    I am thinking about getting Star Wars Risk and this question came up.

    As I understand it in the game someone controls the clones/Republic and the other controls the droid army/Sepratists. But after Order 66 both are under the control of the Emperor and on the same side basically.

    So what does the Republic player control once his clones have turned on him?

    Thanks.

    You're talking about the board game right? Why does that matter? The Republic ceases to exist after order 66 anyway.

    The Seperatist player roles an 8 sided die for each Republic controled planet when Order 66 is played. Order 66 can be called during any Seperatist players turn. The longer they wait the more likely it is that they will gain conrtol of a Republic planet. For example, if Order 66 is called on the 2nd turn, the Seperatist player will get each planet he/she roles an 8 for. But if they wait until the 11th turn, they will gain a planet if they role a 2-8. There's an Order 66 chart on the board to keep track of it all.

    Additionally, after Order 66 is played, the Seps place a Palpatine figure on the board on any planet they control. If the Republic takes that planet, the Seps automatically lose. Hope that helps. It's a fun varient on RISK but not a replacement for the original.

    No I'm talking about all the other star wars Risk things that are out there.

    It matters because I want to know what the one player does after Order 66.

    Thanks for the post Darth Lando but I'm still not clear on what happens.

    If you are the sepratist and I am the clone army and you enact Order 66 what do I control after that. In the film all clones turned and both them and the droid army were basically the same side.

    Does the board game take an alternate reality type thing and say only some of the clones join the emperor or do all the clones join and I would control jedi? Or is the game over after Order 66 and if you control more then 1/2 the systems you win?

    If you clones join your side who do I control the rest of the game?

    As the Seperatists, when I call Order 66, I role the die for each planet, like I explained in my earlier reply. For each planet that I succesfully take over, I replace ALL your troops and ships with an equal amount of troops and ships from my army. So the clone figures on the board become droids essentially. Then I place the Emperor piece on the board on any planet I control. Most likely, not every planet will be sucessfully converted. So you will have some armies left, who must make a mad dash and capture whatever planet the Emperor is on. If you take that planet, you win. If my, now vastly superior, army takes out your leftovers I win.

    Note, Order 66 is not required to win the game, although any Sep players would be foolish not to use it if they were about to loose.

    We aren't talking about the same thing but I do appreciate the help.

    I don't care about game mechanics or what die roll you need or that you even roll dice.

    I want to know who I control if I am the Republic after Order 66.

    In the film the droids are fighting the clones and then Order 66 happens and the droids and the clones are on the same side. So during the board game before Order 66 is used I am controlling the clones after Order 66 is used who am I controlling since the clones are fighting against what was the Republic?

    Do my left over pieces represent the last remaining Jedi, do the represent Clones that liked Yoda and Obi-wan to much and were able to go against the Order 66, are they bounty hunters hired by Bail Organa to fight the emperor, or whoever?

    From a story line point who am I controling after the clones join the Emperor?

    Any clone figs that are on converted planets are replaced with droids. You still control the remaining clones.

    Well then I definatly will be returning the game.

    Thanks for the info though but I don't like the idea of controlling the clones after Order 66.
