Hello all,
I’m a new user to this forum. I used to be a lurker at the old online A&A java based game that went offline around 2015 and people were on that forum waiting for it to come back for years lol.
I’ve been playing axis since the original release and I have a few old friends form those days and we just had a re-union game two years ago. A great time.
Another friend i know now was at a board game swap meet in Glendale Arizona, ( I live in Tempe AZ) and he found me a copy of the anniversary edtion. I’m so excited to play, i’m setting it up on my dining room table and going to run a game by myself until i can get a group game going.
A few years back i had picked up a copy of 1942 2nd edition but no one wanted to play so i let it go. this time i’m staying in for the long haul.
My other buddy from the old days has the new 1918 WWI game. We are looking to try it out soon.
I have some house rules but never got to play test them for real. the big one is that for Normandy invasion, the US and UK should be able to attack simultaneously, or else the war in real life may have never been won. Assign the US naval units to UK and let them attack as one force for the duration of that naval combat and landing, then the US forces there skip this turn and return to US control on the next turn.
looking forward to reading this forum regularly.
cheers!
