👋 Introduce or Re-Introduce Yourself (Current)

@eisenhower I have, however I didn’t care for it because it feels more like playing Memoir 44 than A&A…😕

@nolimit hey nolimit I love your videos and yeah I watch all the guys… Sireblood, GI Joe, Hambone, and I have definitely thought about a channel but I don’t know if I’m that type of guy… I’m. Not worried about ppl… I was military and when I got out I have been a police officer… So ppl don’t make me nervous… But I am not camera friendly lol…idk… Maybe I just need to do it and not worry… I see you having fun in your videos and it’s awesome. I was close to starting but then backed out lol maybe I will do videos without showing my face like so many others…lol

@eisenhower I have never played it… I would definitely try… If it’s a board game and WW2 related I’d never turn it down lol

@the-plastic-commando love the videos bro… I keep thinking about making some myself but can’t seem to make that leap… I’m not a video kinda guy lol

@the-captain Thank I appreciate that… And your the same captain that makes YouTube videos are you not? If so I am a fan.

@stuka80 Even I don’t show my whole face, always wear sunglasses in front of the camera- for YouTube Wars I don’t really show my mug at All!!!

@stuka80 Think you’re thinking of the Good Captain, I believe the “Captain” doesn’t have a channel just yet but I highly suggest that he should!!!

@stuka80
:+1:

My YouTube video hasn’t been released yet - it’ll be ready by the end of this summer.

So, it’s probably another Captain’s video :ok_hand:

As a former Army Officer (Captain) I understand your concern about making video on YouTube etc.

We discussed our YouTube Video options in our Axis & Allies Veteran Players Group - and since most of us are former soldiers we agreed to go ahead no matter what.

I hope that you’ll post pictures of your game board etc. Many players in this forum have posted great pictures - it’s all very inspiring:+1:

@the-captain some food for thought thanks… I was a lowly E-5. I was going for career. It was definitely the place for me. My deployments to my post time I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it all but I wouldn’t change a second of it. And after all that, it was a training jump that took my knee… Isn’t that the way it goes. But I will always have A&A global lol

@stuka80
Sometimes make believe is better than the real thing. I never thought of that, I guess to be in any branch of the military you have to be fit for physically for service, I guess they couldn’t just give you an office job?

@eisenhower
At least now you can be a general, something few would obtain in real life. I Knew a man in the national guard that was a colonel and then he got promoted to general. I was so excited to actually know a general. He enjoyed my enthusium.

Hello everyone I’m Ricardo Fuentes , i’m from Puerto Rico, how good it is to meet you all

@ricardo-fuentes

Welcome…I love Puerto Rico, a beautiful place. Went there on My honeymoon.

@eisenhower they could have and offered but I was Airborne infantry 11B I didn’t want to take a desk job at 19 turning 20. We don’t make our most educated decisions at that age. But still have a 9 year career with the Army that I’m grateful for.

@stuka80
WOW, you did at least have some adventure.
I would have been too afraid to jump from an airplane.

@eisenhower I recivied my honorable discharge in 2003 so my last just was 2003 before I got out… Just a practice jump. After numerous jumps… The practice one is the one jump that took my knee. Figures dosent it

Hello. I’m Martin, from Denmark, Europe.
I have been playing A&A classic since 1983, and some other versions later on. At the moment I like the Zombie version a lot, but with our own “MOAR ZOMBIES” version ;) I like that you can choose more or less any strategic target as Axis, and still have a shot at winning, which is not absolutely true in Global40. But I like that one too! ;)

I haven’t played much online, mostly IRL on Fastaval, and in the local Board-gaming club. In Sønderborg, Denmark.
I also like other boardgames, and I have an account at Boardgamearena with the same nametag.

I’m open to invites! ;)

Welcome Martin!

I was lucky enough to be a part of an introductory party for Zombies for a group of us Seattle gamers. After we played it we got a free signed copy! Wizards of the Coast was extremely nice to us and I was very impressed by them. Hope you enjoy this site!

@stuka80 welcome . And you started playing in 83. Wow! You must have been one of the first to play it . There aren’t many on this forum who have played as long as you.
I discovered it in October 87.

@witt Oh. Actually I got a copy of the Classic game as a parting gift, when I left the “kollegie” in Copenhagen in 83… EDIT : Must have been spring 84, cause that’s when I moved back to Sønderborg
