Are there any Risk Masters out there wanting to share?

[PsyDev]

Where is there really good information on Risk strategy? Many sites I've read cover the basics, but of course they do not talk about different maps, sticking only to discussion of the original board game's map. But after playing many games I can see that strategy and especially diplomacy can be rather detailed and nuanced. Who out there writes about risk strategy at a high level? Are there CC players who run websites about strategy, that anyone's seen?

My experience is that most in the forum don't know what they're talking about, at the best of times. I am looking for some high level discussion from players that are really good and that really know what they are talking about.

Where can I find that?

Thanks,

If you go to the Strategy Sub-Forum which has a lot of stuff about Strategies for certain maps etc.

Also there is a group called the Strategy Guides Ad-Hoc Group who are currently writing Strategy Guides for ConquerClub maps, They might release some guides soon.

There is the Society of Cooks which is a school that teaches the basics of Classic Terminator.

Other than that, [player]maniacmath17[/player] is a former number #1 player and gives private lessons to anyone who buys him premium, you can find out all about that here

Hope that helps...

I'm pretty sure the advanced course at the US Military Academy at West Point is the best

Robin is always so helpful. : )

I will add a few comments.

1. Ask a more specific question. What type of game are you talking about right now, (i.e. what settings)

2. Diplomacy has no place in this game, unless you are playing worthless settings like stadard no cards, or standard flat rate. Any real setting you won't need help from others.

3. Find out who the good players are and play in the same games as them. With or against. Of course then there is the issue of finding out who is the best at each setting. Perhaps I will be so bold as to suggest a few.

This is just my opinion, others will disagree.

The best doubles seq player is Blitzaholic.
The best quads seq is Sjnap
There are a lot of good board game players, 6 players, std, seq, esc, ill list a few. Maniacmath, scottland, poomaker, joecoolfrog, and a ton of others including the lady who posted above.

Again, for more comments post specific settings and you'll probably get better feedback.
