A long time ago I started a thread to get a game of Risk II going using my copy of the PC game. It pretty much died because I got sidetracked with other things. But I've been working on a better way to handle a Risk game in this play-by-post/email medium.
I've got a lot of stuff organized in spreadsheets to keep track of pretty much everything and to carry out battle resolution. I borrowed a lot of the rules from the existing game (boardgame and the PC game) along with a lot of stuff from BoardGameGeek.
I have a lot of it done but there are two main problems I am having.
1) I have not done a play test, so the first game will probably go slower than I would like.
2) I can't find a half-way decent map to use. I have some of the classic board game split into the territories, but I want one that has the additional 6 territories introduced in Risk II.
Here are the rules I've written up. Take a look, see if you like. Make suggestions or ask for clarifications, etc.
These rules are subject to change. I may let us ignore a lot of the rules if it starts to slow down gameplay.
Consider them a guideline or a direction that the game will take.
The playing board is a map of six continents, each subdivided into several territories. The total number of territories in RISK II is 48, as opposed to the 42 territories in standard RISK. Each continent is a unique base color and contains from 5 to 12 territories. Here are the new territories, and the continent to which they correspond.
Hawaii → North America
Oikiqtaluk → North America
Svalbard → Europe
Falkland Islands → South America
Philippines → Australia
New Zealand → Australia
There are also new connections between territories.
Oikiqtaluk connects to Greenland, Quebec, Ontario, and Northwest Territory.
Hawaii connects to the Western United States and Japan.
The Philippines connects to Indonesia and Japan.
New Zealand connects to Eastern Australia and Argentina.
The Falkland Islands connect to Argentina and South Africa.
Svalbard connects to Greenland and Scandinavia.
First, players count out a number of his/her armies for initial deployment, according to the number of players in the game.
3 players 35 armies
4 players 30 armies
5 players 25 armies
6-8 players 20 armies
Random Allocation is going to be the fastest, easiest and most efficient way to allocate beginning territories. I will be allocating the territories randomly by computer assisted random functions and present the allocated map publicly to all players. At this point, public or private/PM's may be sent between players to create pacts, treaties or any other honorable/backstabbing diplomacy. Each player will PM me their troop deployment orders which will be revealed to all in an update once all orders are recieved.
Players acquire a Risk Card by conquering enemy territories. When a turn is played and a territory is conquered, the conquering player automatically receives a Risk Card. Conquering more than one territory still only warrants the award of one Risk Card. If no territories are conquered, no Risk Cards are awarded.
Cards are exchanged for more troops during the Reinforcement Phase. Cards are turned in by sets of 3. Each card depicts a territory corresponding to one on the map and a kind of unit (Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery). There are a total of 50 cards (16 Infantry, 16 Cavalry, 16, Artillery, 2 Wild). A Wild card depicts all 3 types of units and can be used as any kind in sets. A set is composed of 3 of the same kind of unit or 1 of each (Wilds substitutes for any kind).
The number of units recieved for the set traded in is determined by how many sets have been traded in so far in the game. The formula is N+4, where N refers to the nth set (If you are turning in the third set, you recieve 7 reinforcement units).
If a player conquers another player, the conquerer reaps the defeated's cards. If by collecting a fallen opponents cards a player has 5 or more cards, a set must be turned in the following reinforcement phase.
Each turn of the game is comprised of four phases: Diplomacy, Reinforcement, Battles, and Tactical Moves.
The Diplomacy Phase
The Diplomacy Phase is the part of the game where players are able to strike alliances and other such deals that may be beneficial to them in the later phases of the game. Diplomacy can be conducted publicly or secretly between the players. The advantages and disadvantages of each option is fairly obvious. Backstabbing, breaking deals or other dishonourable actions are not against the rules of the game itself, but make the game much more exciting.
Because of the play-by-post nature of this medium of gameplay, I will not specifically declare the beginning and end of diplomacy phases. All can be done behind the scenes between players without the need for much moderation. At the beginning of each new turn, I will simply skip onto Reinforcement and carry on as if the Diplomacy phase has been carried out and is done with. I will however wait for players who let me know that deals are still being negotiated.
The Reinforcement Phase
The Reinforcement Phase is when I let each player know how many new units their army has generated, than wait for all players to submit their orders for the placement of these units. This is also done in secret and I will reveal an updated map reflecting the new troop strengths.
