Hi all. I live in Canada. I am new to this community. I will be glad to communicate and learn something new for myself
WELCOME Brett!
Hi All,
I have been an avid A&A player since 1992. I have bought many of the versions that have come since then and still enjoy the game now well into my 40’s. I live in Canada and I am also fascinated by politics (current and past) and 20th century history.
As far as the game is concerned, I also enjoy coming up with different house rules to add more realism to the game.
@mlusk welcome!
Hi @mlusk,
Always good to see Axis & Allies Veterans on the forum. Welcome:+1:
Concerning House Rules: You should check out the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion - you’ll find in the House Rules section on this forum.
It’ll certainly bring you inspiration and fun.
Captain
Thanks Captain will give it a look.

@djensen Hi, I am Fidaa from Lebanon, I have been playing the classic Axis & Allies board games since I was 10 years old, never knew their was an online forum. I live in Edinburgh, Scotland, any players around here? Otherwise is their a way to play a multi-player game online? Thanks. F
Hi @fidaa1983 Welcome to the site ! You can play online using triplea https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/17147/gargantua-s-k-i-s-s-triplea-instructions?page=1
You can also play online with https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/68/axis-allies-1942-online
@Private-Panic hosts games in England. Might be too far to travel but he and @Witt know a lot of players in that area. Maybe some will be close to you :)
Hello @Fidaa1983
@barnee is right about me hosting games in England. We play in Derbyshire, which is pretty much central England, but quite a long way from Edinburgh. Nevertheless if you want to make the trip you are always welcome. See the Battle of Britain threads in Events.
My list of UK players does not include anyone in Scotland I am afraid. I do know someone in Cumbria and a few in Northern Ireland, but I imagine that is no help to you. Hopefully someone more local to you will see your post and get in touch with you.
Cheers
Adam (PP)
@fidaa1983 WELCOME!!!
Hello, I’m frightening lightning, and I’ve been playing Axis and Allies since 2017. I’m a World War Two fanatic as well. My group just recently switched over to Global.
WELCOME!!! Look around and see if you want to join the League to play competitively or Play Boardgames to play just for fun. (Competitive is fun too BTW)
Where are you from?
Hi, I’m Michel, living in the Netherlands. Mostly boardgaming and rp-ing the last 20 yrs, but have been a fanatic wargamer in my youth.
What Axis & Allies games do you like to play?
I own Pacific 1940 since about 10yrs, and unboxed it tonight :cold_sweat: only, to discover it as solitaire during the holidays. Main reason is no friend available or interested to play such long games.
How often do you play?
Well, I’m discovering the game, so that’s that. Not played any other wargame for years, played ASL, a lot of tactical games - Napoleonic to more recent - before the advent of computer or online games, e.g. Air Force, Dauntless, Submarine, Ambush!, The Great Patriotic War, Napoleon’s Last Battles, Panzerblitz, and more recently Britannia and the more abstract, less wargamy Shogun.
Do you use any customizations (tables, painted pieces) or house rules?
Nope, got to discover the game first… feel quite daunted at the complexity of the “open field”, infinite options, and “unit purchases”
After having read the rules and looked in vain for real-time recordings of games of Pacific 1940 2nd edition to get a realistic feel of how it all works, I am still confused… :anguished:
Glad I found this community and look forward to check game logs and other sources…
Hi @Hakuin,
Welcome to the forum:relaxed:
We have a few Axis & Allies members in Holland - in the town Urk.
If you are interested, I can ask our members to contact you.
They play Axis & Allies Global 1940 2nd Edition.
Captain
@The-Captain , thanks for letting me know !
I’m in Eindhoven. By US standards, close, by Dutch less so.
Let’s see :blush:
First I have to find my way through the forum and understand how to find archived games and view them :grimacing:
Hi @Hakuin Welcome to the site ! If you scroll down to " Play Online Axis & Allies Play Boardgames " You will find current and archived games.
The best way to view them, is with “triplea” https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/17147/gargantua-s-k-i-s-s-triplea-instructions/26
since the majority of games are played with it.
The Captain has a Game Reports thread for there Global 40 Mod which uses a lot of House Rules he and his Group of over 53 active members have come up with over the last 25 years, that shows non digital games as well.

Just want to drop a line here to acknowledge the incredible kindness and commitment of seasoned members pointing me at the support material, giving tips, and answering my newbie questions the past days, it is really amazing, what a great community !!!
Hello!
I started playing A&A with my friends dad, and I’m really liking it! I have been trying to beat him, but I don’t have any strategies. any you guys know I could use?
Welcome to the forum. :slightly_smiling_face:
Which game are you actually playing? Then look for strategies in the respective forum category. In case you don’t find what you are looking for ask there again.
But there will be a lot of good stuff waiting for you to discover…
Have fun :slightly_smiling_face:
Hi! I am living in Midlothian Va. near Richmond Va. I have a huge interest in WW2, especially global simulations. I prefer some of the newer mods, I am just getting into TripleA and I spent years developing my own game that is played on board for “The Wargame”. My rules eventually grew to 40 pages, but that includes the basic AxAly rules, pictures and at Times Roman 12 font. I am looking for anyone who wants to play most any version of Axis and Allies within about 50 miles. I look forward to discussions on WW II and game design. I have played a lot of games, but I am new to online. By the way I am 66.
