👋 Introduce or Re-Introduce Yourself (Current)

@Reeds253 welcome to the club Reed. As you play you will start to notice strategies between your friends and opponents that are hard to beat and that is when you will migrate to AA1940 because it opens up different strategies and possibilities not possible in AA second edition. Enjoy your time with a fantastic game. If you have any questions about this game you will find your answers here.

If all your opponents are on line, 1940 is not an option. On the other hand, you’ll see a different strategy from a different opponent almost every game!

Hey there everybody! My name is Will, I’m from southern Idaho. I started playing Axis & Allies with miniatures when they were first introduced. It wasn’t until the last few years that I got into A&A 1941 and Anniversary (Second Edition). I just recently acquired Global 40 (Second Edition) this summer. A friend and I set up global right away and we haven’t even tried Europe or Pacific separately yet! Additionally, on steam, I just got ‘42 online to stay connected with some friends a couple of states away.

I really enjoy playing and look forward to many adventures in A&A!

@Billbob Hellllllooooo Billybob. Welcome to the club. Once you go global very hard to go Europe or Pacific. It’s just too damn fun. Plenty of info here and many members who have decades of experience in this game. So if you have any questions just ask away. Enjoy a great game.

Hi all - I’ve been on the forums for many years but haven’t been that active lately. I’m from the Southeast but currently live in the Washington DC area. I got started with Axis and Allies because I loved strategy games, but painting and customizing became my hobby and main way of engaging with the A&A community. You don’t have to wrangle your dad or any friends to play with you, which makes it easier!

I’m always happy to offer painting tips or fawn over your pieces that you’ve painted yourself. Here’s some of my past work and here’s a painting tutorial I put together in the early days when I was much more active on the forums.

@Spitfire38 Welcome Sp38! Would like to see your finished pieces. Separately - let me know if you ever want to join a youtube game of AnA.

Hi there,

My name is Anthony. I am from Pittsburgh, PA. My gf father is a veteran and has a giant custom painted board from a blown up outline from one of the earlier versions (I forget which one). They own multiple A&A variants, but I most recently (this week) have purchased us the AAZ version.

Here is a house rule for the original game that I found interesting and it was not implemented but is always discussed. Paratroopers, a bomber can drop up to 3 grunts and if you can’t unite them with ground troops by next turn, they perish.

I have some AAZ rules questions that drove me to this site and I have become a patron, I am a new player but am loving it! I want to support the community as well.

Hello kind people! I’m new to the forums but have been playing A&A in some capacity for about a decade now. Grew up playing with my buddies, my friend’s dad taught us on his classic Milton Bradley board. We later started playing on and collecting our own versions. I own the 20th Anniversary Edition and both halves of 1940 Global. Lately I’ve been enjoying playing A&A 1942 Online, which is what brought me here. My IGN is Ultra Lord #1607.

Hey everyone!!!

My name is Rob, but I go by the call name ‘The Chaplain’

I’m a pastor who loves Axis and Allies games!!! I’ve got a bunch of them and play often!

My favorite is 1914 but G40- BBR is coming up the ranks. I recently attended BB3 in Atlanta and got 3rd with my partner Corpo24!

I’ve got a YouTube channel where I post videos of my games and customizations: home made table, home made hit dice, stuff like that

I live in MO, in the St Louis area…

Ya The Chaplian seen you and C24 on Vids. Congrats on bronze. My hambone took gold again !

Yes siree !

@GEN-MANSTEIN yeah we did!!!

Hi I’m militarized milkmen. My name comes from the fact that the first time I saw a french and Soviet mech infantry, I said, “That’s not mechanized infantry, that’s just milkmen trained to carry infantry instead of milk.” Hence my name, militarized milkmen.

You all probably know me as the guy who keep reopening dead threads specifically ones I started because no one else responds to them lol.

I encourage you to check out my Cold War threads. Me and my partner @GEN-MANSTEIN with help from @MonsieurMurdoch working on developing an adaptation of Axis & Allies (It’s closest to G40 Second Ed.) that takes place during the Cold War. We are actually currently working with Historical Boardgaming on offering our game on their site, and possibly even selling pieces (tokens, tech trees, IPC Tracking Charts, and possibly even minatures) specifically for this game!

We are always looking for help, no I can’t pay you for it, lol. We only have three people actively working on this project, including myself, and we really could use the extra help.

Maybe I should make a thread where all people do is put in plugs for the things they’re working on lol.
