👋 Introduce or Re-Introduce Yourself (Current)

@tincanofthesea Nope, but wow! I just looked into it, and I gotta say, I didn’t hesitate with downloading it! This really does look awesome!

@joefromnorway yes it’s great! Especially for my busy life so that I can play games with others via forums

Yo! Johannes here, but just call me Joe.
I’m a teenager from Norway, 15 years old.
I got introduced to AnA by a friend of mine, who wanted me to have a go with him at 1941. Despite playing terribly, I fell in love with the game nevertheless.
For my 14th birthday, I got the Europe 1940 2nd Edition, which we figured was a good purchase as it was a game I could expand upon, and if we wanted to play a less demanding game, we could just go back to 1941.
I then got the Pacific 1940 version for christmas, and have stuck to the G1940 since.
I know I’m a little young compared to most others in this community, but that doesn’t mean I’m any less fascinated by the game!

Furthermore, I just discovered an other AnA game which really gained my attention, which is Global War 1936v3 respectively.
I’m planning to build up my storage and eventually purchase the map, but I’ve figured that there’s a lot to that game, so I think I’m going to be consulting this community on this and that before that day comes

Cheers!

WELCOME Johannes!

We are all 15 at heart and love this game so you will fit right in.

WELCOME!

Hi folks, Jon here.

I’m a former board game and card game designer (two products completed, sold like 10 copies of each!), and I’ve always enjoyed A&A, but haven’t had much opportunity to play in the last few years. Got back into it playing in a Classic tournament at GenCon this year, and figured I would try to find some people to play with around Houston.

I’ve played 1942 2nd Ed. and Classic (1984), but would be up for trying out other versions. I’ve played with a few house rules (e.g. Russia can’t attack turn 1, bid IPCs for right to play Allies) and I am thinking about home-brewing a rule to make the research mechanic from Classic actually worthwhile, but I don’t care about these things and am happy to play whichever way.

Let’s meet up, have a few beers, and play a game or two!

Cheers,

Jon

@blueshoejon

Hi Jon,

Welcome to the forum.

Since you play with a few house rules, you might find inspiration in the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

We even have a Basic Expansion - and a 1943 Expansion as well.

Some of these house rules were original designed for use with the Classic and Revised editions.

You’ll find the thread under “Customization” - “House Rules” section.

Have fun:+1:

Wanted to reintroduce myself as I have been active on here for a while now . I have a new YouTube Channel I would love for you to check out my first video!

https://youtu.be/34Av-zI4Anw

I play A&A 1914, Global 40 Balanced Mod, 3G40/Young grasshopper tournament edition, Path To Victory (TripleA only adaptation/modification of Balanced Mod), HBG GW36 Version 3, and A&A Guadalcanal! I have played a number of expansions for HBG GW36 and consider GW36 V3 my top game!

@theveteran I’m still very active on various editions of A&A over the YouTube, and so I can’t say I’m interested in the HBG global war games- whenever you start putting A&A content on a regular basis on your channel then I’ll definitely subscribe to you!!!

@nolimit alrighty!

@theveteran
Great - I’ll check asap:+1:

@the-captain superb!

Hello all,

I am Cody Burton. I am 22 and have been playing A&A since birth! I am in the military, currently stationed in SK. So if anyone has a board here I am down to play… any board. Sadly since joining the mil I haven’t played A&A. Nor do I have any of my boards with me.

Hey Cody,
welcome.
Cody, do you know about vassal? It is a way to play military games without a physical board.

Here you go Cody

@eisenhower I did not! I appreciate it!

Here is another way you can play against the computer

Not too bad, except I can never figure out how to send troops across the ocean.

Hi @Cody_Burton Welcome to the site. In addition to the awesome information @eisenhower provided, which i was unaware of as well, you can play on triplea also

Hi all warmongers!

I am Ron and discharged from military since 2016. I only started playing A&A 3 years ago. Loves the game so much that I bought D-Day to “entice” my son into it! I’m lucky to have a bunch of good buddies to play the game once in awhile but due to the current covid situation we have to stop for awhile. Be responsible and stay safe guys!

Ron aka Bigwatcher

@bigwatcher Nice to meet you! It’s awesome that you have a group to play with!

@bigwatcher WELCOME!

Yes, not being able to play in person sucks. Can’t wait for life to return to normal and being able to play face to face again.

WELCOME!

@tincanofthesea yep…lucky that the country i come from is kinda small, meeting up for game is not a problem at all
