Have fun gaming !
@Johnnukacola WELCOME! A lifetime of gaming fun awaits you. Good Luck!
@andrewaagamer
welcome.
The nice thing about axis and allies is the model soldiers and plane. ships, weapons that add an interesting component to the game. Cardboard chits seem to lose something.
My name is Wilson and I just got 1940 axis and allies for Christmas. I’m finding it hard to get people to play with me so I am out looking for game players. Is there a place in the Baltimore Washington area that people play?
@wilsondog You should try playing over the YouTube with others in the community, that’s what I’ve been doing for over 2 years almost each month- I can’t find face to face players either despite living in the Big City of Chicago, seems everyone is into playing video games in this New century!!!🙄
@wilsondog
you can play solo… just try to win what ever side you are. let the dice determine the finally outcomes.
@nolimit
Hmmm I beg your pardon
@eisenhower
The game setup is all spelled out. Then play each side as you are trying to win and the dice will determine the outcomes…
@eisenhower or you can randomize one side as far as deployments go put deployment locations in a hat and draw them out, then you will not know what the other side is doing.
But actually, reasonably you can almost tell what the enemy will do. For example even the d day invasion, you can select normandy, or pad de calis, or even belgum
for Wilsondog. We have a group in Fairfax County VA that meets twice a month at a county recreation center about 5 miles from where the DC beltway joins I-95. Games have been dormant recently due to COVID, we’ll start up again when it is safe to do so. If you’d like more info, pls contact me directly. regards, Jonathan Rost / jonkrost@comcast.net
@gen-manstein Not sure what you mean by that, could you clarify?🤔
@nolimit
Ha just jivin ya. I’m around to play but covid ain’t helping
@gen-manstein Oh a funny man, eh?😏
@nolimit Sometimes :blush: :blush:

Hi wilson

Hi fellow A&A enthusiasts, my name is Jeff and I’m in Boise Idaho. Just started playing over the summer and I’m hooked. Started with a few other guys in the neighborhood playing the classic version a friend owned and then we graduated to Spring 1942. Played that all fall and winter and then my wife surprised me with Global for Christmas. I had to set it up right away and it was overwhelming to say the least. I’ve played Europe several times and Pacific once but Haven’t had the chance to play Global yet- I think we’re still intimidated by the rules and sheer size of the game. Considering our ‘42 games could last 12+ hours I can’t imagine Global can be played in less than 15-20!
Looking forward to reading other posts and trying new strategies!
Hi j
its fun setting the board up isn’t it :) Especially when you’re Germany lol
@barnee yes and, naughtily, knocking over all the French pieces, like a child playing soldiers, as you start your conquest of the world!

Aawww be nice now ! :disappointed_relieved: :disappointed_relieved: :disappointed_relieved: lol
@jscam74 You should look over the YouTube and you’ll find a Lotta strategy videos and YouTube Wars going on, you should easily pick up quite a few ideas watching them!!!
WELCOME!!! Global, without any major errors, is certainly a two day game. Usually takes about 75 to 90 minutes to complete one Round.
