The general returns

What up, CC?  Good to see you again!

@strategic:

Robert e lee!

Lee would be an awesome choice. I couldn’t pick him, because in the South his name is cherished in the highest degree.

@ABWorsham:

I realize that some people can not have civil discussions on certain topics. Should the members get removed instead of the blacklisting of certain items? There should be greater freedom, our participation on this Forum funds the site.

Yes. Power to the people!

@Incline:

Thanks for the responses, guys. Appreciate the help!

Just went ahead and ordered AAP40 from Amazon. Looking forward to getting it.

I’m definitely gonna try and get into playing both AA42 and AAP40 online. What’s the standard in the community when it comes to playing the games online? Do the majority of you prefer playing by forum, playing by email (both of which are still somewhat confusing to me, but I’m sure I’ll learn with time), or TripleA? I’ve also heard about ABattlemap….What’s the general consensus on the best way to play?

I believe that the majority of the players active on this website who play Axis and Allies online use ABattlemap to play here on this website using PBF (Play By Forum), but I know that there are also several players who play using TripleA.  I believe that play by e-mail is basically a thing of the past, but I could be wrong.  I personally have only played online using ABattlemap, and yes, the very first time that I played, I was a little confused, but after the first round of play, I was playing online just like someone who had played online for quite a while (not actual gameplay, but posting correctly and such).  It’s actualy not that difficult once you jump in.

as to the reason of my extended absence I found this game cybernations.net (rather fun) but it was basically eating up all my online gaming time (if you’ve played it, you’ll know being government in an alliance takes some effort the actual game only takes like 5 minutes a day) :P now that i’ve lost a lot of interest in it and no longer involved in my alliance i’m picking this back up. also is it me or are the boards awfully slow?

SUD - But that was part of his “magic”. He always tried to read the enemies’ intentions and weaknesses. He never claimed to be always correct in any tactical situation, and clearly was wrong at times. A good example was his obsession with Tobruk. Your point is perhaps his most visited critique (along with his insistence with being up at the front hampering communications). But the equation mostly worked out in his favor…
