Just wanted to mention another place to play online, which probably won’t be going AA50 anytime soon (so if you want a place to play Revised for a while, it’d fit the bill): the IAAPA, which can be found at axisandallies.net
This is one of the oldest A&A clubs around, and these folks are so old school that most of the gaming there is still 2nd edition! That’s right, Revised is cutting edge at the IAAPA. However, don’t be too quick to dismiss them, they have some very good players including some very good Revised players. I’ve played in a number of their Revised tournaments (they have three per year) and have never made it to the finals.
Sitting positions for 5 man game…
-
So when you play a five man game, where does each country typically sit relativew to the board?
-
It think it would be up to individual players but here’s what we generally do.
Germany on the south side of the board. UK on the Northwest side, Russia on Northeast, US on West, Japan on the East. This has the advantage of having the German and Japan player sitting next to each other and all three allies sitting together with UK in the middle. The one player who has to do some jumping around is the US guy but that really can’t be helped because the US plays on both sides of the board.
