Remember that troops that are placed within a continent are useless. Move them to the outside because every army counts to deter invasions.
Try not to let other players control continents, but don't weaken yourself too much in the process. Your opponents are planning to complete their strategic plans.
If their plans go well, you will end up in deep trouble. Rather than waiting for your opponent's next move, you should take the initiative and keep them guessing. Make a surprise move to make him defensive. Make attack-and-run moves. Tease them even sometimes with a random move. Even when you are a little weaker, your unexpected moves force stronger players to think harder and be more cautious. Regardless of the turn order, Risk merely is game of math.
Your best chances at battle victories within a dice situation. Establishing your stronghold in a location where you can gain early a continent and your opponents have weak positions is vital. This strategy maximizes your chances to take over the most countries with the fewest casualties. In that same line, if you are third to act, you must be more conservative in your first-turn expectations.
Most of your 1-army countries will be gone and taking over a continent on your first turn besides Australia, if you have a chance , may not be possible. Especially when players become emotional, they make mistakes. Exploit this as much as possible when it happens. Also, their egos can make them distracted from their original plans. Think to abandon your continent and instead invade his.
This move will again disorient him, and he will be one step behind you and always have to respond to your movements. My experience is limited to their playing styles, though.
I start in Australia against popular advice, it seems , and then progress from there conservatively. I will never weaken my front by going for that extra territory at all cost. Breach out to Japan, and then north. Strengthen the access point to North America, and then head for Africa. Don't forget the power of diplomacy! Don't anger the guy who controls or is trying to control North America - leave that till later.
My experience is that the game ends in a big war between East and West, me being East for no other reason that the game plays to my liking that way. If you look at the continents and compare the number of borders vs reward, Australia is the easiest, but the next step from there is Asia, which is one of the hardest continents to hold.
The next best is North America. With a reward of 5, but only 3 borders to defend, this is - in my opinion - always the best option. It's easy to expand into South America, and with Asia and Europe usually fragmented, it's relatively easy to attack one country to gain a card while you consolidate.
One last piece of advice, leave 2 armies on Central America, even after taking South America. If someone happens to break into one border, this is usually enough to prevent them from breaking your continent bonuses.
Even though people here seem to disregard the tactics of taking a continent and trying to hold it, here are the stats that we have seen, out of the thousand of 4-people games played:.
And indeed, people tend to go after Australia most of the time break down of first continent held :. I'd go for one of the larger continents Europe or Asia , myself. I won't take it early, because there will be one or two or three holdouts. But it's easy to be forgotten in the mix as attention is focused elsewhere on the smaller continents.
Probably the most important advice for early on in the game, as well as later, is be flexible. For example, if there are several players of equal strength, likely leading a long game even with increasing cards , you will likely need a continent. Or, if there are five or more players, you will likely do better without defending a continent but focusing on positioning to attack a weak players when the card bonuses get high enough.
Europe is rarely a good idea - even if you start out strong there initially - it is just too exposed. North America on the other hand can work, but only if you take your time to clear it out. In games of increasing card values, make sure you always have a line of attack in all directions.
This is also one of the problems of defending large continents - can force you to spread your armies, making a quick strike difficult. Personnaly, I think Europe is a lot underestimate, but it's a great continent to start with if you can win it early, turn. I try to control the south, as in africa, australlia, and always South America. South America Allows expansion into North, and Africa is the only other way to access it. Africa is expandable into Europe and Asia as well.
Austraillia is just good for the bonus.
