That was great! I really liked the Grandmaster's strategies and his ability to explain, together with his modest attitude. I also appreciated the host's willingness to let his guest explain at length without interruption. Thanks!

This is a great video! Thanks for releasing this Legendary Tactics! To all watching, feel free to reply to this and ask me questions. I am always willing to help people out!

Great work! Olive is a key member, instructor, and player in the Risk community. He knows the game inside and out and I always trust what he has to say about game strategy. ❤

Great video. Ive played this game quite a bit since the early 80s and have never felt i had any sort of winning strategy. It used to be a lot easier to get people to play....i remember playing quite a bit up until around 2000. This video renewed my interest in this awesome game. Thanks

I'm top 10 for 1v1s in the world. But also am doing well in the ffa tourney. Olive is such a great inspiration.

I play risk online a lot, and a strategy can be to just play passively and wait. Especially when you’re not in a hurry. Take your time. Let other people lose their patience and let them attack each other. Key in this strategy is to be very helpful and friendly to other players, and don’t become too big. A small continent like africa, South-America or Australia is fine for this strategy.

If you're in a public game, try to not break other people. A huge percentage of the time, public games are decided by people suiciding into others rather then a strategic play. You want to be buddy buddy with the whole server to try and avoid being the suicider's target.

Funny thing, I recently played a game where every player secured their continent early on, except for me. Somehow I ended up with aisa, and convinced my friends that they should invade each other. They fell for it and I actually won!

"Nobody plays Asia"
If there's six players, someone has to. Playing Asia is just like playing Australia except you get no continent bonus.

I’ve always considered the “mutually assured destruction” tactic to be illegal. In Risk you have to always take whatever action is in your best interest. If you intentionally destroy yourself then you’re cheating. Revenge is against the rules.

[LegoFireball]

I think the defender has the advantage because they can only loose 2 troops every roll and ties go to them.

“Nobody plays Asia”

Hahaha yes this I’ve known to be true since roughly 1988 when I was 6 😎

Great video. However, you could have the best strategies in the world, but if your dice rolls are garbage, then you’re not gonna win anything. 👍🏾🇺🇸
