@SS-GEN I think he meant face-to-face in Kenosha based on his earlier comment, “Maybe a group Kenosha game is in order?”
Ya OK. Talk soon
@Xlome_00 I checked out SS GEN’s table yesterday, it’s nothing short of awesome! I think Hitler would be jealous of the “General’s Fortress” as it competes with the wolf’s lair. Haha
SSGEN mentioned hosting an event at his bunker in Kenosha on August 17th, a Saturday. I think we should shoot for that date if it works for you and your friend?
@Folgore77 Think he should post his war table over the YouTube to show everybody, maybe some of the game as well!!!

True. I got to get on that
@Folgore77 Can’t wait to check it out. The pictures probably don’t do it justice, but it still looks incredible.
@Folgore77 And yes, so far the 17th works for me. I cannot yet speak for my other buddy, but I will get an answer from him in the next week or so.

Got into A&A less than a year ago and haver become obsessed. Looking for more players. Message me or reply to this thread if you are in the general Chicagoland area and would look to set up a game and create a network of players in the area.
I’ve seen a few Player Locator threads on here, but they look really out of date and not kept up with.
A&A 50 1941 and 1942 have been my game of choice as of late, but I am open to others ( in particular, Global 1940).
How many games have you played of AA50? My play group in chicago has over 120+ games played, most as part of creating and perfecting our house rules: Chicago Rules. If you have lots of Anniversary gaming experience, PM me your email and I can shoot you the rules. They are based on the 1941 set-up.
PM’d. I’ve played over 20 games so far, in person and Triple-A.
@Xlome_00 They really don’t do it justice…Sounds good!
I’m in Chicago (Logan Square neighborhood)! I’m relatively new to the forum here, but I have been playing A&A on and off for years. I have all the games minus the Nova Games original. I have a few friends that I have played with occasionally, but our schedules and the time we can devote almost never match up. So I’m looking to expand the pool of potential players and locations.
@MooseCow Thanks for replying. I’d love to get a game together soon then. I have a small group of 2-3, so maybe we can schedule a game.
How do you like Anniversary Edition? We usually play that, but I am trying to get my group to venture into Global 40…
@Xlome_00 No problem! I love anniversary edition! Despite having global 40 2nd edition and started the process of customizing it, I’ve actually never played it but would love to!
@MooseCow I’m also in Chicago (Montclare neighborhood), so I’m just a bus ride away from you- maybe we can get a game going by your place somewhere in the present future soon!!!
@Nolimit That’s perfect! I’m in southwest Logan right by Mozart Park. My place, your place, a friend’s place, wherever! I have about 4 friends who like to play, located in Avondale, Roscoe Village, and Lakeview, but again it’s rare that all our schedules line up.
@MooseCow Just let me know whenever you’re trying to get a game started!
@Xlome_00 - You missed a good one! You didn’t have to worry about being the new guy, you could have been on my team. I was the new guy for this A&A Global match and my teammates were very helpful when I needed advice. I played as ANZAC and FEC (Far East Command) and we were able to achieve an allied victory! Here are some pics of yesterday’s glorious event. We’re planning on having another one in and around 4 weeks if you or anyone else are interested.
Ahhhhhh looked like a good time. Sorry I missed it!
So are you guys thinking 9/21 for the next one?
Sept 9/14 Saturday 8:30 am as of now.
If it were the 21st I could make it. 14th is my wife and I’s anniversary.
Can’t miss that one!
