👋 Introduce or Re-Introduce Yourself (Current)

@andrewaagamer Hehe, thanks, friend. I’m trying to be glass half-full and humorous in my elder age. I wish my real name was Oliver Cromwell. He is my favorite general. I go back and forth as my favorite politician and statesman. However, I’ve promised myself to make no political comments on this site. Be on the lookout for posts I’llmake about my hobby. It’s real cool stuff, hehehe. I love playing Axis and Allies. But, hard to do with kids now.

Where are you from?
South Dakota, USA
What Axis & Allies games do you like to play?
I’m just getting back into the game. 1941 is fun so far, but I really want to play 1942 2nd Edition and 1942 Anniversary (never played this one.)
How often do you play?
Maybe a couple times a week. Would like to play with real players and would definitely commit the time to a full playthrough.
Do you use any customizations (tables, painted pieces) or house rules?
No.

Hello All, My name is Lloyd. I am new to Axis and Allies. I started learning how to play a week ago. I have not played a game yet. I noticed 4 different online versions. I’m not sure which one to purchase. Can someone help me?

@lmterrell Welcome to the site. I’d suggest using triplea. It’s free and the best.

@lmterrell welcome to A&A! As barnee says, triplea is a good way to play online and for free. But if you do want the boardgame itself, it probably just depends on what you are looking for. If you are new to this kind of boardgame or you want something that is lighter and quicker (games that take an evening rather than a few days) you are probably better off with the 1942 or 1941 versions, at least to start. The Europe and Japan 1940 games are a bit more complicated and they combine for a Global game. These ones require quite a time commitment though and games can last days.

I’ve been playing online for a bit so I’m a bit rusty on the physical versions of the games but that is my sense. And if you are looking for people to play against the online game and this site are a good resource.

I’m only aware of two. What versions are these

@lmterrell Welcome to the best Axis & Allies site on the Planet:+1:

Since you started learning how to play Axis & Allies a week ago - did someone show you - or did you start learning by yourself?

And which Axis & Allies Game did you learn?

Concerning Axis & Allies Board Game versions, I suggest - like Farmboy also mentioned - that you start learning the game mechanisms with Axis & Allies 1941. This is a smiplified version of Axis & Allies - excellent for beginners. And you can always find help on this forum.

As barnee mentioned, TripleA probably holds the best online versions - and it’s a good way to gain experience with Axis & Allies, and again - you can always find help on this forum.

Good luck & have fun:+1:

Hi all!
I’m a player in Austin Texas, but return to Providence, Rhode Island for good in the next 2 months.
I got a copy of Axis and Allies 2004 revised edition at a yard scale when I was a kid because the figures looked cool and the setup seemed fun! Finally started playing a bit in my teenage years, and once I moved to Austin in my 20’s started regular playing.
I picked up a copy of 1941 this year, and have been frankly quite underwhelmed so I went looking for other versions online and found this forum!
I play around twice a month, but am looking to play more.
I’m looking to pick up some house rules to play with (very much enjoyed the civ-specific abilities from 2004) and want to acquire some customizations in the next year.
If there’s any Austin players who play G40 I’d be very interested to hop in for a match in the next 2 months, or in Providence for the foreseeable future!

WELCOME @killerfish! I would recommend Revised, AA50 and Global 1940 for some great world view games and D-Day and Guadalcanal for scenario play.
