👋 Introduce or Re-Introduce Yourself (Current)

Hello all! I’m from the USA- Colorado specifically- but I currently live and work in China. I’ve been playing Axis and Allies for quite a while, ever since I found my dad’s old version as a kid and became fascinated with the little army units. I remember my father and I being very excited when the first version with Artillery and Destroyers came out- we played a lot of that version!

I’m most familiar with the 1942 second edition and 1940 global second edition, but I also use TripleA to play a variety of other official and non-official versions.

I don’t get the chance to play in person very often anymore, so I’m very interesting in joining some games or even a league here on the forums.

I do sometimes do house rules or different setups, especially if I feel a version is imbalanced. But I’m usually happy to play OOB too. I also dabble in making my own maps. Not sure if that’s something people do on the forums, but so far I have a custom 1942 and global 1940 that are essentially finished, and a WWI global map in the works.

Welcome to the site @Privatefirstclass
You’re gonna like it here :)

Since you enjoy modified versions of A&A, I suggest checking out @The-Captain 's mod of the Global 40 game.

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37535/the-captain-s-global-1940-house-rules-collection

has many new units and has been developed over decades by the “Danish Axis and Allies Association”. Their members include ex and current Military, Academics, Tradesman and Gamers from all walks of life.

I think you will enjoy it :)

You can also play it online using triplea

Also, you might want to use some paragraph breaks in your posts in the furure. It will make it easier to read :)

@barnee Thank you!

My original post was unplanned. My intent was to look up the aforementioned content and so I registered and then posted my introduction as suggested by the introductory information once I was registered. I thought it would be more succinct and then forgot to make it more reader friendly when I finished.

I suppose I could go back and edit it. I already did to correct a date so why not?

I’ve seen much discussion about the online version. I’ve been playing PC RPGs for ~25yrs and have become increasingly frustrated with technical issues that I am ill-equipped to navigate even with copious amounts of research and attempts to follow very “simple” directions that “even a caveman could follow”. It’s nothing against the content creators, mind you. I am the one who is ill-equipped. :^)

That’s partly why I’ve returned to “older technology” to scratch my itch and who knows what the future holds for our current technology.

I’ll take a look at some of the other House Rules as you suggest.

Peace, +Pfc

Hey, what’s happening? I’m Josh, from SE Michigan Macomb County, looking to get back into gaming. I’m playing Axis & Allies online on Steam. I’m reading the rule book to learn to play again, as it’s been a minute. I don’t use anything to customize the game. I’m also looking to play the board game

@MrMorbid Welcome to the forum :-)

@MrMorbid

Hi Morbid

I don’t see a steam thread but I’ve heard it mentioned. It might have just been for Global War 36 though. Anyway, try making a new topic here for steam players. https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/65/play-online-axis-allies

Also, you can play online with triplea https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/17147/gargantua-s-k-i-s-s-triplea-instructions/30

Which version of the game do you prefer ?

Have Fun Gaming

Here is the respective forum category to discuss the game itself:

Of course you can play the TripleA-variant, too, as @barnee said.

@Panther

Oh I didn’t know the 42online was a steam thing :) I’m not real familiar with steam :)

Well cool you got him dialed in :)

@Privatefirstclass hi there! I love g40 as well. Whereabout upstate are you? I am on Long Island.

Greetings all! My name is Rob and I am from Suffolk County, NY. Looking for people to play with in person. My favorite version of the game is Global 1940 2nd ed. That being said I have recently expanded beyond 1942 on Steam (mostly thanks to TripleA).

I am amenable to a few hours travel to play, as well as offering to host (later this year as I have a baby arriving soon). I see there are a few people in upstate NY here, hopefully some closer! Would love to join you all in person!

@docwhiskey

Hi doc
Welcome to the site ! Congrats on the soon arriving new family member :)

Since you enjoy Global and play triplea as well, I think you would like @The-Captain 's G 40 mod

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36945/axis-allies-global-1940-house-rules-expansion

There’s a half dozen or so of us that play on triplea and The Captain’s Group from Denmark has over 100 members for in person play.

Although Long Island is closer than most of the US to Denmark, probably still too far to tarvel for a weekend game :)

Have fun gaming

Hi all!

I’ve played A&A for years, but sparingly as time opportunity presents itself.

I’ve just started playing the online game again, and a Pacific version. I also do miniature wargaming and various sports.

Regards,
Trevor

@Glamorboy Welcome to the forum :-)

@Glamorboy Welcome from a fellow newer member. Enjoy yourself.

@Nuts Welcome, fellow newer players! I hope everyone is having a good time here.

Hello! I am “re-introducing,” first became a member back in 2009, I am uncertain when I began playing A&A, early 1980’s, still have the Nova though mainly just used when I take pics of minis. I had completely tricked out/detailed the A&A50th some years after its release - so that it was mobile as I worked for months at a time abroad. The set took major causalities about 12 years ago, half destroyed and many pieces MIA. But we can rebuild, stronger, faster - I have almost completed redoing the set, this time with a custom map and new customizations! Can you tell I’m enthusiastic about it? eh eh eh In the distant past I had done commissions for museums and some gaming companies - started to post my A&A anniversary set here, but I reached my limit before even completing the infantry - but a few good G.I.'s were able to get a foothold. Had planned to post others.

Situated and taken up residence some years ago - now room for a larger map and have gathered the armies that were stored here and there. And - recovered my login here, good stuff.

PS: Oh -that’s my late father as my profile photo, WWII tanker, Sherman.

@Viracocha Welcome back :-)

@Viracocha @Panther welcome back, seconded.

@djensen my name is Tony from Ohio. I have been playing A&A for around 4 years. I absolutely love it. I really enjoy playing 1940 Europe or the 1940 Global. Just bought NA and I am hooked. I’m on the online game through the mobile app under Comrade Short almost daily. I play the physical game every 1-2 months with the guy who taught me to play. He painted the Italians cardinal red and China yellow. For House Rules. I’ve played with different IPC value and created a Fast Fleet Oiler that allows Sea units to travel 3 spaces. Hope to meet some fellow combatants who love this great game!

Hi @tmshort34
