@barnee Thank you very much for the kind regards! Yes, as you joked, we Afrikaners are a pretty conservative lot! I am very very fortunate to have such an amazing and beautiful wife. In fact, as it is my birthday, she has pre-ordered me A&A North Africa! Baie lekker!

@djensen NoLimit from Chicago, been playing since '86
of the CLASSIC game of course! Then when the Original Pacific and Europe version came out, me and my brother played it for a while but eventually stopped because it was Too Axis favored and then eventually got rid of it! Eventually bought the D-DAY+Guadalcanal version but quickly got bored with it because it didnāt feel like an A&A game and got rid of them+didnāt either bother wasting my money on buying the BATTLE OF THE BULGE version! Then the Revised version came and we played that to death but still enjoyed it (despite the ugly map) until Anniversary came out and played that like crazy! Didnāt get into the G40 game until 2016 because we were playing the War Game WW2 from Pegasus Hobbies which had a Huge map and so didnāt want to justify paying a lot of Mula for the G40 after spending a Lotta money for said Wargame and we were still having fun warring with it! Eventually my brother stopped playing and that Wargame map got Warped because I didnāt store it away right while it was collecting dust, then over on eBay both the G40 maps were being sold for 25 bucks along with itās amenities although it didnāt come with the playing pieces! After buying it we started playing again but then my brother started losing interest playing it due to having a girlfriend that he rather spend most of his time with! For a couple of years I didnāt have anybody to play the game with and so was forced to playing it Solo even though it wasnāt as fun as against my brother! Eventually I finally got a phone with WiFi capabilities and then got hooked on watching YouTube videos featuring the many versions of the game, after a few months of that I made my own YouTube channel and after a while I started playing YouTube Wars with others on the many versions of the game! Didnāt get into the 42.2 game until a couple of years ago because I didnāt think it be fun to play like the Anniversary Game, but somebody gifted me his spare game and now I love playing that version just as much! Since my brother got married he didnāt want to spend anytime with playing the game with me, so nowadays I play All my games over the YouTube with so many players in the A&A community and I posted over 300 videos of my turn of the YouTube Wars which is still going strong! Even before the Virus Hit, I still canāt find anybody to play A&A with face to face despite living in such a Big City and so thank goodness for the YouTube A&A community!!! -
@Nolimit WELCOME!!!

welcome,nolimit
There are several good solar war games too.
Hitler;s Reich is good ww2 in Europe war on a grand scale -
I mean solo games not solar.

Hi everyone. I live in northern California and I have always loved a&a. I started playing in the 80s with classic and still play to this day. We had a large group of friends that would play, but now I have only 2 go to friends for this game. I use to play a lot but now only average 2-3 games a year. I consider myself an expert at this version. We have tried a couple of the other games Europe, DDay, 1942 but we always revert back to the original.
Its nice to see this game has thrived over the years and expanded. I wish baseball got this much enthusiasm. Other interests include brewing, home repair, and running.
What a year. Hopefully this COVID virus gets kicked to the curb soon and we can all have face-to-face games in the future. Please post upcoming tourneys or conventions. You never know, we could meet in the future

@Nubnumber1 Noticed you didnāt mention the Anniversary or the Global 1940 version, have you played them before?
-
@Nubnumber1 Welcome!!!
Classic. I am curious; do you play with a bid or OOB?
-
@AndrewAAGamer Hi Andrew. OOB we play without Russia restricted too. I can win with both axis and allies. We never play with a bid
-
@Nolimit The answer is no to both. Isnāt the anniversary like 500?
-
@Nubnumber1 If you mean Anniversary is 50/50 concerning win-loss ratio between the 2 sides, then no- itās Axis favored, like to play you over the YouTube someday to prove Classic is Too Allied favored even with the Russian restricted rule! Hard to believe you havenāt played Anniversary or G40, theyāre both a whole lot more better games than Classic although I still like to play it at times!!!

Thanks! Playing Russia Restricted helps the Axis a little bit but I would assume the Allies are still slightly favored. Back in the day when I played Classic a lot we got up to $21-$22 bids. If I remember correctly, and I donāt think I do, I think Russia Restricted took that down to around $10 or soā¦
-
@Nolimit lol No, I meant didnāt the anniverary board game cost $500. I am kind of a cheap bastard.
As far as a classic game goes, that sounds like fun. Although, I am not sure how a you tube game would work. I have never done it before. Let me know how that would work and we could set something up.

-
@AndrewAAGamer A bit slower perhaps but not really complicated, some players donāt have Computers and Triple A isnāt compatible with phones or tablets generally-A big plus for YouTube Wars is that you can share your game+fun visually with the community and can you exchange comments+even Network with the viewers!!!

Ahh, cool, thanks for explaining the benefits to me.

Hi everyone.
I am a new wargamer from Canada. I have played Axis & Allies only three times. I would like to play more often but itās hard to find players and now, because of covid-19 itās worst.
So right now, in the middle of this pandemic, I am trying to see if there is a way to play Axis & Allies solo. I am also interested in learning about solo hex and counters wargames.
Have a great day!
