@general-ld Thx, that kinda makes sense👍 (sucks for me, though, I was wrong😆).

@lenerask we all get the rules wrong from time to time. That is why this forum is so useful.
Enjoy the rest of your game (and remember you are meant to lose to your children ). Not your wife!

@witt

Good question…
In this game everything takes place Once per turn. except when attacking then you have your turn to attack and the enemy to attack both in the same turn. has his turn. Then the results are resolved. Basically you have to wait until the smoke clears to do something else with your stuff. Makes sense, so that you can see what you have.

@lenerask I love this post immediately. I am enthralled that a mother is playing a game like this with her son. Female players are few and far between. Way to go Lene

@sgt-mclusky

Great… Don’t be afraid of making a mistake with the rules. No police will come to the door… Just play as best you can. You will only realize you are not playing correctly when the German’s keep winning WW2.

@lenerask Welcome! I too love the fact a mother is playing with her son on so many levels. AWESOME! I remember beating my mother mercilessly in Parcheesi when I was like just 4 years old. I loved to block and never opened it!

As for the game a good rule of thumb is to remember that to use something you must own it at the beginning of your Turn. That applies to Canals, Naval Bases, new, captured and upgraded Industrial Complexes and territory to place infrastructure in.

@eisenhower The Police have been called and will knock shortly. Enjoy your day sir!

@sgt-mclusky I think I will. I just bought 1940 eur and pacific. It looks like fun

Hey Guys,

My name is John, I’ve only recently discovered Axis and Allies. My best friends played 1941 when he was in middle school, and introduced it to me a few years ago. He didn’t even know that there were other versions out there, but I became very intrigued by the game and did some research and discovered all the other variants out there, such as Anniversary Edition and Global 1940. Now both of us own 1941 and Global, I own 1942 Spring and he owns Anniversary Edition. I play Global with him over facetime since we now live in different states, but I really want to expand my Axis and Allies collection, maybe even getting into Global War '39 and '36 at some point in the future.

@johnnukacola Welcome to the force, you really should check out the 1942 Second edition for it’s a remarkable improvement over the Spring edition!!!

@nolimit Thank you for the warm welcome! Yes, I actually do have 1942 second edition, my apologies. I said the wrong one.

@johnnukacola

I like d day.
The Germans were totally overwhelmed by the d day invasion.
Erwin Rommel who was in charge of the defense knew that it was hopeless even before the invasion began. It seems that by the time of d day, the allies had command over the skys of europe. And the germans were overextended in Russia.
Rommel Tried to explain it to Hitler. Who said he knew that he could not win, but he wanted the germans to die fighting anyway,

@Johnnukacola WELCOME! A lifetime of gaming fun awaits you. Good Luck!

@andrewaagamer
welcome.
The nice thing about axis and allies is the model soldiers and plane. ships, weapons that add an interesting component to the game. Cardboard chits seem to lose something.

My name is Wilson and I just got 1940 axis and allies for Christmas. I’m finding it hard to get people to play with me so I am out looking for game players. Is there a place in the Baltimore Washington area that people play?

@wilsondog You should try playing over the YouTube with others in the community, that’s what I’ve been doing for over 2 years almost each month- I can’t find face to face players either despite living in the Big City of Chicago, seems everyone is into playing video games in this New century!!!🙄

@wilsondog
you can play solo… just try to win what ever side you are. let the dice determine the finally outcomes.

@nolimit
Hmmm I beg your pardon

@eisenhower
The game setup is all spelled out. Then play each side as you are trying to win and the dice will determine the outcomes…

@eisenhower or you can randomize one side as far as deployments go put deployment locations in a hat and draw them out, then you will not know what the other side is doing.
But actually, reasonably you can almost tell what the enemy will do. For example even the d day invasion, you can select normandy, or pad de calis, or even belgum
