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.

a&a?Iron Blitz?dogs of war?triple A?
wich one?
-
you can download it at www.the-underdogs.org in the belated hall of fame war section
-
Which one is the best overall?
-
forget about the version from the-underdogs.org, its a bad rip letting the game run extremely slow. Just go for eDonkey/eMule/Kazaa and get the full iso.

what is dogs of war and triple A? i have heard of a&a and iron blitz but not the other two?
-
I finally ordered my copy of A&A on CD, since I can never seem to get more than one person together to play the board game. So what is Dogs Of War and Triple A?
I have the PC version of A&A:Iron Blitz (downloaded ripped) and it’s hard to deal with. Can’t use the sound or it runs slow, menus disappear from view forcing a re-start, etc.
I don’t plan on spending $70 or $80 on ebay to get a ‘real’ version of Iron Bllitz… appearantly there’s a reason it’s rare. Is the regular PC version of A&A better than Iron Blitz?? If so, in what ways?

Where can I get the 1.3.3 patch ?
