👋 Introduce or Re-Introduce Yourself (Current)

@barnee Thank you very much! I appreciate the info.

Hi everyone!
So glad I found this site last week! I started playing Axis and Allies with the original Pacific from 2001. Loved the game since I first played but really got interested when g40 came out. Recently I’ve been playing bm3 on tripleA with my roommate which has been a blast. Our only house rule so far has been that attacking true neutrals is illegal because it seems unbalanced to us if for example the US owned Spain.

Currently my roommate and I have a very strange game going where he’s (axis) taken Calcutta, Moscow, and all of China while I (allies) have taken all of Africa and Western Europe (W. Ger, Norway, Denmark, N. Italy, S. Italy, and all of France). We’re 16 turns in and I’ve got about 1500 TUV to his 1000 and I’m ahead in production by about 30 but he doesn’t want to concede.

I’m trying to improve my gameplay and strategy and have greatly enjoyed reading these forums, especially the “Allied Playbook” essays and the warfare prinicples by AndrewAAGamer. I’d appreciate if anyone could link me any other “must read” articles!

Would love to play face to face in the Seattle area!

i go by ZAR most of the time,
I play G40 and 1942 mostly and mostly online except when Consimworld is on in Tempe AZ

I am organizing a G$0 BM tournament next month so sign up and play

@zarhunter Welcome to the neighborhood! Props to you for trying to put together a tournament!

@PGsquig Not sure if anyone has responded but you are in the hotbed of highly skilled players. There and across the border into San Fran and over the other in BC.

The game sounds like it is yours to lose. So don’t. Solid play and just stack the rocks on his chest. Protect your supply lines. That’s the big danger–a sudden loss of a huge navy that gives him breathing room.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

@crockett36 Thanks Crockett! Will do. Creating a real sense of doom and dread by surrounding Europe and cutting off Axis options is probably my favorite part of playing as the Allies.

Hi @PGsquig,

I’ve attached a Soviet and US Strategy.

You can find more Strategies and information at the House Rules section - look for Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

hello, i haven’t played axis and allies for nearly 25 years, and have forgotten how it goes. have just bought 1940 pacific. trying to play with a clever 6 year old relative, and wondering if you have any tips on who/where i can ask quick questions for things that come up, until have played a few games and feel up to speed!

@allister
Welcome to the fourm.
For rules and strategy related questions look at the dedicated game categories.
For questions related to online play the stickied topics here are a good start:

Have fun.

@Panther thanks heaps

Hello all,

I’m a new user to this forum. I used to be a lurker at the old online A&A java based game that went offline around 2015 and people were on that forum waiting for it to come back for years lol.
I’ve been playing axis since the original release and I have a few old friends form those days and we just had a re-union game two years ago. A great time.
Another friend i know now was at a board game swap meet in Glendale Arizona, ( I live in Tempe AZ) and he found me a copy of the anniversary edtion. I’m so excited to play, i’m setting it up on my dining room table and going to run a game by myself until i can get a group game going.

A few years back i had picked up a copy of 1942 2nd edition but no one wanted to play so i let it go. this time i’m staying in for the long haul.

My other buddy from the old days has the new 1918 WWI game. We are looking to try it out soon.

I have some house rules but never got to play test them for real. the big one is that for Normandy invasion, the US and UK should be able to attack simultaneously, or else the war in real life may have never been won. Assign the US naval units to UK and let them attack as one force for the duration of that naval combat and landing, then the US forces there skip this turn and return to US control on the next turn.

looking forward to reading this forum regularly.
cheers!
damon out

@DamonDeluca Welcome to the forum, DamonDeluca! I’m sure you’ll have a great time around here. Also, what 1918 game is it, Storm in the West?

@DamonDeluca
WELCOME!!!

@Nuts and everyone,
yes, i meant 1914. Looking it over, it’s a radically different game !

cheers

Hi,
I am from East Anglia UK
I currently have G40 hopefully getting global war 1936 soon
I don’t have any playing groups as off yet as I don’t feel confident in my abilities yet but soon I will (I do play games against myself however, but I can sort off predict my moves)
and I like to have painted pieces

I am a relatively new player but have come to love game hopefully ill improve with time.

@tank-nut good day.
Another English based player.
Good to hear from you.
Private Panic hosts a game quarterly in rural Derbyshire. He is on holiday at the moment , but I am sure he will contact you about the current English based players .
I am in far away Hereford . Been playing since 87.
Hope to talk and meet you one day.

@Witt and you
glad to hear there are players in sunny old England

@tank-nut Hi! Always good the hear about another British player. But Derbyshire is probably too far for you. I guess it depends how far you are from the M11?

@Private-Panic yeah its a tad far and i am not quite ready for a full game yet but in the future i’d love to join a game if you or someone would be okay with a phenomenally bad player joining.
but glad there are players around

@tank-nut No-one will worry about you being a learner. Keep on eye on the Events tab for the next date, which will be published when I get back from my holiday.

Cheers
