great feedback luckyday.  We are going to play tonight (friday), and since I don’t think my group is aware of the tank push I don’t know if we are going to be able to use this strategy or not.  I haven’t mentioned the tank push to anyone because we really enjoyed our first game with Europe and I don’t want a (possible) unbeatable strategy to ruin the game.

I was going to start a thread asking if the economy has had any kind of impact on people getting together to play boardgames, like A&A.  Lately, instead of going out to the bars and other activities that cost too much money, my friends and I have been blowing the dust off of the boardgames and playing.

@Guerrilla:

perhaps the oldest thread resurrection ever?

lol.  Well, I was just wandering around the forums and found it.  I wanted to give my two cents about it since Risk does get knocked quite a bit.

My experiences are with classic, revised, and europe.  We just got Europe in a couple weeks ago and played it.  (minus the pieces that were missing, those came in a week later.  But I suppose that is for another thread  :roll: )  We had a blast.  I like the fact that you can play around with a German navy (they start with 10 subs in the water) and the convoys are a neat addition.  We may give Pacific a whirl in a couple months or so, but this game is worth the buy IMO.  (rules are like a mix of classic and revised with some small variations)

Has anyone tried out this tactic yet?  We just played our first game of Europe a couple weeks ago and had a blast.  It will be quite disapointing if the game is broken and Germany can win everytime with OOB rules.  (I am not a fan of house rules in any way, shape, or form.  Free Parking is Free Parking :wink: )

@murraymoto:

I think risk has its place, or places.

Exactly.  I am playing Risk with my 6yr. old stepson right now, wondering when the time is right to bust out the A&A.
