Risk - The Walking Dead: scale of units same as Axis and Allies?

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

@Baron:

I will not buy anything for now, but if we play more often, I will try to add something for Fortresses.

Monopoly hotels really work?

Not just ANY Monopoly hotels… as you know, Monopoly comes in many, Many, MANY different themed versions… the Monopoly Hotels I used were from LotR Monopoly… and yes, the hotels from LotR Monopoly are basically Middle Earth fortresses perfectly suited in size and sculpt for use in LotR Risk… as I mentioned earlier, by default they come in a semi-translucent white, which can be used for all sides… I went one step further and painted mine to match the four army colors for further clarity. If you search E-Bay, you can probably find someone just selling the LotR hotels for cheap… I didn’t spend much, and a lot cheaper than buying the whole game just for the hotels.

it didn’t work out because it wasn’t based on Axis and Allies. They just stole the name and slapped it on Command and Conquer part 34

@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!

I think part of Australia should be connected to Argentina.

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

@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:
