I’m 34, been playing the A&A line since I was 8, so that’s 26 years. I fell in love with the mpa and the little tanks and ships. My brother’s friend had the first game, and we borrowed it a numebr of times. When I was in high school I purchased my first copy of traditional A&A. In college I found out A&A Europe was coming out, and I got super excited and got it. I participated in the online forums a lot, and started participating in a thread to discuss a possible A&A Pacific. I caught Larry’s attention and ended up being an official playtester for A&A Pacific, in fact my name is in the instruction manual. I kept interest in A&A and got D-day and BotB. I then picked up revised. I lost interest in A&A for a while and didn’t get anniversary or anything.
When I saw A&A 40 coming out, I regained interest in A&A and I’m loving this newest game. I have played many face-to-face games against my nephew, and also played about a dozen online games on these forums. I play as often as possible, and I spend a lot of time thinking of off-the-wall strategies to employ in my next game. My tried and true axis strategy doesn’t fail very often, but it gets boring, so I try new things all the time and they frequently fail. All good, love trying out new strats.
