In an effort to get a little away from the political posts and a little closer to military and strategy, what is your favorite strategy in the game of Risk?

I tend to base in Australia and expand from there.

It depends. If you are playing against me, you should start in Europe.

I think it depends on how you choose to start the game. I prefer the "random card" method as it prevents the obvious securing of Australia and South America for the quick units in the beginning. However, my strategy is always to:
A) Win one battle per turn (so you get your reinforcement card)
B) Take and hold continents that makes sense - Australia, S. America are easy. Africa next, then Europe and N America. Asia is a sinkhole for suckers.
C) Don't get too spread out. Halt your attack when you still have units to defend with.

To excel in this classic board game of tactical conquest, a combination of strategic thought and flexibility is required. It is critical to begin by securing a continent to serve as a stronghold—Australia is a common choice due to its defensibility and additional reinforcement.
