    The analogy works in other places: in sports, defensive teams succeed way more often than high flying offensive teams

    True. In RISK, the defender has the advantage as well. Even if the attacker rolls 2 sixes, the defender can still win by matching the roll. The attacker does have the option of using three dice though, assuring at least 1 kill per throw.
