TripleA Windows, Mac, Linux, Linux64 game

Risk is on my TODO list, and I really want to play it on TripleA also. However, above it in my list is getting the rules for a new 1940 based map working, and that will probably take a few months.

That is an incredibly naïve opinion to hold. Take the battle of Montgisard for example: 375 templar knights, a thirteen year old king with advanced leprosy, and a few thousand infantry ran up against 26,000 strong oposition of which 1,100 were killed on the templar side compared to 23,000 on the side of the Muslims. Hell, if you really want to know about winning when you are immensely out-numbered, read War and Peace to learn (in great detail) the many battles between Napoleon's forces and the whole of Russia and how the far superior French forces limped home at the end of it.

It does not matter how many forces you have, when it comes to battle it is all about luck, planning, skill and perseverance; numbers and quality of your weapons is an afterthought…

Well the fact remain if Luck,skill and that should be in a game it should be in a RTS game not a board game since its Real Time Strategy not turn based (again my opinion), if you could build Veteran soldiers i wouldnt mind but to say oh you lost your 350 troops vs 50 because the enemy side was lucky 4 times in a raw will damage the fun in the game(Example).

Those 26,000 Muslim Soldiers led by Saladin who fought those Templars lost against the thirteen year old king was in fact that the templars are veterans/Elites and that Saladin and his generals thought it would be a pushover since the enemy had less troops and that a thirteen year old kid was leading them, they lost because of arrogance, bad strategy.
Napoléons army was way better then the russians and they lost several battles but the why did Napoléons army lose?
Well thats just because (no LUCK for Russia) the Winter arrived and the french didnt have the clothes to protect themselves if you almost freeze to death you cant fight.

War tactic- strategy, moral and knowing the area you fight in thats the standar tactic even tho you are outnumbered if you fight in a place you are familiar with and the enemy arent you will win easy. Also if Luck has a great part in war does that mean Hitler was Unlucky on D-Day WWII and the Allies were just lucky to take over the beach? since it was one of the worst and costly Tactics the allies ever did during the war.

(edit) forgot to mention still an awesome game :D

Actually, the end of a battle can be decided by soldiers as well as commanders, which is best symbolised by Luck.

Dice are dice, so occasionally that kind of thing will happen (and should happen if the dice are truly random). If you do not like having the occasional large variance of 'real' dice, then you can use the "Low Luck" option when playing.
Before starting a game, just click on "Game Options" then make sure "Low Luck" is selected. The engine will then use a different formula for calculating battle hits and casualties, and 8 tanks vs 4 tanks will always result in you winning with 6 tanks left over. (It works by adding up the powers of each unit, and then dividing by 6 to find the number of hits. You roll a single die for any remainder, if there is any.)

I uploaded the Rule Book as a standalone file. So you can download load it here on Desura as well. Just click on the game name under releases then select standalone files and you can download it that way.
