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 Computer Game

Does anyone know why the computer is so easy in A&A? I can’t always find an opponent so I will play the cpt and they are too easy.

Because it’s like the scare crow in Wizard of Oz. I would be better if it only had a brain.
Seriously, it is a low budget game with little time spent on the artificial intelegence.

The only thing you can do to make playing the computer more of a challange is to double the amount of units their side has from the start. It won’t help the AI’s choice of battles or movement, but will sure make things more interesting rather then a 4 round knockout of the puter. As far as a game, I am sure one of us is always up for a game via email on here, just post a challange to the “Games” section and see who wants to take you on.
Viva la Axis!
