Ramdust's Risk Strategies

It's always effective to let your opponent THINK that you're
just going to border him and not attack. Then, wait until he has
the entire continent and attack. Some players then pull back and
reinforce but the secret strategy is to stay there with all your
armies. This way, he'll only worry about getting his continent
back in his next turn, thus forgetting about his other borders.
A good risk player can spot two other players doing this and
invade. The other player will almost definately conquer the weaker
of the two battling.
Also, most ignorant players always want to be the first to
attack. A good player will go last so that he can always invade a
continent at the last second to prevent an opponent's gain of extra
armies.
Happy gaming!
