Risk strategy for ranking out

[edfshr]

I seems to me that the fastest way to rank out in Risk is to be the mouse that roared. Let the game randomly assign territories and then start the most hopeless battles possible, leaving your armies in the weakest possible position so that the opposition will walk all over your territories. You get a lot of fifth place finishes but just look at those rank badges roll in.

Or did I miss something?

You did not miss anything.

And never reinforce in a way that achieves the upper hand.

It all reminds me of the way Italy and Austria Hungary fought in WW I.
