    @trihero:

    I plan to get my kids interested in A&A though….unfortunately it’ll have to be an electronic version since board games will definately be “out” by then

    AHHH!! Nooooo!! A&A is primarily about the board game feeling, that’s what makes it so cool. I don’t think I’d have ever gotten into A&A if it were simply a program on a computer, it’s so fun to have all those chips and plastic men. Don’t deprive your children of an important educational experience, Jen ^_^

    I agree, I personally thought the battleships were cute when I saw my ex-boyfriend’s game one day.  I started playing with it while they were trying to “teach” me how to play, but despite me expressed indifference I started to understand the rules, then figured I’d shut up the whole gang and just play a game and cursh them like wee little bugs!  (They stuck me with Japan, because they all hated to play Japan…they thought it was worthless, until I owned Africa, Australia and had a significant force in Alaska.)

    Of course, back then, I didn’t realize Japan could attack Russia effectively…And we didn’t exactly use the Yakut SSR Wall to slow down the Japs…so it looked like Russia had a TON more troops, to my untrained eye at the time…


  • Why would anyone hate to play Japan?  I would say they are my favorite nation to play! (Sorry for going off-topic; that just blows me away!)

    At the time (early 90’s) it was because Japan seemed so spread out and weak.  Back then it was Japan vs United States (while taking China/Sink and India, maybe even SFE if lucky) and Russia/Brition against Germany.

    Basically, it was up to Germany to win for the Axis, the way we used to play it…of course, things changed :)  Me and those whacky strategy ideas…taking Hawaii on turn one, using it as an air base, running amuck in Africa…ah, the innocence of the time, when you invented your own strategies, instead of taking the canned KGF strat that most people use because it’s proven.

    @Jennifer:

    Just some clarification. I think you might be a bit confused. Women, and girls, do like to receive compliments, even in today’s liberated environment.

    Not saying women don’t.

    I just think a compliment particularly about her appearance shouldn’t be the first thing out of your non drool filled mouth. Ease into it. Also saying nice things about her appearance is easy and everyone does it.

    You might try something like “Jennifer, you play Axis and Allies well. Right up there with the best players I’ve seen. I also enjoy when you trash talk your opponents. Always well done.”

    I don’t know. That or “Nice rack.”

    I dont know if you meant that to be funny, but that quote just made me ROFLOL. In fact, I see a new sig…

    When I played with my friends it was normally KJF, with Russia fending off Germany as long as possible with limited UK aid. Needless to say, when I came to these forums my perception of the game changed dramatically.


  • Squire, that isn’t quite the way I meant that but glad you enjoyed it.


  • Man, you guys don’t know many people who raised their daughters right!  :-)

    I tell my teenage daughter, “If you can’t kick their sAs at A&A, or them not handle the ‘sAs kicking’ dump 'em.”
    Not really.
    I just take the time to show all her boy friends/boyfriends my gun collection while ignoring my target shooting awards…
    Heh-heh!
    Oh, and then I make arrangemants to take them shooting so they can see how well…
    my daughter can handle guns. Heh-heh!

    Men get funny when their girl out shoots them…I had to purposely miss a lot when I went to the range with boys…it sucked!


  • @trihero:

    I sure hope that means I’m smart, a good tactical player and I don’t have boils all over my face….

    I’m used to seeing pretty girls, but I just find it surprising that a girl would flaunt her sexiness in an A&A forum.

    Actually I think Jermo’s icon wins for my favorite. That is one happy baby  :lol:

    She indeed has a man MuthaRussia… One blessed guy…


  • You guys make me sick!  Bothering Jennifer with your questions, just cause she is a pretty good looking lady in her avatar.  Go back where you guys came from!

    Hey I had a right to ask about it, since she was the one who dared to show it! As an example, you wouldn’t go around wearing an offensive shirt unless you wanted the reaction and knew you would get a reaction.  :-P
