The Perfect Australian Turtle Play? - Risk Classic

[@buddhastl7120]

Respect for uploading. Rare to see Pete dumbfounded (respectfully) in an end game.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I think it was an ok move to make at that point. Really blindsided me. With the dice it upgraded from an ok move to an amazing move.

[@Kryogenikz15]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy Agreed. With that good of a roll, it leaves him in the lead with a set, and then a follow up set possibly the next two turns. I'm quite surprised he's only an Expert. He's probably Master but gets screwed by the ranking system. I think he and Green should switch ranks and that's what I would've expected.

[@buddhastl7120]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy good point. Thanks for uploading it.

[@DaTimmeh]

​@@Kryogenikz15Idk, feels too risky of a play for too much higher of rank. That play will get you 3rd a good handful of times. With average attackers bonus, hes looking at 60-70 troops. Maybe 80, but thats already above average I think. Puts him behind red either way. I also think low master isn't much different from high expert tbf tho. Mid to high master is it's own class, then grandmaster. And then top players are probably in their own class as well.

[@akki40000]

@@DaTimmeh I think at this point if you know how to evaluate player, he know the 2 others are not good enough to get back on him. He took off the biggest thread without taking too much risk. Even if he would be a little bit under the 2 others he would still outskill them.

[@battlebotsreviewer9812]

WOW what a great play by blue. Did not see that one coming

[@mp4Junkie]

Wish I could see the rest of the game play out. That was a crazy play by blue

[@stephenhoover5550]

He got REALLY lucky dice on that 80. Jeeez. 40 - nearly 50 troop lead to 110 lead from that move

[@jakesibbit9340]

I was baffled by that outcome, honestly the fact blue "risked" it is what I was shocked about.

[@driftingbout297]

it's even crazy how he still somehow outlead red to i think by 20+ troops I wouldve never guessed that would've happen wow

[@joefisher3950]

Respect for that Blue player. I was watching Pete the whole time and never thought “The Kill Pete Strategy” would win you the game. That will definitely have to improve my gameplay.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

All you need is blue's dice and you too can win games

[@wampleek]

Thank you so much for sharing this game even though you got fourth. I think you’re right that blue really seized the moment in that one. Of course I don’t know the result, but I would assume he won. Beautiful game.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

With those dice he better!

[@varger747]

31:30 Hi Pete, gg. I'm the White player. For context on this game, I started out with territories on all 6 continents, totaling 2-4 sum armies in each. When this happens, I often wind up getting stuck with the "Itinerant Stack in Asia" strategy. Love that term. It also gives me a sort of pass to try and be a Chaos Monkey to see if I can run around playing the speed bag on donkey nuts to see how they react. Unfortunately it's often me that gets donkey (a$$) kicked as a result I realized that Red was the donkey player early (just a noob player, but irrational play still irrationally riles me up), when he zapped my 4 stack in Europe without giving me enough time to get them out of there. I figured if we corralled the donkey, (card blocked) he would be one of these players that refuses to go a round without getting a card, no matter how much it hurts him. If you spend more than about 3 armies to get a card, you are generally overpaying, especially when you get that overbought card at the expense of ruining an opponent's bonus, thus kicking off a war. I put my 60 stack on Greenland hoping that you (Purple) would close that last gate in the corral and put a sizeable stack in Afghanistan. Red Donkey being a donkey, I hoped he would demand to get his card no matter what and blast one of Blue's fat (but lower than our) stacks. Bonus if he gets the card at the expense of Africa. Then its grab the popcorn and smugly quote Petr Baelish's "chaos is a ladder." I felt ok speed bagging blue a little on this because he was too far away to really counter attack effectively. But, probably wisely, given that there is no guarantee where a donkey will kick, you didn't close the corral. Another great quote: "He's tried nothing and he's out of ideas." This was pretty much on the money. I had 4 opponents sitting on bonuses and was locked in an NA cage with a rabid bot. But..... if there's anything I can do to make a game interesting when I'm basically a board wraith I will just sit tight and see what develops. You have it right that I tried to convince green to get a stack out in asia so that I could take NA, and you very quickly countered that. Early in the game you mentioned you wanted to get that green stack in asia out of there before it got any bigger, and had green taken up my offer and gotten a stack out there, you probably would have felt the need to zap it at higher cost (Chaos Monkey!) And then the final quote while I was alive from the Grand Master schooling the stripling: "Lets just help red along here. Sorry White. You die. I think you die now." Lots of praise from you too, which I appreciate! I was a good player who made a bad play, and that bad play was expecting rationality from Red Donkey, who lost 46 armies taking a 60 stack without even the hope of a measly 5 cards as a reward. Me emoting a collaborating zombie bot is as close as I can get to a hee hawing donkey emote. Anyways stumbling on your videos got me interested in Risk again, which many people dismiss as being having about as much strategy as tic tac toe. This is not the case if at least one player plays irrationally, which almost always happens.

[@DreamApostle128]

It's fixed there is absolutely no reason to hit a 12-20 for a +10 or maybe even a +4...

[@gothia1715]

First i thought that Blue is that ultra boring kind of passive player who just tries to out passive everybody. But nope, he strikes at the exactly right time at his biggest threat while Red keeps on ruining both himself and Green. At the end Blue still had a slight lead but wasnt involved in their war. Great play and great reaction to this by Pete. 52:20 But that 65 vs 181 was really lucky for Blue tbh.

[@PetrolPatrol]

Always maks me laugh when Reginald gets thudded to the floor XD

[@bartstanley9678]

You were stunned? Whoa! I was stunned! That was one of the greatest, most unexpected plays by an opposing player that I have ever witnessed in the over hundreds of games of yours that I have had the pleasure of watching! 😮 It was like watching a shark waiting to eat a barracuda after the barracuda had lunch, only the lunch turned out to be the shark eaten by the barracuda. 🦈

[@greghess8896]

Pete, at 24:25 I would have thought it would have been a good time to go from China -> Mongolia -> Kamchaka -> Alaska, then forty all troops to Alaska to start upgrading the AUS to North Am. play. Why would that not have been a good strategy? That would allow White to become the AUS player.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

In this scenario where does Green get their cards? This move gives up aus and starts a war with Green I think.

[@greghess8896]

And thats why you are a top player and I'm not. :D Thanks for the feedback!@@TheKillPeteStrategy

[@ewallt]

That was a great play by Blue at the end. Perfect timing. Took out the best player, and remained with as many troops as the bad red player, and more than Green, so I presume he won.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Yeah man he got the best dice in history!

The dice roll dictated the effectiveness of the blue move at the end. Bad dice would have meant self destruction, as it was it, blue got great dice.

He got amazing dice. It's ridiculous

[@TheAlmightyWiggy]

I had a similar finish a few months back that I still remember to this day, myself and another player had set up deadliest trap and the Australia player botted after my turn and the other player killed me first instead of the bot to secure the win. I was stunned when it happened but it was a very good play.

[@naterosendahl9071]

Wow! As passive as Blue was I did NOT see that coming. Although once he started blocking Pete from getting a territory bonus I suspected he might target that 19 in India at some point. It really worked out for him bc of those dice too! Still had the lead, sets, & only player left with a protected bonus. Insane opportune play by Blue & even more insane luck on the dice. I'm just as shocked as Pete. Pete I think you played Aus as well as possible there to try to set yourself up for as even of a 1v1 as you could get. Apparently Blue saw that too. Even Green showed incredible restraint trying every option to not have to slam Red. Great great game all around....well except from Red. 😂
