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.
Did you play A&A before you played A&A Revised?
-
I played Pacific once, and then bought Axis and Allies Revised!
so, I’ve never played A&A (previous edition) -
I did.
-
I startet out with the pacific edition too…
but never A&A -
A&A before A&A:R for me.
I had a friend who played risk that got me into strategy gaming. One of the players in the group got me into A&A a little while later… That was about 8 years ago.

in my opinion, aa revised is way better than the origional, i dont think i could play the old one again
-
i agree tc revised is way better, but i’m feeling old i started playing classic about 13 years ago or so. and risk before that with dad and uncles, great game still play once in great while. pacific & europe are also good, but hard to win with the allies. i like revised because it’s the most evenly matched of all the games. the axis do have a good chance to win, and alot more games where both moscow & berlin fall.
-
I played original for years. The europe one a few times. Revised is a much better game.
-
I played the orignal for many moons. When Europe came out I found it a bit drawn out and never quite felt like I broke the game down to fundamentals like I have the orignal or revised. I have Pacific but have yet to play it.

Europe for the GER player, was the most boring time experience ever! You prayed for the pizza to arrive.
