Risk reinforcements: replacement Risk game pieces are needed!
I hope you can help me. My 10 year old and I are all set to play Risk, but we're getting hung up on a very basic question before we even begin:
WHERE do we draw reinforcements from to start the game? I can't understand how a player can get reinforcements on his or her very first turn if we've used all the infantry pieces for the initial setup. Are we supposed to use cavalry and cannons? Should we use infantry from other colors?
SO confused, and hope you can help!
Editor's note: It sounds as if you have run out of pieces. The bank is supposed to have plenty to supply the game with singles. Horses are worth five and cannons ten, so you can exchange these for singles.
Alternatively, source yourself some more Risk game pieces.
