@koala My son & I would have the actual board set up & Skyped the dice rolls with other parts of the turn being communicated by phone &/or Skype if both parties had wifi. Just when the next turn player was ready to do their move then we would set up a time to go for it! Hope this helps & answers your question.
I live in voluntown, ct and although haven’t played in a while, still love axis and allies. Looking to play once or twice year, like you mentioned. My email is vtownbulldogs@gmail.com and my name is joe.
Sorry, can’t do Brighton, a little far. However I will be at the MichCon Convention all day Friday 1pm to Close and Saturday after 4pm. Saturday there will be an AAGlobal session going on at 4 and 7pm. On Friday, I’m just gonna bring my own copy and play in the free play section.
