👋 Introduce or Re-Introduce Yourself (Current)

@Panther I am currently playing1940 global war on TripleA. I am not playing anything face to face. My friends have retired from gaming. That was unexpected. I am looking for someone within an hour of Richmond. I have a 1940 Europe game, I would like to play with someone.

@Draginfut I recommend that you post / search for players in the Player Locator Category

Good luck :slightly_smiling_face:

@Panther
Thanks!
The game we play is the WWII 1940’s, but use the 1945 game setup so the US doesn’t have to wait

@Draginfut so that game is actually just called G40 or Global 40. Not to be confused with the global war series of games by Historical Board Gaming.

@Th3LastP1g

Do you have a set up chart for the 1945 set up ?

@The-Captain
I don’t, but my friends dad does.
I could ask to see it if I need to.

I like to play 1941 and any what to get it done?

I need help on the stuff to play. Do I need a disk?

@Th3LastP1g

That would be great - we would like to see your 1945 Set Up - but only if it is as close to WWII History as possible.

You might also find inspiration at the House Rules section - look for Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

Hi @Major-JSoto not entirely sure what you are asking but, if you’re looking to play online, you need to use triplea https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/17147/gargantua-s-k-i-s-s-triplea-instructions/30

I’m not sure which 1941 you’re referring to, but it has the latest 1941 as well as the AA50 one.
Also a pile of other games

@The-Captain
Ok, I will try to get that to you soon.
I don’t know how long it should take, I will try to get it soon.

@Th3LastP1g

Okay - great, thanks:+1:

Where are you from?
What Axis & Allies games do you like to play?
How often do you play?
Do you use any customizations (tables, painted pieces) or house rules?

WELCOME!!! @MajorJoey

Glad you are here and enjoy the site. I suggest you pick up some games via TripleA from the top players and check out their games to see some top play.

@AndrewAAGamer I am currently playing Tripe A solitaire to get a feel for the game. I plan on contacting some people for Triple A and doing a better job of introducing myself in a week or so. I am so happy to have found this site.

Welcome @Draginfut What version are you playing ?

Hi all, I’m from New Jersey and have been playing a ton of global 1940 lately both physically and on tripleA. Been stalking the league games and other threads and would love to be apart of the community :) .

Oh, wow, I don’t think I’ve ever posted here.

I joined on January 6, 2019 according to the site’s statistics. EDIT - (NO - 2009, not 2019!) I found this site after playing the revised version somewhere else. I love being able to play a turn of Axis and Allies at my leisure and own timeframe (play by e-mail, play by forum).

We used to play with “ABattlemap” which was just a digital A&A map with little rectangle icons that you dragged to territories. We typed in every move, and rolled dice on the forum.

AA50 came out, around that time? 2008 I think. That game was a huge breakthrough in A&A, with national objectives being introduced, and Italy as a playable power that balanced it out, 3 on 3 instead of the wicked double move by the Allies.

After enough years, and after some vacancies I was and still feel honored to be a moderator on the site. I still can’t believe it.

I have been supervising and organizing and moderating the A&A.org league for many years, and it has been amazing. Because all the guys from around the world (mostly USA and Europe) that enthusiastically play A&A here in the league are high quality and interesting and fun people.

Check out the league forum if you’ve ever played A&A on the TripleA program, or even if you haven’t and you are intrigued.

You don’t have to sign up for the league and there is no commitment. Basically it standardizes rules, has a moderator who will ensure fair play, and most importantly? a standings/rankings board where you can see how you stack up against your fellow A&A enthusiasts. Beware. They are enthusiasts and they are experienced and good at the game. But there are players for every skill level, and the rankings board is so helpful in finding the caliber of player you are looking for.

It’s OK to lose. Learn a lot and improve. Here’s a link to the league.
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/29/league

All you do is ask for a game in the “Find League opponents” thread under “League”. You play someone a game that is within the league forum play section of this site, finish one game, and you are on the board, it’s that easy.

I have experience with Classic (been a long time), Revised, 50th Anniversary edition, Global 1940 (came out in 2012), and A&A&Zombies. If you want to talk about any of these games, I would love to receive a Private message from you.

I am one of the top posters on the site (especially because of playing AA50 by forum the old way - which was a LOT of posting) at 26,100 posts. So I love A&A and I value this site very much, and I’m writing all this in hopes that you will investigate more and find out why so many people frequent this website.

Hello! I’m a young man in my 20s who comes from upstate New York and now lives in Texas.

I was introduced to Axis & Allies around the age of 12 by a pair of childhood friends. They’re brothers who played the Revised edition with their dad and whomever else they could convince to join them. I played several games of Revised with them throughout my teens, and then got my own 1942:2E in the summer after I graduated high school. I’ve only had two opportunities to use it, unfortunately, but I’m looking to establish personal group now that I’ve settled down.

I like to keep the gameplay experience very close to what the designers intended. My metagame interests include:

• simplifying rules to assist new players
• porting newer gameplay systems to older editions (e.g. adding R&D to 1940:2E)
• low-cost cosmetic improvements (e.g. physical IPCs)
• mathematical and computational modeling of A&A combat

Thank you to the enthusiasts before me who built and maintained resources like this website.

@GigaSmoot

Hi
