Years ago I was an avid A&A player, but have been dormant for quiet sometime, years, I would like to become active again.  I’ve searched the net and left utterly confused as to where to go next!  I still have my old A&A CD, but I’m sure it is way out of date.  I’ve never played the new version where Italy is it’s own power.

I would appreciate it if someone would take a few minutes to “spoon feed” me and help me get going again.

Where is the best place to get the New SW?  Where is the best place to play live online games?  etc.

thanks
