Hi Magnum - WELCOME:+1:

Since you appreciate variety in all ways, you might want to check out the House Rules forum, especially the Global 1940 version. There is a guarantee of inspiration - and variety.

Hey names Steve live in west Virginia now… I won Americka board game off here a few months back… I play global 40…since I moved I hand built a new table that I was thinking about posting pics of… Along with my painted peice.

Hi Steve,

Welcome to the Forum.

You should definitely post pictures of your game board and units.

Go to “Customizations” and make a “New Topic”.

Since you play Global 1940, I suggest you check out the thread “Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion” - released 20th April 2021 under “House Rules”.

We also work on a version of these rules for use with TripleA - more about that later.

If you’re looking for fun & challenge - you definitely came to the right place:+1:

[Nolimit]

@stuka80 You should get yourself a YouTube channel to show off your table, maybe even immerse into some YouTube Wars with others!!!

[Eisenhower]

@nolimit Welcome Steve,
WOW you sound like a reak pro.
Have you ever played D Day?

[Nolimit]

@eisenhower I have, however I didn’t care for it because it feels more like playing Memoir 44 than A&A…😕

[Stuka80]

@nolimit hey nolimit I love your videos and yeah I watch all the guys… Sireblood, GI Joe, Hambone, and I have definitely thought about a channel but I don’t know if I’m that type of guy… I’m. Not worried about ppl… I was military and when I got out I have been a police officer… So ppl don’t make me nervous… But I am not camera friendly lol…idk… Maybe I just need to do it and not worry… I see you having fun in your videos and it’s awesome. I was close to starting but then backed out lol maybe I will do videos without showing my face like so many others…lol

[Stuka80]

@eisenhower I have never played it… I would definitely try… If it’s a board game and WW2 related I’d never turn it down lol

[Stuka80]

@the-plastic-commando love the videos bro… I keep thinking about making some myself but can’t seem to make that leap… I’m not a video kinda guy lol

[Stuka80]

@the-captain Thank I appreciate that… And your the same captain that makes YouTube videos are you not? If so I am a fan.

[Nolimit]

@stuka80 Even I don’t show my whole face, always wear sunglasses in front of the camera- for YouTube Wars I don’t really show my mug at All!!!

[Nolimit]

@stuka80 Think you’re thinking of the Good Captain, I believe the “Captain” doesn’t have a channel just yet but I highly suggest that he should!!!

My YouTube video hasn’t been released yet - it’ll be ready by the end of this summer.

So, it’s probably another Captain’s video :ok_hand:

As a former Army Officer (Captain) I understand your concern about making video on YouTube etc.

We discussed our YouTube Video options in our Axis & Allies Veteran Players Group - and since most of us are former soldiers we agreed to go ahead no matter what.

I hope that you’ll post pictures of your game board etc. Many players in this forum have posted great pictures - it’s all very inspiring:+1:

[Stuka80]

@the-captain some food for thought thanks… I was a lowly E-5. I was going for career. It was definitely the place for me. My deployments to my post time I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it all but I wouldn’t change a second of it. And after all that, it was a training jump that took my knee… Isn’t that the way it goes. But I will always have A&A global lol

@stuka80
Sometimes make believe is better than the real thing. I never thought of that, I guess to be in any branch of the military you have to be fit for physically for service, I guess they couldn’t just give you an office job?

[Eisenhower]

@eisenhower
At least now you can be a general, something few would obtain in real life. I Knew a man in the national guard that was a colonel and then he got promoted to general. I was so excited to actually know a general. He enjoyed my enthusium.

[Ricardo Fuentes]

Hello everyone I’m Ricardo Fuentes , i’m from Puerto Rico, how good it is to meet you all

[Eisenhower]

@ricardo-fuentes

Welcome…I love Puerto Rico, a beautiful place. Went there on My honeymoon.

[Stuka80]

@eisenhower they could have and offered but I was Airborne infantry 11B I didn’t want to take a desk job at 19 turning 20. We don’t make our most educated decisions at that age. But still have a 9 year career with the Army that I’m grateful for.

[Eisenhower]

@stuka80
WOW, you did at least have some adventure.
I would have been too afraid to jump from an airplane.
