If you do, please post it (or at least email it to me). Risk was one
of the first "wargames" that I played, and it still has a soft spot in
my heart (even though I never managed to win). You could even use a
Risk board for the campaign.

P. S. In light of the relatively recent discussion on Australian
troops, you all will probably enjoy knowing that the winners of our
Risk games were usually whoever captured Australia first. Since it's
in the corner and has only one pathway to another continent, it is very
easy to establish an effective powerbase there. Is this symbolic of
the real Australia? I will leave that discussion to others..... :)
