I went to place my armies at the beginning of my turn and instead of placing the 1 army that i thought it was going to place it put ALL of my armies on the selected country.

How can i undo this so that i can put my armies where they need to be?

Please help!!!

most likely u didnt change the number in the drop down menu to select how many units to deploy and deployed all instead of 1. unfortunately, u cant undo deployments. just stick it out and wait for next turn :D

that's a shame, you should be able to undo that until your first attack, in my opinion

In real life I had a friend accidentally drop all his pieces. We play using chess rules: when you take your hands off the piece it's deployed. So we made him keep the ones that landed in his territories there as deployments.

Well we kind of do that. :lol: You have to move the pieces you say you're attacking with. Then you can't change your mind and not roll.

You press the "Ha ha, gutted!" button. That should do it.



Ahem,
Seriously though, you can't undo deployments. Although now you mention it I see no reason that you shouldn't be able to in sequential games, provided that you have yet to make an attack. One for suggestions perhaps?

makes sense if it is for seq, but it doesnt really fit well to the original gameplay style of risk, dont thing lack would approve.

Yeah, the whole point of my example was if he did that in real life I'd make him keep it that way. That's just the way I think things should be though.

No, to be fair there are far more pressing updates for us to be clamouring for. I don't think this is a 'suggestion' I'd use particularly often/ever.

Meh, one to think about on rainy days I guess.

Y'know, the kind of rainy day that follows 349034706 other rainy days and you've run out of all other thoughts...

lol, i have plenty of thoughts to think about on rainy days like, when it will stop raining or if whether the 26745th rain drop looks similar to 58746th rain drop. that thought never goes old :lol:
