I’m William “Red” Cook. I live in Scottsdale Az, a suburb of Phoenix. I played my first Axis and Allies game in 1986, back when there was only one version. I had a group of friends that played through high school then the group eventually faded away during college.

Around 2000 or 2001 i started working in an office and had internet access from my desk. When I got bored I would search random things. Thats how I discovered that there was an online community for Axis and Allies. I jioned this site aswell as others, and i used the games locator forum to build a local group again. We played the original then World at War, then made house rules. We picked up other games as they came out and eventually I would have 8 to 10 people show up for game nights playing 2 games at once. I even got into miniatures for a while.

Once again guys moved away and I had interruptions visiting foreign countries courtesy of the US Army. I played Europe in Baghdad, D-day in Kuwait, Pacific in Jalalabad and 1942 at a place called Torkham at the Afghan border in the Khyber pass.

Now I occasionally get some guys together and play a modified version of The War Game.

@djensen lol, I am, got busy for a few years, but I’ve got the itch again.

@M36:

I’m glad I keep my feet on the ground. :-D

Of course, that C-130 trip to Kuwait is gonna be a long one… :|

You will most likely be on something a little bigger for that trip my friend.  :wink:

Thanks, when I posted this I realy had no idea what the game was about. I looked at Eagle games site and perused the NiE forum there and realized that it seems to be quite a complex and challenging game. I am looking forward to giving it a try.

Have you played the EG Civil war game? The name escapes me at the moment, but a friend of mine picked it up reciently and I haven’t had a chance to play it either.
