    I usually play just 2 player games, sometimes three. I just have trouble getting my friends into playing it.

    You have to let them win every once in a while.


  • I am proud to say that I have quite a few friends who are willing to play, so much that one has to be left out for now. He gets to play settlers of catan on the other months though. I could muster seven up probably twice or thrice a year, but no more

    Well count your blessings, I have a hard time finding one opponent these days.

    Well it’s not that, we can’t even play a full turn most of the time because they get bored and want to play PS3 or something.


  • I know what  you’re saying maverick :-P

    We need to get some new friends or maybe we can all move to the same city. Hell, let’s start our own city called Axisandallies, USA


  • Is that near Lake Woebegone?


  • @Croesus:

    Is that near Lake Woebegone?

    No, I think it’s near WOTC bluff.


  • @Croesus:

    Does that show still air on NPR? I haven’t heard it in a while…


  • @Yoper:

    This is my guess:

    Two player game: One player controls all Axis powers (Germany/Japan/Italy) and the other controls all the Allies (the remaining powers).

    Three player game: Each player controls one of the following powers or group of powers - all the Axis powers, United Kingdom/ANZAC/ France, and the United States/Soviet Union/ /China.

    Four player game: Each player controls one of the following powers or group of powers - all the Axis powers, United Kingdom /ANZAC, Soviet Union/France, and the United States/China.

    Five player game: Each player controls one of the following powers or group of powers- Germany/Italy, Japan, United Kingdom/ANZAC, Soviet Union/France, and the United States/China.

    Six player game: Each player controls one of the following powers or group of powers- Germany, United Kingdom /ANZAC, Italy, Soviet Union/France, Japan, and the United States/China.

    Is this what you want or what you think will be in the rulebook?


  • I really think the power groupings will be optional.


  • @Yoper:

    Four player game: Each player controls one of the following powers or group of powers - all the Axis powers, United Kingdom /ANZAC, Soviet Union/France, and the United States/China.

    No, I don’t think so. For 4 players, you want a 2vs2, so it’s:

    1. Japan
    2. Germany+Italy
    3. UK+Canada+France+USSR (assuming FTF, is better having the one dude at each side of the board)
    4. India+ANZAC+China+USA (same reason. You can split the UK income as you wish, OOB or not, you can guess what I’ll do  :-P)

    For online, allied split should be, for saving time reasons:

    1. UK+USSR
    2. USA+China+France

  • @Yoper:

    WotC has a way of changing things after it leaves our hands.

    Is that when they insert all the typos, broken rules, and slash the amount of pieces down.

    Can anyone give me a good reason why they don’t sell extra pieces?


  • Do you want the real reason or a good one.


  • So since the UK income is going to be split to India (OOB at least) I can see a much better case for UK/ANZAC than I was originally going off of since India may need the help from ANZAC being closest in the Pacific.  However, would it be more important to have US/ANZAC working together and have the UK/France navies paired in the Atlantic?  How greatly will the India split affect groupings?


  • I definitely don’t see USSR player taking on France roll as well. The USSR player should be alone as soon as there are enough players.


  • Or with china

    WOTC does sell extra pieces! Very reasonable too. Its called Axis & Allies 1942.

    That won’t help me get bunkers and Italian pieces.
