Re: [risk] Multiple attacks

[Richard Rognlie <rrognlie@gamerz.net>]

Ah, but you see, when mph gets to iceland I won't be there...
we will eventually converge in greenland where I hope to pull
a defensive stand.  I desperate move, but...

And yes, when I eventually create a non-simultaneous version
of this game (whatever we wind up calling it)  It will support
the move risk-like notion of continued movement after a successful
attack.
