RE: Any players in New York City?
Nassau county here. No problem going to boroughs :-)
My friend and I are 34 year old guys. We do like beer and Axis. My email address is SpinalRemains138@gmail.com
Today I spoke to him and he suggested I come here to look for dudes to play with.
I have played the global game once and he has played Pacific 40 3 times. It’d be great to find new Axis buds.

RE: Best Soviet Weapons?
AK-47 for all around best weapon to me.
For WWII - The cold Winter, the T34 in numbers and the Katuscha rockets I think had the biggest impact against the Germans.
lol oh and I just remembered…… The Tsar Bomba!

RE: Seriously?
Hello guys/gals.
I’d like to give some of my opinion if it’s cool.
I have only played the global game once…… today. I have played the Pacific game 5 times by itself and I have never played the Europe game by itself.
I don’t think there’s any problems with the Pacific game. It is a little hairy with extra movements from bases and such, but overall I find the game to be balanced enough. I have read a lot of guys complaining that you can be knocked out in the first round etc… with the Europe game, but it’s a dice game. The guy who has the best strategy and better pieces isn’t even the guy who wins. It’s the guy who consistently rolls 1s and 2s that wins. We can kid ourselves all day that we’re master tacticians and have all these great plans, but the dice have always, and will always decide the winner. I like how Italy has a little beef, but not enough to kick serious ass right away. Given great dice, the UK will be hurt badly in the Med and North Africa.
Anyway I really do like the game the way it is. I have not played it as much as many of you guys but so far my impressions are that of it being a great game. I just don’t think it’s fair to place blame or insult to a games initial setup design when the dice are what sways the outcome on any given day. Right? Anyone with me?
Nice to meet you guys. I’m new here. I have been playing Axis games since 96.

RE: Favorite Power?
Hi guys. I am new here. I have been playing A and A for nearly 15 years now and I just got the global game yesterday. Can’t wait to play the global game with my 2 buddies.
I have always enjoyed playing UK the most, regardless of edition. I really enjoy the strategic use of transports and the importance of heavy navy and limited North African land units. UK always has many options and is always involved.
