Grombar, you spread yourself to thin, a shame on my nice little imperial courts union. Attacking both Africa and NA at once.... just take back SA, and regain your positions for reals!

and that means they have to turn in 2 sets to brake even. nice.

Actually, that's a rather bad thing, everything considered.
Not much of a victory at all.

Isn't it obvious? Broken and limited territory, lots of cards. Most of the reinforcements will be stuck in extremely poor locations, and he has to use them. Wasted opportunity. Even if Clockwork had gotten them it'd be in the same position due to its disposition. Nothing scary about it at all. Distribution maximums go:
Siberia: 3
China: 2
Irkutsk: 4
Yakutsk: 4
Kamchatka: 4
Japan: 3
Hawaii: 2
Total maximum is 22. Only Siberia, China, Kamchatka, Japan and Hawaii can really attack anywhere, and of those most of them are weak. Irkutsk can wipe out Mongolia but is then stuck behind the lines and has to be tactical moved out, as does Yakutsk. Furthermore, attacking anyone with the peripheral territories will only extend the distance required for the strongest concentrations to go. Admittedly, he might not have enough to fill it all out, but even if the outer territories only are garrisoned, they'll be widely distributed and further attacks make it easy them to become diluted regardless, because their position is awful.
So basically the Comrades won barely a damn thing at all except a free "maximize all your territorial garrisons" pass and that doesn't do them much good, and they have to throw at least six cards out now. You people really don't know how to play the game.

Meh. I'd also note making a last stand with 2 units is foolish too. Escape is always the superior tactical (and in the event, strategic) choice.

Mischief?
nah, I wanted out.

Or maybe this is all just psychological warfare. Never thought of that did you?

I didn't realize there was any skill involved in Risk, it's all just lucky dice rolls.
