@Bismark-Gambit Welcome to the forum!

The House Rules category is the best subforum to discuss House Rules. Enjoy!

@Bismark-Gambit Hey - I am from Alberta - now live in Phoenix. Where abouts in Alberta are you?

Hello All

My name is Wolz 44, from Alberta, Canada. Just getting back into playing Axis and Allies. Loved the game back in my younger days lol. Now after coming across some of these site, I am really liking the customization ideas. So i went down the rabbit hole to see all what you can do with it lol. Went out and picked up a bunch of paints, ordered some new pieces and decals and other materials to give this all a go. Made my first flight stand using 2 different sizes of Acrylic rods. Also hoping to get some advice that i might have later on.

Cheers
Wolz

Welcome!

There are a lot of talented people on this site, I am sure you will be able to get some great ideas.

@AndrewAAGamer Perfect thank you

Hello everyone,

My name is Neven, born in 1985, and I’m from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

I’m a big fan of strategy games. As a child, I had the chance to encounter Axis & Allies for the first time. Unfortunately, back then I didn’t really understand the rules, but I still vividly remember the fantastic map and the miniatures, they left a strong impression on me and stayed in my memory all these years.

Now, in my 40s, I recently rediscovered the game and felt that same excitement again. I’m a complete beginner in terms of actual gameplay, but I understand the basic rules and I’m very eager to learn more.

I would love to join the community, improve my skills, and take part in online games. I’m here to learn, have fun, and enjoy the strategic depth of Axis & Allies with other players.

Looking forward to playing with you!

Hi newenr

Welcome to the site !

Most people play with triplea https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/17147/gargantua-s-k-i-s-s-triplea-instructions/30

others play with 1942 online, although it is limited in the number of games you can choose from, it is still quite popular with a nice user interface.

Have Fun Gaming !

Edit
I believe some play with “Steam” as well but I am not familiar with that :)

Thank you, Bernie.

TripleA looks fantastic. I’ll wait for the weekend when I’ll have more free time, and then I’ll try to find a brave volunteer on the forum for an experimental game and my very first one.

The maps I’m most familiar with are Axis & Allies Pacific and Axis & Allies Europe 1940. I’m hoping there will be some players willing to spend a few of their hours helping a beginner like me get started :)

Looking forward to it!

@newenr85

Sweet I’m gonna switch to the triplea thread for some more info :)

Hi Neven,

Welcome to the Best & Biggest Axis & Allies site in the World.

The game mechanisms and most units in the Global 1940 version are identical to the Axis & Allies Classic and Revised editions.

Once you have become more familiar with the Global 1940 edition, we suggest that you study the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

When you have studied the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion we would like to invite you to Denmark to join our Northern European Axis & Allies Wiking-Con events.

Your travel costs will be refunded by us - Danish Axis & Allies Association.

Feel free to contact us anytime.

Hi everyone!
My name is Javier, I’m 18 years old and I’m from Spain. I’ve been a big fan of Axis & Allies for a while now, especially Axis & Allies Global 1940. Unfortunately, I don’t have as much time to play as I’d like, and I also don’t have a lot of money to buy games whenever I want, so I usually wait for my birthday or Christmas to get new ones.

One thing I really enjoy is thinking about and creating house rules for Global 1940—all kinds of ideas, from small balance tweaks to bigger changes. I’m also very interested in getting into the Global War system, especially Global War 1936, but I’m still not entirely sure about the best way to buy it or where to start.

I’m looking forward to learning from the community, sharing ideas, and hopefully contributing some house rules in the future. Any advice or recommendations are more than welcome!

I also wanted to ask how I can properly post topics or questions to the community. I’d really like to start conversations, work together with other players, and get help resolving doubts or improving ideas, so any guidance on how to do that would be greatly appreciated.

@newenr85

WELCOME!!!

It is always good to hear about another person’s love for this game.

@panzerlord1939

Getting Axis and Allies games for Christmas and Birthdays is the best!!!

@Stuka80 @newenr85 Welcome to the site, guys! This is a great community to hash ideas, find opponents, info, strategies, and customizations for your favorite A&A games.

@Stuka80, you asked about posting - go to the “categories” button at the top of this page:

…then scroll down to find your game, and fire away with the “New Topic” button. If it’s a house rule or customization, you can post your ideas in those two forums and then “tag” it with the game(s) you’re houseruling or customizing. Feel free to fire me or @Panther a DM if you have any more specific questions, and looking forward to chatting with you!

@panzerlord1939

Welcome to the site !

As Vodot posted, go to Customizations and then House Rules. I suggest checking out The Captain’s Expansion Mod. It has a pile of House Rules.

Hello all,

I am 48 years old, married, have a 9 year old daugther and we live in Germany, Bavaria, Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm (near Munich). I have been a gamer from my childhood on and bought and played all the “Spiel des Jahres” every year and more and we made some games (we could not buy) on our own too.
As a teenager/early twen I started also playing computer games and was looking for something more exciting and challenging than this eurogames and the good old “Risk”… would have something to play with more depth when it is about history, tacticts and strategy… and there it was - 1998 -

Axis&Allies from Hasbro Interactive for PC in the next computer shop… well… not so challenging with the weak AI after some games anymore…
… internet was to expensive to play multiplayer online these days… but hey… read then somewhere this PC game was an adaption of a famous boardgame… Milton Bradleys Gamemaster Series Axis&Allies!! What a boardgame for me and my friends,
these days not very common in our environment and our region… but finally we found and bought it… we played it day and night and after a while we started
to look for more boardgames for geeks and grognards. We have lots of games in the meanwhile!

With Internet becoming more popular and affordable I saw the DAAK, Deutscher Axis and Allies Klub, a great community and we organized a lot
of A&A tournaments and so on from year 2000 on… as well as buying everything we could get from A&A and playing it. (World at War, Accessories, Enhanced Rules,
Strafing Run Games Battle Cards and all the upcoming editions and varaints from AH, WotC, Hasbro, …).
Besides that I play also a lot of GMT and Compass Games boardgames, Larry Harris War Room of course too…
and besides WW2 mostly Napoleonic era, so I do also looking really forward to Larrys Imperial Borders which should be in the mail the next days!

Via the “A&A 1942 online” community and discord channel I saw than that Renegade Game Studios is licensing A&A Franchise few years ago, got the newsletter and facebook group, voted for A&A North Africa Campaign and voila… was trying to come into the playtesting group and was in the playtesting for North Africa and Stalingrad since then!!

Besides working as a product manager/technical trainer/instructional designer in machine techniques and playing a lot of boardgames
I do also taking care about my hometowns game library and weekly game days of the youth organization there as well as being part
of the team for running the yearly board game days here every November.

Was reading some articles and posts from time to time here, but never registered… dont know why…
… but as I do more online games, even of A&A Classic now, and want to join and post here, I decided to register finally now! :-)
It is a great pleasure to be in this community and to discuss and play with you ladies and gentlemen… looking forward learning more about you and about the game and having some fantastic hours togehter!!

Kind Regards
Primigenius / Rainer
