Riskal Fantasy - Week 7 - Your Guns Are Now Also Swords

THIS WEEK IN NEWS

THE NEBULAIC NEBULA



This may or may not be a picture. It could have been found maybe sometime in the past following what may or may not have been a military event that could have begun and ended at any time, and followed with victory or defeat.

oh vague deity we may or may not be slaughtered D:D

TERRITORY SPOTLIGHT
This week:

Beer & Tea, formerly the United Kingdom, is one of the territories that make up the British portion of Europe.

A long time ago, Beer & Tea ruled the world! The sun never set on the Beerandteaian Empire, they used to say. They didn't do so well after another empire tried to set itself up next door, though and people realized empires were not nice things to have. They are famous for:

Beer
Tea
Some things that marginally fit into either category through a process of extremely circular reasoning

And thus came to naming themselves as such!

What territory would you like to be in the spotlight?

GOTTA GO FAST

WEEK FIVE

It appears to be time for reinforcements- but wait, what's this!?



Yes, as some of you may know, we have some Risk cards here! Our good friend Chancellor Granolaman gets an additional 4 troops.

Wait hold on a minute...



Another one! Presidential Figurehead Coldblooded also has some cards and gains 4 troops.


The bigger the map...

Presidential Figurehead Coldblooded was up all night trying to run the country without help from his superiors. Still being awake for the message that new orders can be issued, he got on that first.



He immediately grabs the plans he cobbled together earlier.



...okay just one change



Better. Wow, being in charge means he can actually do that! He can change his mind! ...maybe he'll not do that too much though, just in case. Anyways, off they go!



Wait no stop the attack! Augh! Get those troops out of Greenland right away! This is not great.

Pollutionist Coalition has captured Hitleria!



It's time to plunder!



Captain Gnauga desires South America!



Perhaps he'll settle for merely fucking with Granolaman's shit.

Pirate Parties International has captured Vuvuzela, The Jungle, and Peruvia!



The order of business today is nation upkeep.



First off, all of the electronics are breaking and due to Shadowy Protocols, nobody is allowed to call outside of the controlled territories. Taking control of Customer Support will allow the nation to get the help they need in maintaining... everything.
From there, well, everybody likes sandwiches.



Hm. Well, the important thing is now everybody will have a working computer again.

The Nebulaic Collective has captured Customer Support!



beep boop oh fuck it.



Let's take out some humans.



These humans were bundled up and able to handle the cold fairly well, but they were still only human.

Robonia has captured Russian America!



Bit of a trek today.



The army will be marched all the way around Europe, taking over everything they pass by.



Unless they hit a roadblock of sorts. Made out of particle mines. Unfortunate. For now, she has somewhere to be.

ACoDaINZ has captured Chernobyl Jr, Hitleria, and Green Earth!



Once again!



Africa! All of it!



Okay. So that didn't go entirely well. That one soldier in Denial managed to take out half of the troops. Just when they were closing in on her, she got away. Oddly enough, the remaining troops found a bunch of dead soldiers when they took over. Whoever fought them off didn't seem to be allied. Black Hole posed no problem, but reports say that when being fought off from Quarantine, it was the same single soldier fighting them. Reports claim that the soldier was female and wore an odd blue hat, and she took a very personal delight in it, but nothing was conclusive.



Meanwhile, up in Greenland, the troops ordered to attack Norselvania wandered around a bit and got lost on their way. By the time they made it there, they somehow ended up behind the Pollutionists.



Perfect for a surprise attack. They never saw it coming. When told to continue the attack to the east, the soldiers mentioned there wasn't enough time and it was getting late. Seemed like they were afraid of something. Or someone.

The United Hobo Federation has captured Denial, Black Hole, and Norselvania!

After that turn, cards are worth 8 additional troops! Here's the map and the scores.




Central Mainframe Pinary - Robonia - 6 territories - 3 Reinforcements per turn
Bitch in Chief Schazer - The Anarchist Collective of Displaced and Irked No-Zealanders (ACoDaINZ) - 10 territories - 5 Reinforcements per turn

Presidential Figurehead Coldblooded - Pollutionist Coalition - 1 Territory - 3 Reinforcements per turn
Captain Gnauga - Pirate Parties International 6 territories - 3 Reinforcements per turn
