It was 1990, I was 18 years old… I moved to the big city of Toronto and my new friends were gamers who played Risk all the time. I quickly got bored of it and was looking for an alternative game I could introduce to them and I saw on the store shelf Axis & Allies from Milton Bradley “a game of high adventure” and “decide the fate of the world in just a few short hours” (lol). Unfortunately we were all pretty hammered by the end of the night and the only thing I remember of my first game was punching out all the plastic pieces from the plastic stencil racks and all the roundels from the cardboard sheets. it was an instant hit with the whole group and I played it with them religiously for up to 2 years until I moved back home to Peterborough. I brought my game with me and it wasn’t long before I hooked some old high school friends to it, and over the next 8 years I played Classic edition even more than I did before. After that in 2000, I moved back to Toronto where I discovered Spring 1942, then A&A Anniversary edition and finally Global 1940… ironically, I met someone from that first group from the early 90’s almost 20 years later, we accidentally bumped into each other online and we have been playing 1 on 1 1940 Global games every month for the past 5 years.
Computer game help.

I recently acquired the Axis & Allies computer game after becoming an addict to the board game. Perhaps this is not the best place to find this kind of help, but im desperate.
Every time I play the game, after about 5 minutes it starts to really slow down and become quite choppy. It happens on my friend’s comp too. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the A&A computer game and figured out how to fix it. If specs might help, here they are:
AMD athlon t-bird processor 1.2 ghz
Gforce3 ti200
512 ddr
Windows XP proSo, if you have encountered a similar problem and found a solution, any assistance would be much appreciated. (and yes, I have tried restarting…) Thanks.

For me it is fine and I’m using a 366 MHZ Celeron with a 4mb ATI video card and windows 98. Do you have the v1.3.3 patch? It should help increase the speed of the game and it will make the AI less stupid but still easy to beat.
you can get it at http://www.spring1942.com/Resources/downloads.asp

I think the problem may be that I got the game from a friend that i believe may have dl’d the game from somewhere…and gave it to me on a cd-r, as the patch wouldn’t install. Im gonna go to ebay now and buy the game. Thanks for your help man.

You’re quite welcome. I hoped I helped you out. My version is also on a cd-r but my friend has the actual cd. I hear that the download version does not have certain thigns such as multiplayer and the basic strategy.
