Risk: Battlefield Rogue

+1 for LOTR risk. It was actually the game that then got me into A&A!

@Mallery29:

Now if we were talking say LOTR Risk, I’d have to go with Gondor! It’s the key to the entire game, even if it’s a b���� to hold!

Awww… I finally got around to getting this game too!

Hopefully, those risk games end before the cards trade in for too many armies.

40+ armies for such a trade, added to regular production could build in a lottery mentality for your kids.

A&A has steadier reinforcement per turn and favors frontal defensive stacking .  This playing style would often lose in risk .

Played many hours of LOTR Risk, great board. Love the strongholds and leaders.

I think part of Australia should be connected to Argentina.

That’s way too far away look at the map.

Another cool thing with this game is you can change the sound to War Tapes mode, and it is about as close as you are going to get to being on a battlefield from your living room. Awesome Multi-player, I’m on PS3 too.

@Jermofoot:

BF:43, while not as cartoony, still has a lot of similar appeal.  Alas, it was not free…but I have gotten my money out of it!

If 1943 had more maps, It would be the best shooter available to console owners by far

I hope they do make more, it’s still the best one for the money.  I have newer games but still go back to this a few times a week.

@Malus:

I can’t see what there is to so mad about regarding Risk…
As long as your 3 or more players it can be a real fun game to play, theres not much thinking about strategies its all luck and everyone against whoever is on the stronger side.
Don’t ever mistake Risk for being more than it is, its not strategic you don’t need to calculate much, its just Risk.
I like it…

Good point.  Risk is just a game of luck.  No strategy.  However it is still fun to play.  Call 3 or 4 friends over, order some pizza and buy some beer……and you got yourself a fun night.  :wink:
