it's not about how many continent's can attack you its about how many boarders there are, so if you were going for Australia and I north America and a third player south America or Africa I'm getting more menthe both of you
This may win for the most typos in a DDF post.
And you're not going to get anything as the first play in Risk is to break up whole continents at their weakest point. Australia has no weak point. Not going to debate this anymore, go ahead and try it for yourself. I too used to be a North America guy. Once you go down under you'll never go back. But it also ruined the game until we made the house rule.
