Attacking Over a Wall#
The Qing Dynasty map is the only Risk map to feature a unique mechanic: walls. When you attack a territory over a wall, the defending player receives a +1 maximum defender die, meaning they may roll up to three dice even if they only have one troop.
This mechanic stacks with Capitals mode, allowing up to four defender dice if you're attacking a capital over a wall.
Strategic Implications#
- Avoid attacking over walls when possible — even a small defending stack becomes dangerous.
- Use the wall for defense — positioning your troops behind the wall can create a natural choke point.
- Check attack direction — the wall effect only triggers when attacking over the wall, not in both directions.
Example:#
If you're attacking from a territory south of the wall into a northern territory (across the Great Wall), the defender will roll an extra die. Defending from the north? You're safe.
This small mechanic can swing the outcome of fights and should always be factored into your positioning and pathing plans.
