So, I think I’m going to push this out another several months. To celebrate 25, I think I just want to get back into the swing of things. Maybe do a giveaway. Go to a bunch of events. And play lot’s of A&A. Be more active here.

It may be an open secret but I just don’t play a ton of A&A these days.

However, I really, really enjoyed playtesting Stalingrad last Fall. I played som D-Day with @The_Good_Captain recently. Two games in a row; first one he shut me out. Second one was closer but he won hands down. Despite the loss, it was awesome. The next day @rmorel and I played Anniversary edition with Dale (not sue if he’s here), my dice were on fire but even if they were not; it was a great time.

I’m going to do more of that. Work on the website. Run an event at GenCon, etc.

Savegame

LaCrosse, Wisconsin area… not many A&A players around here…

But, I just got back into it and finally went into the local game store. I figure if I can play there I may find a few players in the area.

Glad to be of help.  It wasn’t so much my brilliance as having the exact same issue a month ago with a piggybacked ‘freebee’ that got installed along with something else.

I actually don’t use any anti-virus software.  I am just careful as to what porno sites I view!

I would be happy to pay $30 for a nice polo (short sleeved, preferably with pocket but not required, and in a dark or earth tone color).  Embroidered rather than decal or screen print (embroidery is now actually pretty cheap, for small chest emblems it is usually cheaper than screen print)

Just let me see a pic in advance, and give me an addy to send my check.

I have finally deployed the new Axis & Allies.org website.

As always it is a work in progress but the new deployment will help that work move along more smoothly.

you see,
this is why i feel uncomfortable when someone points to my (proliferic) post number. This is not an acheivement, so much as an anti-acheivement. The note that this is how much time i have spent NOT on a date, NOT studying, and NOT sleeping etc.
it’s very sad.

thought you’d like that. but just think how TG feels. :wink:
