The 1st episode is better than the 2nd. Its got some good points but i find it too predictable / just not that interesting to watch at times / and i find myself thinking "urgh that's pretty cheesy" too often.

I'm with Gecko on the risk tactics.

play_boy I might try to find somewhere you can get at episodes of this excellent show :)
I don't think it's illegal to share TV shows, but it's murky waters...

yeah n. america is good but its hard to take early on - try move up from your strong hold in S. America if ya ask me. No idea why getting russia would be any good.

sa is tough as its only 4 countries and 2 entries...I tend to lose if I go that way...Australia & NA then join up through Kamchatca/China/somatelse

err, surely 3 entries is like the most there are anywhere...
Australia, only has one...now thats defendable.

Can someone outline the rules as they know them btw, because the version I've got now has these missions you've gotta do etc and I'm sure thats never how I used to play it.

Dh seems to know the "real" rules... he woulda wooped my arse yesterday but this odd version of the game seems to make you lose if you don't end your turn before time runs out :lol:

Europe has ??4?? entries from ??6??
Asia has ??5?? entries from 4 or 5 (depending on the E Africa Rule)
Africa has 3 or 4 from 4

Just you sit and enjoy the spiders and snakes in Oz whilst the rest of us fight it out ;-)
