Yah...I think the first to grab Australia has a as good or if not a better chance than anybody. North America would be my second choice.
North America is hard to keep against experienced players unless you have a treaty with someone.
We found the fairest way to play for everyone is to determine the start order before you place the pieces. Starting 4-6 almost demands a conservative strategy, starting 1st or 2nd allows for more agressive play.
we never play with alliances. Well not never, people do break rules. But I think alliances fuck shit up. That's why I prefer to play online.
I prefered Axis and Allies

great game, once played for 20 hours straight.
its tough when there are 3 players because it can turn into and ever lasting stalemate.

I think I have seen more arguments and bad feeling between players pop up when playing this board game than any other with Monopoly being a distant second. Alliances are a big reason for that.
I haven't played in years, but I was always pretty bad at it. I'm not exactly a great military strategist.
I had the same problems, whilst I wasnt terrible, I wasnt very good either. But I havent played in years.
I like RISK.
There's a game called "Diplomacy" which is similar. We played it alot in an International Relations/Political Science class I took in college in '07. It's harder than RISK though because you have to make alliances, which you will have to ultimately betray, in order to grow your forces and win the game.

I have Risk, but I haven't played it in so long. meester, I'm not sure what the best area to conquer is, but the worst area to conquer and hold is Asia.
