Do you play board games about war?

Do you play board games about war?

Let's discuss playing soldiers by throwing dice! Do i see someone who plays Chess? Or Risk?
I like both. Risk is 100% strategy and all battles are led by throwing dice, but it's fun. I like possessing Europe or North America, but they are so hard to keep... What about you?

Risk is good, but I prefer Axis & Allies as there seems to be a lot more actually strategy involved rather than just luck.

I think that in Risk there is NO tactics and it's ALL strategy, having in mind how players fight for territories (all dice - no morale, no formations, just a slight advantage in offence + luck).
You can add the Attack! application in Facebook and play Risk, Chris. I don't know how Hasbro still haven't bothered about copyrights, having in mind that Attack! is 1:1 digitalized Risk.

I like Risk 2210 AD better than just Risk. Never Played Axis and Allies. I also vaguely remember another game.... I think it was Castle Risk. Only played it once and it was over a decade ago, but it was fun.

How about Stratego? Anyone played it?

I'm not a big fan of Risk 2210 AD, but I have played Stratego, and even though I'm not very good, it is fun.
