I am REALLY enjoying this game, I’m so glad the guys got me to play 2 Classic games a year ago. I’m curious what your A&A background is.
Thank you, I enjoy this game too.
I’ve started playing A&A when I was 12 years old. My mother wanted to buy something from an online shop but the final price was just under the free shipping limit. So she offered me to buy something from that site so that there would be free shipping. I was fond of board games and I also had a growing interest in WW2 so a WW2 board game appealed me. After some searching I found this game called Axis and Allies 1941. Very cheap and it looked cool, so I put it in the shopping cart. After that, I came into contact with the game for the first time and immediately fell love.
At some point I bought Europe and Pacific 1940. I’ve played over a 100 solo games of Global. It was funny as I thought I had an unbeatable Allied strategy. Later I found out the Axis are considered to have a large advantage. I’ve never really played G40 on the forums so I have never figured out if my Allied strategy was actually unbeatable or just my Axis play being flawed (I think the latter one). It has been too long ago so now I don’t know anymore the exact details of the strategy, so I guess we’ll never know.
Joined this site in 2021 but have not played actively until this year. Finished high school last year and am currently taking a gap year so now I’ve lots of time to play.
You definitely have skills and experience.
Ha, I take that as a compliment from someone who is in the top of the G40 League standings! Although I don’t think I have that much experience compared to most people playing here. With the exception of Original Europe (and G40 but that was too long ago), I have never really stacked many games of any version. The_Good_Captain for example has played 50+ games of Anniversary 1941, 100+ games of Classic, 40+ games of 1914, compared to 5, 1 and 8 games for me respectively 😂
