What are the odds of this happening?

I haven't played as much risk as most here. But what is the likelyhood of this happening.

I'm playing a 3 man game, and at the end of my 3rd round, I have complete control of Europe, Africa, and S. America, with strong armies along the boarders.

Here's a link. If you click on it and it's no longer the case, it means rounds have taken place since I posted this.

Maybe it's not that big of a deal, but I think, even in a 3 player game, that it's pretty hard to pull off.

did you just have a really lucky start?

sometime's that does happen, depending on your placement. Once I had SA, Asia, and Australia in the third or fourth round. It does require skill, though, along with some luck.

I had a good set up. I just loaded a bunch of men in europe, and S. America and on my second turn I was able to take control of both. Wasn't sure if both would hold up, but when my next turn was up, I still had both, and used my bonus to take africa, cause they both owned 2 each in africa, but there was only 1 army in the four countries, so it was an easy take. So I grabbed Middle East and at that point only had to defend 4 countries to protect all 3 bonuses. I think I might win on my next turn or 2. What's the fastest win at CC?

This is old so games could have been won quicker since then but it looks like 3 rounds for team games, 5 rounds for singles.
