Becoming a better Axis & Allies player

For beginners, I’ve always liked A&A Europe the original.  It’s out of print, but still obtainable.  There’s even a copy for $25 on BBG!

It’s easy to play, dramatic, and not too long. It teaches the basics of game play without getting too bogged down in technical rules.

Consider it!

@Bolt-Action:

I’ve been thinking about getting axs and Allies for a while but I am only interested in a “classic” style game, with the whole world represented ( not D-day and so forth). Is it possible to get this style of A and A for under say 150 dollars?

Amazon has 1942 for 23.00

been quite a while. so i did not see the reply until now.

Its sad but true. I could not get hold of any of them. All sold out since its out of production. But i have faith in the new 1941 i read about. Might be somthing to look into when its availible.

I have cut-and-pasted the great answers in that other thread and will work on arranging them in some coherent fashion in a Word doc.

I could probably guess…but someone define exactly the “ignore Japan” strategy and the “Polar Express” counter-strategy and which game(s) they apply to, please.

Thanks.

@losttribe04:

I know how to turn a computer on, off, check email after that it starts getting gray. Does any one know of an on line A&A game that can play multi player where all five sides are represented, and play at the same time. Not posting results back and forth like triple A. Is there such an animal out there???

You know you CAN play TripleA live, right?

You DO know that, right?

Well . . . I guess you know it now.

Hello!

Can someone please give a detailed list of the box content of either AAP or AAE? I’m talking about the number of chips, dices, markers and especially the ammount of units here.

You see, i bought both games a while ago and i figured it would be nice to combine the content of the boxes so that i would never run out of miniatures and chips during the game. However I kind of regret it now, cause it’s quite a pain in the ass having to set up such a massive ammount of stuff. I’d like to be able to pick just one of the boxes and start playing right away, rather than searching for everything necessary in two seperate boxes :cry:

So does anyone have a list? It can be either from AAE or AAP (as long as i’ve got the list of one box, i can sort out the rest by myself ;)). And please indicate not just how many miniatures, but also the type of units (tanks/artillery/etc.).

I’d be really pleased!

p.s. I learned from my mistake and made one of the revised edition of A&A, if anyone needs it, i’ll be glad to post it here :wink:

Good old Alex! He new Russian Communism.
He new Russian Communism wasn’t True Communism,
and he knew it very well! - another great Xiuote

Be careful where you start drawing the line. The USSR still had hope in it in the 1920’s. But after the rise of the Rightist Stalinist, the breech had happened.
