1st Legacy War

1st Legacy War
The 1st Legacy War, also known as the Formation War, was played on 01MAR13. To date it has involved more players than any other conflict on Planet 00017892. Prior to the war's beginning all five factions were given their first special ability and the initial 12 coins of the world were allocated at random.

Deployment
Having won the initial die roll, Andy chose to deploy in East Africa to capitalize on the South Central Continent's tremedious wealth. Martin chose nearby Russia as a base camp capable of challenging the South Central Continent. Eggo and JP opted for starting locations very near each other in the North West Continent with easy access to the North East Continent and South West Continent, respectively. Dana placed his head quarters in Western Australia in accordance with traditional Risk theory concerning the value of the South East Continent.

Conflict
JP and Eggo formed an uneasy, but relatively stable, alliance in which they agreed to split their home continent. This allowed JP to consolidate his control of the South West Continent and establish a bunker in Brazil. Eggo sortied east towards Martin and west towards Dana, but ultimately achieved very little. Martin and Andy battled back and forth for control of North Africa and Egypt while Martin secured the bulk of the North Central Continent. During the conflict Martin and Dana established bunkers in Russia and India, respectively. Ultimately, with all factions weakened from over spread, Andy was able to clear Martin's forces from the board, collect his resource cards and head quarters, thus winning the game.

Taking advantage of the bunker built by Martin, and Russia's proximity to the rich South Central Continent, Andy built the city of Stalingrad as his prize for winning. JP and Eggo, having left the North West Continent split by war's end, each built a minor city there, naming them Bajajajajaja and Jail Bait, respectively. Martin and Dana, left in weaker positions with less fruitful territory, chose to add wealth to the world, although where is now lost.