The number of reinforcement units is computed as follows:
([X + Y]/3) + Z *
X = Total number of territories held by player
Y = Number of territories comprising the player's largest connected empire
Z = Continent bonuses, Risk Cards
*When dividing by 3, drop the remainder.
Risk cards can also be turned in at this time (include these orders with your reinforcement orders). A player may never hold 5 or more Risk Cards after this phase, and a set must be turned in. Players may strategically choose to hold Risk Cards for later turns as long as s/he has less than 5.
Restrictions on Reinforcements --> You may only reinforce a territory by the number of owned adjacent territories plus the territory itself. (1 + Owned Adjacent Territories).
After the updated map with reinforcements is revealed, players can continue negotiations but also start thinking about the Battle Phase.
The Battle Phase
Attack orders are sent in secretly and simultaneously by each player after the updated reinforcement map has been presented. Orders should contain clear and obvious language that leaves no ambiguity of intent. Clearly point out:
1) From which territory you are attacking from,
2) With how many units,
3) And into which adjacent enemy territory.
Example:
To attack two different territories from Hawaii
Hawaii --> 4 Units --> Japan
Hawaii --> 5 Units --> W. United States
I don't care how the information is relayed to me, as long as it is clear and understandable. The above is just an example format.
Players may change their minds about attack orders. If you are sending new orders, please include all information. Even if you are adding or amending a minor detail, include all information as if the first orders were never sent. I will not try to mesh the two sets of orders together, I will only use the latest orders sent.
There are 5 different kinds of conflict that take priority and order of play:
1) Border Clashes
Head to head battles in which two armies are invading each other's territories.
2) Mass Invasions
Multiple army attacks against an army defending a single territory. If multiple armies are attacking a defender, each attacker individually deals the same amount of damage to that defender. In other words, if three armies are attacking a territory, and the number of casualties inflicted per roll is two (see “Casualties” below), then for each attacking army that defeats the defender, two casualties are dealt. For instance, if all three of the attackers defeat the defender, the defender suffers a loss of six units. If only one attacking army defeats the defender, the defender only suffers two casualties. If the defender rolls a higher number than all three attackers, then two casualties would be dealt to each of the three attacking armies, totaling six casualties.
3) Invasions
Single army attacks into the “back door” of a territory that has its occupying army either stationary or attacking away from the invading army into another territory. If the territory under attack is using any of its armies for an attack away from the invading army, those armies are not used to defend the territory, and the die rolled only reflects the number of armies that have stayed behind to defend.
4) Spoils of War
A fight between different players after a joint mass invasion. In other words, if the armies of separate players jointly attacked a third player’s territory and defeated him/her there, they then would have to battle each other to determine who gains control over that territory. All players involved roll as attackers, and all rules that apply for mass invasions (with multiple armies belonging to the same player) apply here. Whoever wins this battle then obtains the contested territory.
5) Surge Attacks
An army that has been ordered to charge through a single territory. If successful in that battle, the army then moves on to challenge a second hostile territory. During surge attacks, any further conflicts are resolved in the same order (i.e. surge border clashes, mass surge attacks, etc.). A player is allowed only one surge attack per turn.
During the course of a battle, often a player will not have as many armies as he/she anticipated, i.e. a border clash preceding an invasion or a pricey victory followed by a surge attack. If this happens, all available armies from the planned number go on with the attack (minus one which must stay behind and defend the newly conquered territory). So if a player planned on invading territory X from Y with 10 armies, but a victorious but costly border clash leaves him with only 4 armies, 3 continue on with their attack as the original 9 (minus the defender) were originally ordered to.
The Tactical Moves Phase
After all battles have been conducted, an updated map will be presented and players can than decide to use or not use this opportunity to move units.
Once all battles have been resolved, players are given the option of a tactical move. Players can transfer battalions from one and only one territory to any or all friendly neighboring territories. This can only be done from a territory linked to another by a border or dotted line. The receiving territory may only accept the same number of armies as it would under the reinforcement rules (see above). In other words, if a territory only has two neighboring friendly territories, it may only accept three armies during the tactical move phase―one for itself and one for each of the friendly neighboring territories.
