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

THIS WEEK IN NEWS

None of the nations have anything in the news this week.

TERRITORY SPOTLIGHT
This week:

Yellow Comet
Competition in the video game industry had always been fierce. Over the years, it escalated from attack ads, to lobbying attempts to cripple the competition, and then in the summer of 2021, the head offices of Square-Enix were bombed. Electronic Arts quickly denied any responsibility for the attack, a move that only drew suspicion to them because they denied it before the rumors of their involvement had really taken off.

The next several years saw an increase in terrorist attacks against gaming companies, until finally, in 2029, Nintendo of Japan's then-CEO was elected as Prime Minister of Japan, and subsequently declared war on all other gaming companies.

The brutal war waged across the globe, until finally, in 2032, Intelligent Systems, frustrated with poor leadership decisions, revolted against Nintendo and overthrew the Japanese government and signed a treaty ending the Gaming Wars. They proceeded to rename the nation Yellow Comet, and redesigned the military to match the units from their infamous Famicom Wars series - better known as Advance Wars in the West.

It's been rumored that they subsequently started a cloning program to create the Yellow Comet COs, but all officials deny this vehemently. What is known is that attempts to take the country by military force have often failed, with the invaders frequently going to excessive lengths to attack Yellow Comet's troop transports and supply trucks, and ignoring the huge tanks and rocket launchers covering them.

What territory would you like to be in the spotlight?

GOTTA GO FAST

WEEK FOUR

We have some cards and the resulting reinforcements.



Both AgentBlue...



...and Schazer, have present some Risk cards here. Meaning they each get 8 reinforcements!


Barkeep, I'd like to order a large[sic].

...hold on, something's missing here.



So. Um. The Pollutionist shadow government wasn't dead. And, uh, they weren't happy. Now, he had just negotiated a trade of The French Part to Pirate Parties International in exchange for some extra soldiers. Those soldiers, were not in fact soldiers. They were some vaguely familiar shadowy people that had gone missing some weeks back. Who had noticed that there wasn't anywhere to put those promised 'troops'.

It's said that Coldblooded is now on a mission to reconfigure the Pirate's ships to emit more pollution, but these rumors are completely unfounded, we assure you.


Chancellor Granolaman is up first this week! Let the hobos roll on!



So he had to spend most of the treasury, but that supersoldier in Madagascar is going to go down, now that the hobos in Black Hole are armed with pointy bindles.



ATTA...ck. There's... nobody there. No supersoldier, and no regular troops to take her place.

Victory?



Oh yeah, the troops in Norselvania have recomposed themselves and are willing to mount an attack against Chernobyl Jr.



It goes reasonably well.

The United Hobo Federation has captured Madagascar and Chernobyl Jr!
THE UNITED HOBO FEDERATIONS HAS CONQUERED AFRICA



Captain Gnauga has recently come into possession of a territory thanks to a completely legitimate and fair deal.



So how about another?



A whole continent? How flattering, you shouldn't have.

Pirate Parties International has captured Uncharted Territory!
PIRATE PARTIES INTERNATIONAL HAS CONQUERED SOUTH AMERICA




Long day ahead of the Nebulaic army.



Warm up first with a two territory rush.



The damndest thing happened in American Oil Storage. There was one lady there with a funny looking hat, and she just slaughtered the two attacking troops! Serious passion in her eyes. Somebody should try to figure out who she is, but if she's on the side of the No Zealanders, it's a good thing she's not where the real prize is located.



Australia is just right there. Just gotta take the border and then storm the place ACoDaINZ probably calls home. Honestly, there wasn't a lot of research done.



The troops stationed in Some Islands put up one hell of a fight. For every ACoDaINZ soldier taken down, a Nebulaic soldier was taken down in kind. Eventually they got a few lucky hits in and took down the rest, and by the time Outback Steakhouse was captured, there was one troop remaining. Still, that's half the job done!

The Nebulaic Collective has captured The Australian Border, Some Islands, Outback Steakhouse, and Ham on Rye!



Central Mainframe Pinary is engaged in sleep mode, and the nobody can find the mouse to jiggle it. That'll take a while.



NOW AS PREVIOUSLY STATED!



Europe!



Bam! Now off to one of the many great pubs in Beer & Tea!

ACoDaINZ has captured Beer & Tea, Greenland, Norselvania, and Chernobyl Jr!
ACoDaINZ HAS CONQUERED EUROPE


Cards are now worth 15 points! Here's where we stand!




Central Mainframe Pinary - Robonia - 5 territories - 3 Reinforcements per turn
Bitch in Chief Schazer - The Anarchist Collective of Displaced and Irked No-Zealanders (ACoDaINZ) - 10 territories - 8 Reinforcements per turn
Chancellor Granolaman - The United Hobo Federation - 6 territories - 6 Reinforcements per turn
Captain Gnauga - Pirate Parties International 8 territories - 5 Reinforcements per turn
Alleged President AgentBlue - Nebulaic Collective 13 territories - 4 Reinforcements per turn

Presidential Figurehead Coldblooded - Pollutionist Coalition - 0 Territories - GAME OVER

Let's get some week 7 actions in.
