Chicago, IL area players ?

I’m in Chicago (Logan Square neighborhood)! I’m relatively new to the forum here, but I have been playing A&A on and off for years. I have all the games minus the Nova Games original. I have a few friends that I have played with occasionally, but our schedules and the time we can devote almost never match up. So I’m looking to expand the pool of potential players and locations.

@Xlome_00 No problem! I love anniversary edition! Despite having global 40 2nd edition and started the process of customizing it, I’ve actually never played it but would love to!

@MooseCow I’m also in Chicago (Montclare neighborhood), so I’m just a bus ride away from you- maybe we can get a game going by your place somewhere in the present future soon!!!

@Nolimit That’s perfect! I’m in southwest Logan right by Mozart Park. My place, your place, a friend’s place, wherever! I have about 4 friends who like to play, located in Avondale, Roscoe Village, and Lakeview, but again it’s rare that all our schedules line up.

@MooseCow Just let me know whenever you’re trying to get a game started!

@Xlome_00 - You missed a good one! You didn’t have to worry about being the new guy, you could have been on my team. I was the new guy for this A&A Global match and my teammates were very helpful when I needed advice. I played as ANZAC and FEC (Far East Command) and we were able to achieve an allied victory! Here are some pics of yesterday’s glorious event. We’re planning on having another one in and around 4 weeks if you or anyone else are interested.

@Xlome_00

@SS-GEN, @Xlome_00 Same here, 21st works best for me. The weekend of the 14th I will be camping with family.

Lol. Ok. Will go for the 21st. I’ll keep in touch.
Thanks guys

So what version did you guys play? The map doesn’t look like the global I own. Is this all custom rules/dice/etc?
