@FMErwinRommel Livid Labs in the name of my business that this website is a part of.

Click, “send” then login to PayPal or Sign Up for PayPal. Then you well see the send payment page and a note field where you can enter your forum username.

This theme on NodeBB seems to be un or under-supported in the latest release. I might have to switch but people are not going to like it … which might include me. :-(

Most of you did not provide your username when contributing. This is is going to delay your badge by an unknown amount of time.

@FMErwinRommel It looks like they don’t have guest check out any more. Are you able to create a PayPal account?

@Midnight_Reaper I’m good, thanks for asking. The holiday season was just very busy. I also got knocked out by some non-COVID cold in October.

Welcome to the 2024 Axis & Allies .org support drive.

Several costs for running this site have gone up in the past few years. For instance hosting went up and now we have to pay for our Gmail (Google for Work) account, which used to be free for over a decade. Traffic is down so ads are down; 2 sponsors stopped paying; and we collected 60% of normal from the support drive.

As a result for the first time in over a decade the price for patrons is going up and we’re no longer offering a discount for renewing. However, we also have new perks this year:

• Gold: signature, no ads (except sponsors), badge
• Silver: no ads (except sponsors), badge
• Bronze: badge

This support drive will end on December 31, 2024 and the next one will begin in 2025.

Amount raised: $2505
Number of 2024 unique patrons: 39 (39 in 2023, 90 in 2016)
(last update January 16, 2025)

Thanks!

If you get your badge and are not listed, it likely means I forgot so just send me a friendly reminder.

Who are the following?

• jluna1273@********.com
• stuart*ch****@********.com
• mikeb******icz1@********.com

Sorry for the delay everyone. I’m caught up through November now. However, starting in December PayPal made some changes and is no longer saving the username from the transaction so if your email address on PayPal differs from here, then I don’t know to whom to give the badge.

I’ll fix the style/CSS issues at a later date.

We’re now on the latest NodeBB. I had a maintenance page up for a bit but as a result of some issues with the dice bot, I had some unplanned outages as well.

But everything is all set now. Thanks for your patience.

I don’t know if that’s true, but a man is always entitled to his own opinion.

Yeah, probably not true. =-) I just need to play more North Africa play tests. ;-)

@Jobe I’m fairly certain I do. They’re buried in a box somewhere. I’ll message you.

@reloader-1 I didn’t realize there was playtesting for this. I might be more useful on a “generic-themed” A&A game than North Africa. I feel like all the playtesters are history buffs, except me.

@SuperbattleshipYamato No, I’ve just been slow to add the badges. Sorry about that, I’ll take care of it tonight. Thank you for your patronage!

@Private-Panic Thank you for your support! I’ll get your badge going this week.

@reloader-1 said in Meet your new Axis & Allies Game, now with G.I. Joe:

@Midnight_Reaper I believe by “game engine” they mean the A&A Miniatures.

It would make sense, with the other elements they stated in the release.

No, they are referring to Axis & Allies full stop – not miniatures. This game will be “GI Joe (powered by Axis & Allies)”. It’s a light area control, dice battle game. I’m imagining 1941 with GI Joe using whatever land masses or territories that are in the GI Joe universe.

The industries refers to any little plastic pieces as miniatures.

I’ll try to get an article and maybe an interview up soon to clarify.

I’ll probably buy a copy of this GI Joe game inspired by A&A.

Japan 3 complete.
