Yes, it is always good when a fellow member that has wandered off comes back to the flock. I am interested in learning from you, and do you have Spring 42 or Pac/Euro 1940, as these are the variants that I have.
Thanks for the welcome, guys.
I don’t have either of those variants, SP - the last one I got was Guadalcanal. In total, I have Original, Revised, Europe, Pacific, D-Day, Bulge, and Guadalcanal. Part of the reason for my return is my interest in Spring '42 and Pacific/Europe '40, as I don’t know anything about either of them. How do they compare to Revised and the original Europe and Pacific?

I would advise you to not waste time on Spring 1942 although it is the lowest priced of them all. Go right to the 1940 games and if the global is too long a game for you then just play the Europe or Pacific versions.
First get AAE40, or alternately DL my AA50 map and use the new pieces from AA42 ( cost $20). The pieces are much better than before.

I like Spring 1942 the most.
So clearly, opinions differ.
Why didn’t you make this thread about me?!?!? :wink:
Welcome back… I do remember you!

Welcome back.
Never thought about playing myself to get a game in. In a few years my son will be old enough, I figure.
Europe 1940 looks really good, I may have to get my hands on that sometime (maybe I’ll hold out till summer, and see if I can get someone to give me it as a birthday present :P).
While I’m at it, anyone recommend any rule variants for the games I already have, maybe a recreation of WWI, or a theoretical clash of the Cold War, etc.?

It’s a pretty good way to go, honestly, though obviously not as good as having another player (or three). It allows to you test strategies against an all-knowing opponent, as well as try wacky things without any “real” consequences.
Spring 42 is my first aaa love and is great, but global is even greater.

Print out ILs AA50 map and the anniversary rules then find some extra units for the Chinese and Italians. If you have some unusual colored units in those old games that might work. Or try the new coachofmany online store. He is selling lots of different color units.
I don’t know you (I’m newish) but I’d like to say hi anyways
He didn`t stick around too long…
I’m still here. Just been busy with Real Life.
I meant before you took the 4 year break or whatever…
