@tmartin Welcome to the forum!

@tmartin would you be interested in playing online?

@Draginfut
I don’t really play online but I would like to hear what you play and what platforms you use

@tmartin

Hi t

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

There is also Beamdog’s excellent https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/68/axis-allies-1942-online

@tmartin
I play using Triple A with a friend I met through this site. It works pretty well. I have lost a lot of games to this guy. I have won 3 or four and it keeps my brain alive.

@SirSilas Welcome to the forum!

Hi @SirSilas

Welcome to the site ! In case you are unaware, there are two main ways to play online. Triplea is the most popular https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/17147/gargantua-s-k-i-s-s-triplea-instructions/30 they also have many other games besides just A&A based ones.

Juluis Beamdog also has https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/68/axis-allies-1942-online which is also quite popular.

Some people play with steam and or discord ? I’m not very familiar with those but there are a few people on here that play via that format.

Also, @The-Captain presides over the Danish Axis & Allies Association They primarily play a mod of the Global 1940 game and have a large membership base.

Have Fun gaming !

Hi @barnee

Thank you for your welcome.

I already have TripleA and Axis & Allies Online. But only played against AI so far.

I already talked with The Captain, so with try the Global 40 house rules soon :)

Happy new year to you!

Hi everyone. My name is Mike and I am from Bakersfield, CA. I have been playing since the Classic version in the late 90’s, when the Axis could win an economic victory. I like to play 1942 Classic, both in person and online, 1914, and G40. I don’t play as often as I’d like as I am a busy guy - I have two little kids, plus I am in graduate school. But I do play with my 11 year old son, in fact we just finished our first game of 1914 that I got for Christmas today.

Don’t use any customizations or house rules.

Hello again, im back in the forum mostly to play this year’s league.

@lebowsky All set. Welcome back.

Greetings, Earth Creatures!

I’m from upstate New York. Many moons ago, I played Tactics II, Blitzkrieg, Midway, Richthofen’s War and Outdoor Survival (and maybe others) all by Avalon Hill I believe. I also remember watching my dad and brothers and their friends playing Rise and Decline of the Third Reich (when it was still a new game on the market) as well as other AH games from that period. I was a little too young to play with them at the time as they were all older than me. At some point in recent personal history, I found myself in possession of an original A&A Spring 1942 game from 1982. Probably from a local yard sale. It sat on a shelf for years until I opened it up a few weeks ago and started reading the rules and game play. I was intrigued and expanded my research. I wanted a larger, more in depth experience starting with more game pieces and was initially disappointed with what I found for what it would cost. I finally decided to obtain the A&A Global 1940 version for the expanded game play, map and units variety. I wanted to further expand game play options for the future to explore in depth alternate historical outcomes and decided on using a hybrid system of counters from T2, BK and R&D/3rd R as well as blanks purchased separately. These would be used on the A&A G40 map with major tactical battles worked out using the A&A pieces on the T2 and BK maps with custom rules to include weather and an amalgam of systems from the aforementioned games. The T2 map would be primarily for island battles and the BK map for larger land battles including peninsulas since that’s how its map is designed. I’m also considering making a simple, custom board for sea battles. It’s likely I’ll only be able to do this solitaire (someday) given the info above as well as a rather restricted schedule and available space at this time. I’m currently watching YT videos of others as part of my research and making notes to develop the game play. One of those videos directed me here in search of Oztea’s A&A G40 1939 house rules which that person was using for his video. I found it interesting and thought it might assist my research. I am a huge history nerd and I am following current geopolitical events very closely. We live in great and terrible historical times indeed! Peace, +Pfc
