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

Hi @tank-nut

Welcome to the site !

You can also play online with triplea https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/17147/gargantua-s-k-i-s-s-triplea-instructions/30

A good way to get more experience :). It’s also useful for just testing stuff in general :)

Hi @Prosperity

Welcome to the site :)

In case you haven’t already found it yet https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/65/play-online-axis-allies

Most people play with triplea https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/17147/gargantua-s-k-i-s-s-triplea-instructions/30

or 1942 online https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/68/axis-allies-1942-online

There may be other ways, such as discord, but I’m not familiar with that.

Have Fun Gaming !

@Sebskullian-0 thanks very much for the information

Hello, I am from the United States. I enjoy playing Axis and Allies 1942 (Second Edition) and the Global 1940 game. I play every couple of months. When I get together with friends to play Global 1940 we like to draw countries out of a hat so that the country one plays is a surprise.

@bamaackbar WELCOME!!!

@bamaackbar Welcome Barnaackbar! What area/state/city do you play in? There’s a group of us who play in central MA

@mkgionet Hey! our group is in eastern Ma. S New Hampshire.

@mkgionet I play in Alabama.

Hello Fellow A&A Enthusiasts!

My name is Tim MacPherson. I’m from Albany, New York (well a suburb thereof).

I started playing A&A in college circa 1998. A buddy of mind introduced me to the original game complete with the styrophoam unit well that came in the box. I was pretty much hooked instantly. We all played a lot of risk with our friends and room mates. When i saw A&A for the first time my mind was blown!

I remember going to a book store, maybe it was Barnes & Nobles back in the earlyish 2000’s and seeing A&A Europe (the original version). So you’re telling me Russia has land zones that are circular in shape? And Germany starts with HOW MANY SUBMARINES??? Mind blown! By this time it was really just me and my soon-to-be dentist friend who played hard core. We had some friends who still played, but not like we did.

It was in this game that my buddy first came up with a submarine screen against me. Brilliant! I can only attack at most two, if i divide my navy and then he’s just going to swarm me from every angle with subs i can’t even reach on my attack move… Why didn’t i think of that? I use to work in bio-pharmaceutical process sciences and later went to law school (early mid-life crisis), now i’m an Admin. Law Judge for the Department of Environmental Conservation. So… I think i’m pretty smart, but i will admit, the bloody dentist is probably a bit smarter than me (a bit - and don’t tell him i said that).

It was a few years later that i went to the mall and was looking through a board game store when I saw the pacific version. I couldn’t believe it! Insta buy! We tried like heck to figure out how to merge the two games. Made up all kinds of silly stuff to try to make it work. Our prayers were eventually answered when G40 came out.

Anyway, we played most of the A&A games. Guadalcanal eluded us and was just too pricey when out of print to buy. Thanks to Renegade i just got my copy a few days ago. That one was a decade in the making and we can’t wait to play it. Except… Yeah we’re going to play N. Africa the next time we get together. 100%

But the one i always wanted was Anniversary Edition. It was easily $500+ and that was used. I finally found a lightly used copy in 2012 for $300. And i bought it. Imbalanced though it may be, it is still a great version of the game. When the reprint happened, i bought three copies. One for me, one for my dentist friend and one to never open!

Anyway, in the DIY/crafts department, i’m working on making some fighter/bomber stands using nails, washers, mini magnets and gorilla glue. I figure i’ll put magnets on the aircraft carriers as well. If anyone has any helpful DIY tips on that end i’d love to see a video or read something about it.

We are all married with children at this point so we really only get to play about twice a year when we do our semi-annual college boys get together. Still… love the heck out of these games.

And i can’t wait for N. Africa! a couple more weeks and i get to play against myself. Then against my bud in January. It looks absolutely fantastic and we both love that Renegade has added new mechanics rather than just giving us a new map to play with the same rules. We are insanely excited to play it!

Cheers and glad to be a part of the forum.

-Tim
