GE'lT'WG AND PLACING ~~IES
At the beginning of each turn, calculatehowmanynewarmiesyou'll add
to your territories based on ...
1. Thenumber of territoriesyou occupy
2. Thevalue of the continentsyou control;
3. Thevalue of the matched sets of RISK cards you tradein;
4. Thespecificterritory pictured onatraded-in card
Tenrimria. At thebeginningof every turn (includingyour first),countthe
numberof territoriesyou currentlyoccupy, then dividethe totalby three
(ignoreanyfraction).The answeris thenumberof armiesyou receive. Place
the newarmiesonanyterritoryyou alreadyoccupy.
Example: 11 territories = 3 armies
14territories
= $armies
17 temtories = 5 armies
You will alkysreceive atleast 3 armieson aturn, even if you occupyfewer
than
9 temtories.
Continents. Inaddition,atthebeginning of your turnyou will receive
armiesforeachcontinentyou control. (To controla continent,you must
occupy
all itsterritoriesatthe startof your turn.)To findthe exactnumber
of armiesyou'll receivefor eachcontinent,lookatthe chart inthe lower
left-handcomerof the gameboard.
