Meta Game Notes: Okay the rules didn't change, we just found out that we were doing a couple of things wrong, so we fixed those issues and moved on. We had all forgotten the rules for risk, and took a more turtling approach to the first two games. The gloves were off, and blitzkrieg was on!Josh: Enclave of the Bear Greenland
Mike: Saharan Republic Kamchatka
Eric: Die Mechaniker North Africa
Luke: Imperial Balkania Central America
Stephen: Khan Industries India
Oddly enough, if we drafted we would have all picked out same started factions. Yes very strange and odd, but we are. Things do change, trust me they do.
Eric held fast to his turtling technique, despite knowing he could blitz out of his home areas. He was comfortable, and it would prove very interesting.
Luke Moved down into Serenity (South America) to secure the continent to get the bonus and the bonus for naming it. His attention went to keeping things built up on Brazil. despite Eric saying he wasn't interested.
Josh spread himself thin and fired first shorts on Luke in America. These proved to be his down fall, as he only left one unit in Ontario and then one unit in his HQ. Luke spotted this right away, and decided to make an offensive to secure Enclave's HQ.
Stephen and Mike were left battling it out between Asia and Australia. They were leaving it, so each would have at least one battle, that would end up in their favor. While Stephen was trying to secure Australia, Mike was playing him.
Since Josh left his HQ open, Luke made a move securing it right away. Josh then took advantage of the weakened "supply" route, cutting Luke in half. It wasn't long until Josh ended up securing Luke's HQ, so that each person was in the others HQ. These battles kept waging on as Eric continued to turtle slowly pushing up into Europe now, with no opposition.
It was then, that Eric make a strike onto Greenland, securing Enclave's HQ, and scoring himself a fourth resource card. Mike was well aware of what was going on. Stephen, was completely out of the picture since his attention was so focused on the Aussies and South East Asia.
Josh was beaten down to 4 territories, so reinforced Central America, looking to hang on. Luke, noticing this cashed in his Resource cards. Victory was out of the question, but eliminating Josh would bring opening a card pack, as well as making up for losing Greenland and his own capital. Josh was Eliminated from the game.
Mike, was Sneaky. He cashed in all his resource cards for a red star, and seeing Luke spread really thin from dealing with Josh made a run on Luke's capital in Central America. Mike only had three attacking soldiers, to Luke's one, but he held out keeping Mike from stealing the victory from Eric.. "Eat it Mike!" was written on the board, along with the naming of Africa. Belonga with Eric's name next to it. (read it together... and then chuckle).
Precinct 13 was founded in Western U.S. and Rhy'Din in Ural (minor cities 2 left) Resource added to Kamchatka.
Due to elimination... Enclave of the Bear received its first new power.

This was only the beginning...
