Never Played Before, what rules should I use?

I just taught it to my kids…great starter game…feed the addiction, let it grow, then wham them with Global 1940!

I think this is the wrong section to post this conversation in, but i’m new here so i’m not sure….

Well, about your problem…

Windows200 is a bit gamingly challenged… i’ve had this happen for the short time i had it with Diablo II and MOHAA… i’d simply use XP

That’s intriguing. I know very little C/C++ programming, unfortunately, but I feel that such a project should be web-based anyways. The demands are not so great that they make a web application unsuitable speed-wise, and the limitations on platform compatibility really suck for application programming. I primarily work (and play) in linux. I have windows installed for the occasional Ravenshield game, but that is it. As a result, the mapview program isn’t much use to me, but I don’t mind having the board set up. In fact, I probably prefer it. In chess I always did better on a board because I could look over everything at once and plan simultaneously. In something like mapview or even in the PC CDROM version of A&A, there is too much moving around to see everything that you have to plan in geographical phases…I dunno. It’s not a really big deal either way.

Coincidentally I just landed a contract job to develop a web application for a company near me that requires a pretty large code base of user-related stuff, like accounts and cross linking accounts in a client/contractor relationship. I am well acquainted with the folks and am free to use the objective code that I write that is not central to the project. So, I can use a lot of the database access / user account related code towards this project once I am done the work project.

I am pretty excited about taking a stab at this.

Thanks again for your help and advice.

he might have the PC version, and if you download that off the internet i highly doubt it comes with a full rulebook

add the person that got caputered moves down his marker on his/her IPC chart

Z_,
That wasn’t luck. That was STUPID STRATEGY on japan’s part. Take the Pacific isles, Alaska, and W CAN? GREAT! No pressure on USSR. Whoopie! :wink:

@GeZe:

how about there is yourself in the game so you can move about and when you die your country is out (attk.0 def.0)

how very “avatar”-like.

MSN’s Zone is a good place to play as long as you have the patch, and better yet it’s free.
