I think Wargear Warfare is much more pleasing to look at. But the main reason I give it this rating is because it changed the game in such a tiny way in Australia that it could really catch someone off guard. Either put "(with edited Australia)" in the title or description or revert that edit to the original.
It's like the classic game, except you might not notice that Australia has an extra entrance. That's fine, but I was playing and didn't notice. That may have cost me the game.
A good board, especially if you're looking for a standard RISK board. But there are better standard RISK boards on WarGear.net. This "War" board has an added connection from Asia to Australia. Also, the entire board looks a little washed out. It's probably my 3rd favorite standard RISK board. If you're looking for the BEST standard RISK board, try "WarGear Warfare." Another standard RISK board to try, and my 2nd favorite, is "Global Warfare."
