@Admiral_Yamamoto:
what do I need to have and to know to play a game online?
There are a couple threads here that deal with some of the basics, like the PBEM hints/tips, and Tcnance’s help thread.
Basically, you just need a computer. :-)
There is a map program that can make things easier (link in the Tips thread), and a couple of online dice rollers that can be used that email results for combat.
In the “Games in Progress” section you can kind of see how turns are done as well.
@Fitz:
I am interested in trying to play a forum game…but have no idea how to go about it. I have the old school Axis and Allies, Europe, and Pacific. Anybody willing to play a game and explain the by forum method?
We also refer to the Old school A&A as “Classic”, just in case you see that term.
We have a few Classic players, including myself but I’ve been tied up with a few other games. Infact I’m supposed to start a game with another new player Puntific. Sorry Puntific, my current battle with NoMercy has reached Epic proportions.
If you are interested you two might be able to play each and learn together. I think he had a post in the 1 on 1 help thread.
If you two do set up a game I can provide a link to pretty good dicey for Old school A&A and help you get started. But it is really easy.
Also many players just use their boards at home and not the map program.
