#How do I Win More in Risk?

Practice makes perfect. Watching Risk videos or streams also helps
I would recommend a couple of things. 1st- ask yourself, how aggressive a player am I? If the answer is very, I see a lot of overly aggressive people attack themselves out of games early. You need to play Risk with a great deal of patience. If you play fixed, slowly (over a couple of rounds) consolidate your troops as you get ready to take and hold a bonus. If you play progressive, bonuses are a lot less important. Again, patience is the key, ideally just making a single attack until you are ready to defeat an opponent to take their cards (progressive) to ensure that when you set in, you recoup your lost troops. Generally, it’s best in either type of game to annoy as few opponents as possible as you play. Those are some general tips.
I play fixed, but it seems whoever gets Europe always wins.
Progressive is annoying for me lol
I always end up getting a small continent, and I last till the end of the game, but the person who has Europe ends up stacking the most troops, and I end up losing
Well, typically the players who get NA and Europe do have the advantage in classic fixed. If you take SA, you have to ensure that you have a stack large enough not to get removed from Asia to allow yourself to get cards. Africa is decent to start with, but you have to play nice with the player who has Europe. Oh, and just don’t go for Aus. It’s a losing position. If you end up taking Aus. You should be looking for a way to trade up continents ASAP.
BTW, I play mainly progressive. If you play progressive on the classic map, the game typically ends on/around round 8. The goal is to defeating your opponents so as to take enough cards each time to set in again to have enough to take out another player. You have to look ahead and plan ahead to do that with your early positioning.
I always take out the players flying middle eastern flags first, so:
no, you don't win a game! - unless you change that flag
