RISK/CHOPPER STRIKE
Possibly the most popular, mass market war game. The goal is conquest of the world.
Each player’s turn consists of:
– gaining reinforcements through number of territories held, control of every territory on each continent, and turning sets of bonus cards.
– Attacking other players using a simple combat rule of comparing the highest dice rolled for each side. Players may attack as often as desired. If one enemy territory is successfully taken, the player is awarded with a bonus card.
– Moving a group of armies to another adjacent territory.
I had to put Chopper Strike too. It was my first real battle and strategy game and Im still on the hunt for this game today.
In this game, each player manoeuvres a fleet of helicopters and a fleet of jeeps (equipped with AA guns), trying to gain air or ground superiority. That is to say, you win by wiping out all of your opponent’s choppers or all of his jeeps.
A d3 indicates how many pieces you will move, and a d6 how far each one will move. Choppers move on the elevated “air” board, whilst jeeps stick to the ground. Terrain obstacles complicate matters for the jeeps at the players’ “border”. Choppers take choppers out by jumping over them (à la checkers); they can also take jeeps out by bombing them (stopping right above them). Jeeps take jeeps out by landing on them; they can also take choppers out using their AA guns (stopping right below them).
