Use Fixed Armies for Cards

We always play fixed values for Risk Cards:

3 Cannons = 4 armies
3 Soldiers = 6 armies
3 Horsews = 8 armies
3 Mixed = 10 armies

We find this puts more emphasis on strategy. Too often, with increasing values, a
weak player (or any player) can cash in for 30+ armies and turn the game around by
mere brute force rather than strategic play.
