Thomas, As to the reasons you gave for not wanting to take on another task at the current time, fully understood. I don't expect anyone to drop current projects or hop to my command (nice though that might be, it's horribly unrealistic). However, I haven't seen much discussion of such conversions in other places, and thought to myself, if no one knows there is a need, there's no reason to pursue it.
As to getting you a copy of the manual and cards, I'll do my best. It's possible there is a copy of the manual online, I know I have found such before. I'll look. As to the cards, the main country cards are the first and foremost key, mission cards are a variation, not part of the original classic game. That said, I have copies of those andthey're brailled. I'll just have to dig them out of the closet they're in. As to spin-offs of the game, I'd be fully supportive of these. I think once a classic engine was put into place, it would be relatively easy to mod it to accept a number of other board configurations and/or pieces. Lastly, I don't necessarily feel that Risk is the key factor here. I'd be ok with a game called Conquer the Kingdom that has 42 territories that hook up in odd ways and that allow you to play the same mechanics in a different environment. My main point was that, when game conversions are tried,they are generally different games. Several people have pointed out to me some of the difficulties involved with Risk or similar games, primarily with making computer opponents interesting enough to present an average challenge. I accept that limitation, but if we can get something basic in the mix, then improvement can come afterward. So, please, anyone who did so, do not take the presentation as a demand: it was a notification of a desire. I'll have a hunt for the manual, and the cards I can list from memory. I'll have to double check the appropriate picture on each, but other than that I can provide it. I could also provide a designer with how the countries border etc. Take care, Jeremy -- In the fight between you and the world--back the world!
