Some time back, there was a Risk clone using Google maps which was interesting, but taken offline due to a legal letter. Well, I have had a long interest in strategy games.... (Risk/Axis&Allies and variants as well as the civilization/freeciv variety and Age of Empires/etc....) Anyway... saw this last week... Online strategy game using Google Maps. Upon visiting, I found out the site has moved under heavy load to a new location.... Here's the new site gmworldwar.com. I don't know, I'm not terribly eager to strategize world war right now - it seems a bit too much like reality seem to be shaping up for right now... Anyway - it's called Endgame and uses Google Maps as the back end. It's currently limited to beta testers due to high demand so, the general public will have to wait.
