In this phase, you will receive new troops to deploy in your territories.

RECEIVING NEW TROOPS
You will receive a number of fresh Troops equal to the number of territories you control divided by three (with a minimum of 3 Troops). To that amount, you receive bonus Troops equal to the value of the RISK Card set you have traded-in (see below) and the value of the Continents you control (if any). The value of the Continents are:

- North America = 5 bonus Troops
- South America = 2 bonus Troops
- Europe = 5 bonus Troops
- Africa = 3 bonus Troops
- Asia = 7 bonus Troops
- Australia = 2 bonus Troops

 Your new recruits will pile-up in the troop box, on the lower left corner of the screen. The card above will inform you of the exact number of troops you have available.

 DEPLOYING TROOPSYou can deploy your troops in several ways:

You can drag a soldier playing piece from the troop box into a legal territory. A legal territory will be highlighted on the map and will start pulsing when you start moving the soldier playing piece. Drop the soldier into the desired territory and it will add 1 troop. You can either drag additional soldiers or use the wheel at the bottom of the screen to adjust the number of soldiers you wish to deploy there. When you're done, either use the validate button near the wheel or start another action.

You can also deploy troops by clicking on the highlighted territory you wish to add troops to. This will not automatically add a troop. The wheel will appear so that you can adjust the amount of troops you want to add. When you're done, either use the validate check button near the wheel or start another action.

You can also perform a pinch movement over the troop box to clump all soldier tokens into one. Deploy that one playing piece by dragging it your designated territory.

Should you want to move already deployed troops from one territory to another, simply drag the soldier playing piece from the origin territory to the target territory.  One troop will automatically be moved. The wheel will not appear: if you want to move more than a single troop, you'll have to drag them individually.

You can revisit territories to adjust the exact number of troops at any time during the phase.

All new Troops must be deployed before you can move on to the Attack phase.

TRADING-IN RISK CARD SETS
At any point during the Draft Phase, you can trade-in sets of RISK cards for extra troops. You can see the number of cards that you hold on the card button. Click that button to open the card screen so you can interact with them.

If you have a set to trade-in, the game will move it automatically to the trade box and tell you how many bonus troops it is worth.

These cards can form sets of 3 cards with the same symbol (all soldiers, all tanks or all planes) or 3 cards each with a different symbol (soldier, tank and plane). Wild cards display all three symbols; these can be used as any symbol for the purpose of making a card set. The exact value of a card set depends on the cards rules used (see below). You can trade-in a card set as soon as you have a legal set, or you can opt to wait. If you accumulate 5 cards or more, you will be forced to trade-in sets until you have 4 cards or less.

PROGRESSIVE VALUE CARD RULE
The card sets have an increasing value:

- The first set traded-in by any player is worth 4 Troops
- The second set is worth 6 Troops
- The third set is worth 8 Troops
- The fourth set is worth 10 Troops
- The fifth set is worth 15 Troops

All subsequent sets are worth 5 more Troops until it reaches a maximum of 60 Troops.

FIXED VALUE CARD RULE
Every combination of cards has a value that will not change during the course of the game:

- 3 Soldiers are worth 4 Troops
- 3 Tanks are worth 6 Troops
- 3 Planes are worth 8 Troops
- One of each are worth 10 Troops
