    GALACTIC RISK

    War! The Galaxy Far, Far Away is crumbling under its latest sweeping conflict, but the winner will finally be decided with a game of strategy, diplomacy, and luck: the classical elements of any good war.

    The Planets
    30 planetary battlegrounds will determine the war's outcome. Long dashes indicate that the planets can reach one another, with the periods there for markup purposes.

    Muunilinst?Dantooine
    ....l..................l .........................Cadomai
    ....l..................l .........................l........l

    Bespin?Hoth......Naboo.................Nar Shaddaa
    ................l..............l............................l
    ..........Mustafar......Geonosis?Tatooine?Kamino

    The galaxy is divided into six sectors. They are:

    Braxant (5) Muunilinst, Dantooine, Ansion, Ord Mantell, Mandalore
    Perlemian (5) Yavin, Raxus, Kashyyyk, Mon Calamari, Cadamai
    The Core (7) Galantos, Coruscant, Alderaan, Corellia, Malastare, Neimodia, Phu
    Mid Rim (5) Denon, Naboo, Mimban, Toydaria, Nar Shaddaa
    Death Wind (3) Tatooine, Geonosis, Kamino
    Outer Rim (5) Rakata, Endor, Bespin, Hoth, Mustafar

    Planet Distribution
    As soon as a player signs up, he or she PMs the Game Host (GH) a numbered list, with numbers ranging from 1-30, which shows how much the player wants each planet, 1 being the most desired. The GH will then compare each player's list and assign each planet based on who has it most highly rated. Each player shall receive five planets.

    Army Distribution
    After a player learns which planets he or she has been assigned, he or she should then distribute 25 armies among the five planets. Players may either post their list or send it to the GH privately, depending on the player's level of paranoia. The only requirement is that each planet needs at least 1 army.

    The Turn
    After the planets are divided among the players, play begins, going in a random order. Each player follows the following phase cycle, which should all be contained in a single post to be made within 24 hours of the start of the player's turn:

    1. Deploy ? Units earned from the number of controlled planets, controlled sectors, and Risk cards are to be placed on planets under the player?s control. There is no limit or restriction on his or her placement.

    2. Attack ? The player publicly declares his or her plan of attack. All planets must have at least two armies on them to launch an attack and all attacks must be launched against adjacent enemies. All attacks must be declared in a single post, but there is no limit to the number of attacks that a player may make. He or she may choose to forego this phase entirely, in which case he or she shall immediately proceed onto phase three.

    Combat is conducted in the following way:
    a. Player declares attack intention, including location and commitment. Commitment is used to determine how long the attack will continue. For example: Bespin attacks Hoth, three rolls. This means that the game host will resolve the actual battle within three sets of rolls. Battle continues until the number of turns has been spent, the attacking side is incapable of attacking, or the planet has been captured.
    b. The GH rolls one die minus one for each attacking army, with up to a maximum of three. If Bespin were to have four armies, it would attack with three dice. If it were to have five armies, it would still attack with three dice. The defender rolls one die for each defender, with up to a maximum of two. The highest attack rolls are com

    Be sure to send your Planet Preference list asap. If we can get planets distributed and armies deployed by the end of the weekend, I think that we'd be doing very well.

    So sign-ups are now officially closed!

    As of yet, I have not received either BaSSil's or snowspeeder_gunner's Planet Preference lists. As soon as you two send those in, I'll distribute the planets and we'll move on to the initial deployment phase.

    Also: some of you have signed up with the color you would like, while others of you have not. If you all of you could let me know what colors you want, I'd appreciate it.

    I now have everyone's Planet Preference list. Thank you all for your promptness! I'll distribute the planets later on today, and then you can each deploy your initial 25 troops.

    The planets are hereby distributed! Now, some of your lists were scarily similar, so in a few circumstances I was forced to rely on Lady Luck. One player could have claimed each of the first seven planets on the list, and two others did not even receive their first choice. It's crazy, but I did distribute the planets according to the lists, so no belly-aching!:p

    You're up, RX_Sith. Please post your deployment (you may place 3 additional armies, as that is 1/2 of 5 rounded up) and attack figures in one post, as described in the OP. If you would like to include your fortification numbers in that same post, you're welcome to, but you may also wait to see how your attacks go. If you have questions, or need clarification of something, don't hesitate to ask. That goes for everybody.

    Also, in regard to turn length: I won't be too strict on it, but I'd like you guys to strive for the standard 24-hour window. If for some reason you don't show up and its been a couple days, I'll deploy your troops evenly, rolling for any troops that do not divide evenly.

    Kashyyyk takes Yavin, losing 3 armies in the process.

    Please decide how many of the 7 remaining armies will remain in Kashyyyk and how many will occupy Yavin, with a minimum of 1 on each. While you're at it, go ahead and do the fortification phase, remembering that any troops used in combat this turn may not move more than one planet.

    And yes, sorry, but this is the game of RISK, where nothing less than total domination wins. [face_skull]

    Tatooine attacks Geonosis until death.

    Nar Shaddaa attacks Mimban until death.

    Tatooine take Geonosis, and BaSSiL loses no troops. BaSSiL now controls all of the Death Wind Sector.

    Nar Shaddaa takes Mimban, but at the cost of 4 armies.

    Where do you want to leave your armies, and do you want to make any fortification maneuvers?

    Split Three to Three between the attacking troops on Mimban and Nar Shaddaa.
    And Six troops to Geonosis, leaving one on Tatooine


    Fortify by moving one from Denon to Mimban and two from Kamino into Nar Shaddaa.
