that sounds like a viable option to add a new flavor to the reinforcment settings

I like this suggestion. But, shouldn't this just substitute the current "adjacent reinforcements"? Looks like this is the way adjacent reinforcements was mean to be from the begining.
Plus, I think it will be a lot more likely to be accepted if this is an upgrade to an existing (and almost unused) option than "yet another option"
