# Attacking an enemy

To attack an enemy, you must wait for your turn. When you receive the turn you can attack as many times as you want. To attack, you must select 2 countries: the source country (your country), and the destination country (your opponent country). The source country must have at least 2 armies, but there is no restriction on the quantity of the destination country. The source and destination countries must be frontier. Frontiers countries, are also considered, the ones that have lines that joins them.

When you attack, you throw 'n' dices, where 'n' is the number of armies that you have in your country minus one, but no more than 3. Your enemy will throw 'm' dices, where 'm' is the number of armies that he has in his country, but no more than 3. After that, the results of the dices are sorted in a descenig order.

The results are compared, the greatest result, with the greatest result, and so on. If the there is a draw, or if the destination's result is greater, then the source country must take one of his armies off, otherwise the destination country must take one of his armies off.

You will conquer the country if your opponent run out of armies. In that case you can move as much as 3 armies to the conquered country (from the source country)

Armies example:

- If you have 3 armies, and your opponent has 3 armies, you will throw 2 dices, and your opponent 3.

- If you have 5 armies, and your opponent has 2 armies, you will throw 3 dices, and your opponent 2.

- If you have 1 army, you cant attack

Dices example:

- If you get a: 6, 4, 2, and your opponent gets 6, 3, the result is: 6 vs. 6, and your opponent wins (you take away one of your armies), and the other is:4 vs. 3 , and you win (your opponent takes away one of his armies).

- If you get a: 4, 2, 2, and your opponent gets 3, 2, 1, the result is: 4 vs. 3, and you wins (your opponent has to take away one of his armies). The 2nd result is:2 vs. 2, and your opponent wins (so you have to take away one of your armies), and the last result is 2 vs. 1 and here you win, and your opponent has to take away one of his armies.