Risk cards will also be awarded to players who have successfully conquered a territory during this phase.
This game will be using the same dice mechanic as seen in the computer version of Risk, Risk II.
There are 5 different flavors of dice, White, Yellow, Green, Red, and Black.
All of the dice are 12 sided, and each face contains a value between 1 and 6. The frequency of the face values differ between each die. The dW (white die) favors low numbers and the dB (black die) favors higher numbers.
dW (White Dice)
Faces 1-1-1-1-2-2-2-3-3-4-5-6
Average 2.6
Units 1 - 5
Casualties 1
dY (Yellow Dice)
Faces 1-1-2-2-2-2-3-3-4-4-5-6
Average 2.9
Units 6 - 10
Casualties 2
dG (Green Dice)
Faces 1-2-2-3-3-3-4-4-4-5-5-6
Average 3.5
Units 11 - 18
Casualties 3
dR (Red Dice)
Faces 1-2-3-3-4-4-5-5-5-5-6-6
Average 4.1
Units 19 - 30
Casualties 4
dB (Black Dice)
Faces 1-2-3-4-4-5-5-5-6-6-6-6
Average 4.5
Units 31+
Casualties 5
Resolving Conflicts
1) Assign each army involved a die based on each army's size and the casualty level of the conflict (1 - 5) is determined by the weakest die involved.
2) Each army rolls their die, high beats low (ties go to ATTACKER).
3) If the defender rolls higher than all of the attackers, each attacker loses units (based on casualty level).
4) If any of the attackers roll higher than the defender, only the defender loses units (based on casualty level) and none of the attackers suffer losses.
5) Battle concludes when either the attacking force or the defending force is defeated (reduced to zero).
6) If the attacking armies belong to different players, a Spoils of War conflict will be conducted to determine who takes ultimate ownership of the territory (only one army will survive).
Examples
1) 3 attacking forces are converging on a defending territory. All 4 forces are using white dice, so the casualty level is 1. Each attacker rolls less than the defender, each attacker loses one army.
2) 3 attacking forces, 2 are dY and 1 is dR. The defender is using a dG. The casualty level is 2 (determined by the lowest, in this case YELLOW). The defender beats one of the Yellow attackers, but loses to a Yellow and the Red. The defender loses 4 units (casualty level 2, 2+2=4). The attacker that rolled under the defender suffers no losses.
3) Armies from three attacking territories again converge on a defender, all rolling with white dice. All three attackers roll lower than the defender. The defending army takes no casualties and instead destroys one battalion from each of the three attacking armies (as determined by the casualty level, 1). Had all the forces involved been rolling with black dice, each of the attacking armies would lose 5 units.
Should an army suffer sufficient losses, the die color/type representing that army should correspond to the appropriate threshold. So if two armies of dB (black dice) were to duke it out, one or both them will go through each of the different tiers of dice.
Battles cannot be stopped, there are no retreats, such is the reality of playing by forum posts and simultaneous gameplay.

Round 0
As you can see, Zack and mgsmuhammad have 9 territories, while the others have 10. They will be compensated by beginning with 1 Risk Card.
Begin your private/public negotiations (or not), and PM me your deployment orders when you are ready.
Each of you began with 25 troops. I have already placed 1 troop in each of your beginning territories. So decide where you would like to place your remainder.
Zack - 16 troops to deploy
mgsmuhammad - 16 troops to deploy
Nictel - 15 troops to deploy
landlubber - 15 troops to deploy
civplayah - 15 troops to deploy
After the initial deployment of troops, I will reveal the new map and we will begin the first phase (Reinforcement) of Round 1.

Round 1 - Reinforcement Phase Field Report
Battle Phase
1) Please submit invasion orders in simple/straight-forward language. Identify the territory units are coming from, which territory the units are invading, and the number of units you are committing.
2) Remember that you can invade as many adjacent territories from a single territory as you want. But you can never leave a territory with less than one unit! You can also combine armies from more than one territory as a MASS INVASION!
3) Units are committed once an invasion has begun, there are no retreats, and there is no mercy
4) If you have any questions about rules, battle resolution or this phase, please feel free to ask. PM me, or if you feel a question/answer would benefit others, ask in the thread (if you feel I haven't explained something well enough, I could be overlooking something
