What type of game do I start if I want classic rules?
Especially the rule where if an attacking army conquers a territory they can't attack until next turn.

I've never heard of the attacking armies rule but I think the classic rules are seq/esc/unlimited fort.

ahhh maybe it was just a house rule we made up so that someone who gets a bunch of cards can't run through and take over the entire map with a few good rolls.
It made the games longer but they seemed to be more balanced.

Maybe you're right, but I always played Seq/Esc/Chained before I came to CC.

This is/was the same for my copy/version/whatever of the boardgame too. Different versions may exist but idk.

This is the official rules according to the instructions of risk, but you are also allowed to place your own armies which is why unlimited is so popular on CC, because of the different set up. I always played with the house rule of seq/esc/chained though.
Flat rate isn't even mentioned as a game optiion in the actual board game. Unlimited is.

The rule book says it's chained but whatever.

No it doesn't. It says that is an alternate ruling I should take a picture of the book.

I always played Seq/Esc/Unl but I suspect that may not be right

Now that we have half a dozen different "classic rules" my point has been proven: There are no classic rules.

My risk set has a flat rate option (with soldiers, horses and tanks on the cards) and an esc option.
I have always played seq/esc/chained though

the rules on the board game have changed many times. it originally was esc/seq/adj, and then went to esc/seq/chained, and then it began incorporating flat rate options in there in the mid80's i think. but it also depends on what country you live in, as to what version is released there. but the newest games released now are all esc/seq/chained. as far as i know anyway.

The only real Risk set I've played (an ancient British one) had the ruleset Seq/Flat/Adjacent.
