Few mates of mine are keen to start playing some board games with a big strategy element, like risk and stuff... was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about different games we could try?

Nerdy and not a military strategy game, but the best strategic style game I 've played in years is Railways of the World. So cuthroat and fun, and every single person I've introduced it to (even non-boardgame types) have loved it and got addicted. Also, you can play with 2-6 players.
