That makes four of us withing 45 mins of one another. I have 1940 Global and am looking to do that.
-
@natopotato My StepSon (turning 20 soon) would likely join in too, giving us 5 if needed.
-
Sounds Great, @BeetleDuck and @Justinrenna were talking about how best to meet up. but that is the last i heard.
-
I’m new to this whole board gaming community thing. Normally it is Risk or Poker night with family etc, i’ve flopped multiple times trying to teach AA to people. I think a neutral meet-up for our first game makes a lot of sense. Do game stores normally let us play there?
-
I do not have experience with this either. I just posted here last summer to see what happened and brainstorm about ideas.
Not sure how to get it rolling either -
I am fine meeting up anywhere you guys want to meet. Sorry, I could not reply earlier, my work IT organization has things locked down so tight I can’t even get to this site. I can only access “non work related” sites from home. I understand the need for this in a company of 66,000 employees worldwide.
I recently acquired A & A Pacific and Europe - both second edition. I am missing a few parts and I am going to complain to Amazon (where I bought the games) later this evening.
I also have a number of other very old Avalon HIll games. Midway, D-Day, 1914, Blitzkrieg, Afrika Korps, etc. If you have never heard of these, think little cardboard squares with symbols, text and numbers on them.

@natopotato I’m still here
-
@BeetleDuck I’m trying to get a group going too. My issue is meeting at a strangers house. My mommy told me not to do that😆 Honestly, I’m sure we are all straight. A monthly group would be chill.
-
Yes, meeting in total strangers house is still sketchy.
-
@Justinrenna There is a place in Barclay pavilion on route 70 that seems to have a big space with a bunch of tables for board gamers… going to call them to see how much it would be for us to play there. I figure it would make sense to do that until we get to know one another. If my wife brought her book club weirdos to our house the first time without vetting them I would have a problem 😂😂
-
I am still of the opionion that we could set up our boards and do turn by turn on here. we just have to figure out something for the dice rolls and battles.
-
I think a good next step to start corralling everyone and taking some action towards our first game, is to organize a private group for players in our local area. Im usually good at organizing people to do fun things, and Facebook groups have always been a great tool for me. It puts a “face” to everyone and see who is ready to take action and sign on for a game. I’ve created a group… please join at the following link!
-
I will need to make a facebook for this then. I deleted social media about 8 years ago.
-
I just joined the group. I rarely do anything on Facebook other than look at stuff my wife and kids post.
-
@BeetleDuck That’s Facebook at its best!
-
@natopotato I think we are all looking for people to get together with. We could all play online. But I want to get together with people. A&A to me is not just the game it’s self. It’s getting together having a few beers, sharing a hobby.
