Hello everyone,
I’m new here (new to this forum and very new to A&A).
I’m almost 45 and father of a 15 and a 12 year old boys who decided to get A&A for Christmas.
So far we had a blast (and we played only 1 turn).
In the last month I studied both rule books, watched almost all YoungGrasshopper videos on YouTube (thanks so much for this), browse this forum heavily, printed additional materials (from this forum mostly) and even purchased additional materials from Historical Board Gaming.
I’m playing Axis (as player 1), my older son is playing USSR, USA and China, my youngest is playing UK, ANZAC and France. They do really like it so far, I’m explaining rules as we go (purposely omitting some at the beginning) and so far our 1st turn was long (almost 2 hours) but enjoyable.
I’m glad I was able to stir them from their xBox and computer game a little.
I have no particular question (so far), wanted to thanks this forum and the creator of the game as well as YG who has been a great help with his videos (and also helped me register to this forum).
I have however one comment: I noticed (thru my browsing of this forum) a lot of dead links: sometime to pictures or even materials but considering some of these posts are over 5 years old it is not surprising. However I found very helpful the fact that a lot of prints are still available thru mediafire download website and for this thank you.
My first impression of the game is great and can’t wait for this weekend for round 2.
