Introduce or Re-Introduce Yourself (Jan. 2019)

Attention on deck mates! Just wanted to check in. It’s been a month since joining this thread and I am supplied up and ready to go on cruise. I have purchased A&A Europe 1940 2nd ed and Pacific. As well as A&A 1914. I added Leaders from HSMG and some Facist Italian roundels. I am learning how to play from Young Grasshopper, General Hand Grenade, and Jonathon Meyer. Ready to try some of the 1914 strategies using my own live dice rolls! Let you know how it goes next month. AdmlScuttlebutt out! Fair winds and following seas to each of you! And thanks for the helping hand mates.

It’s always good to see a fellow naval enthusiast joining the forum. Welcome aboard!

@djensen Hello i want to start playing a&a. I am from Europe, Croatia. I am interested in this game and am looking foward to geting one of the games.

@Ivan

Great! Welcome to the forum.

Do you have a PC computer? Are there dedicated board game stores/board game communities in Croatia, I do not know?

Unless your english is college-level, understanding a complex game without the help of an in-language speaker or good written translation is a challenge.

@taamvan Yes there are stores in Croatia where i can get the game. I will be getting a&a 1941 game soon. I researched it for a bit and it looks to be a good version to start on.

Good. 1941 is a simple and inexpensive version, which will only make you want more!

The reason I ask is that finding people who are good, reliable players in your area is difficult. There may only be a few hundred people in my city who actively play this game, and it has 2 million. Find these local people, as they will be good teachers and also good companions and friends to play with.

The game is not so hard to learn, but it will sit on your shelf unless you have those 3-5 friends who are always wanting a game and who will play to the end.

Good luck, and have fun!

@taamvan Thank you!

I started to play A&A about ten years on game table. After it shut down I’ve played it a couple of times with family/friends on the board. Still trying to figure out how to play online. Can someone help point me in the right direction. Thanks!

@Yugo Hi Yugo

This explains how to play online:

You can also play live in the triplea lobby. Ask @Panther if you need help
