I need help with placing unites!

For beginners, I’ve always liked A&A Europe the original.  It’s out of print, but still obtainable.  There’s even a copy for $25 on BBG!

It’s easy to play, dramatic, and not too long. It teaches the basics of game play without getting too bogged down in technical rules.

Consider it!

Bill, if your still out there, here’s some basic info.  (Sorry no one bothered to respond earlier, I just recently registered here myself.)

If your talking about the 1998 A&A CD which uses 2nd & 3rd editions rules, you are in luck.  A couple other web sites are better geared toward that format.  I believe this site is used by predominantly gamers utilizing the board game via face-to-face (F2F), play by forum (PBF) and play by email (PBEM).

AAWC.org & ewarzone.com both have a patch you can download.  _Plonitus & aqrit have done a ton of work over there to keep the '98 CD alive.  War Zone also is a game host site to play it online.

There are oodles more A&A options out there, just not so much for the '98 CD players.  As you may have noticed, there is a plethora of mutations of A&A games on the market now with lots of different scenarios, rules variations, etc. giving folks lots of flavors to choose from.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, I didn’t even touch on the A&A Iron Blitz or A&A RTS CDs.

No, luck in finding a J7W Shinden there, I guess I’ll just have to use that German 262 as a Nakajima Kikka.

@harry_beast:

I have a 98edition A&A-won’t run on my P4with WinXP-runs on my old P3with Me2000.It also doesn’t seem to have the capability to auto join multiplayer games.
  I would assume a newer game would be in order!
  So–---------What all do I need to play on-line?(real-time )

There is a patch for the multiplayer game at http://home.centurytel.net/khb/aa that is needed to play Hasbro’s A&A with the latest versions of DirectX.

http://www.axisandalliesworldclub.com is a site devoted to playing the Hasbro version online–you can find information on getting it to work as all, as well as find online games, there–check the message boards at that site.

I’d say your copy of the program is completely jacked. First of all, an ally cannot take control of a friendly nations capital. If said nations capital is occupied by enemy forces then the ally can take control of territories that were formerly that nation’s, but once the capital is liberated then that country is back in the game. Under no circumstances can a friendly nation take control of an ally’s capital. In the situation you are refering to the British would lose no money becuase Japan retook Moscow.

Greetings all,

Yesturday I read the rules for Axis and allies and I finished my first game today at the Allies (playing my brother who beat the living daylights outta me). Anyways, I am familiar with Diplomacy PBEM (www.redscape.com I’m Blitzkrieg) and I am interested in playing A&A online.

So… if anyone is willing to play a game with me, or four players if you please, I would love to go. I do not know, however, about opening bids (i’ve heard them mentioned as I fish around this site for info) and a couple other tid bits that I don’t yet comprend. The ideal situation would be 1 experianced player and me and 3 other newbies possibly so that we can be babied through a quick game to get the feel? I could trade dip lessons for A&A lessons :D.

Any takers?? Anyone?? We don’t have to play a game but I’m very interested in learning to play A&A PBEM.
