There’s been some discussion. Early next year at best.

Too bad this need to be done! I hate it if people spoil the fun for others!

Due to holidays and other commitments our numbers were whittled down to just three players this time, but that meant more action for us!

We played 1914. Dukla passer played Italy and Russia with a non-forum player taking UK, USA and France. Private Panic played Germany, AH & Turkey.

With fewer players we managed to complete more turns - eight in all. However, we forgot that in 1914 unsupported infantry have an attack power of 2, instead playing them at 1, as for the ww2 A&A versions. Dukla passer spotted this after perhaps the 5th turn but we decided that we should continue as we had started.

That of course slowed down those advances which were meant to swiftly eliminate an enemy power - giving both R and T an extended life.

Nevertheless, Moscow fell in turn 8. By contrast, T fared much better and had by the end begun to overcome the allied forces arrayed against it. This is despite being reduced to 9 ipcs at one stage.

Elsewhere:

The USA was bringing to an end G’s ability to roam Africa at will. F’s forces had taken control of Alsace. A-H dominant in northern Italy and at the gates of Rome, although that was heavily defended by multi-national forces. AH also therefore threatening southern F, which had served to divert F reinforcements away from the G front, giving hope to the Axis that Alsace would be recaptured. Allied fleets in control of the Med. G and UK navies continually contesting the North Sea. Two significant naval engagements there won by the UK, despite one being on absolutely equal terms and the other with a clear Axis advantage.

Private Panic felt that the game should be declared a draw as neither side had a clear winning position. Dukla passer felt that the Axis had a 60/40 advantage, perhaps because of Turkey’s renaissance. He is a gentleman!

Happy to help and would try my upmost to make a date(!). You will enjoy 42. Lovely sculpts!

Ok, looks like it will most likely be the weekend of 10/26. That’s Fri, 10/26 through Sun, 10/28. My buddy and I from So Cal will definitely be coming. There may be another friend of ours from So Cal coming as well. Plus, possibly another friend of ours from N. Cal. Our friend from N. Cal is a long shot. So, most likely three of us. Then, we have another two good possibilities(never met in person but corresponding through A&A.org) from S. Cal that will be coming as well. So, that’s 4 or 5 most likely confirmed.

Greetings Gamers,

We will be starting an Axis & Allies club at JAC Games in Akron, Ohio.  JAC Games is located at 1101 W. Portage Trail Ext. in Akron
Ohio.  Our phone number is 330-475-7468, and email is jacgames1@yahoo.com

We will be meeting on the last Saturday of every month at 7 p.m. and playing as late as everyone wants to.  We’ll be playing the newest version of the Axis and Allies board game. We will deviate into other A&A games and also plan to run an ongoing variant version of the game that we have played for many years.  The variant version is played on a very large custom made map with anywhere from 6 to 12 players, it’s more of a free for all style game where natural allies are formed based off of the conditions of all the worlds powers.

Feel free to contact us with any questions.  Thanks

Bring your A&A set, all those who bring A&A game set are guaranteed a spot in the tourny! A&A tourny @ FlatCon this Sat 7-20 start 9am Bloomington IL.
