Axis & Allies .org 2020 Support Drive

So, I think I’m going to push this out another several months. To celebrate 25, I think I just want to get back into the swing of things. Maybe do a giveaway. Go to a bunch of events. And play lot’s of A&A. Be more active here.

It may be an open secret but I just don’t play a ton of A&A these days.

However, I really, really enjoyed playtesting Stalingrad last Fall. I played som D-Day with @The_Good_Captain recently. Two games in a row; first one he shut me out. Second one was closer but he won hands down. Despite the loss, it was awesome. The next day @rmorel and I played Anniversary edition with Dale (not sue if he’s here), my dice were on fire but even if they were not; it was a great time.

I’m going to do more of that. Work on the website. Run an event at GenCon, etc.

You can also use the search box for Barbarossa.

@djensen Just spent 10 days there, I even bought a home planning to spend winters when I become rich, jaja. No issues for me to move there to play or any other reason, so we have at least Rubi and myself.

Everyone,

I’m more than happy to do my small part to help out this great forum,…A&A.Org.

I’ve gotton much more Fun, Knowledge, Opinions(good & bad), and Fellowship here than I’d ever hoped for.

“Tall Paul”

I would be happy to pay $30 for a nice polo (short sleeved, preferably with pocket but not required, and in a dark or earth tone color).  Embroidered rather than decal or screen print (embroidery is now actually pretty cheap, for small chest emblems it is usually cheaper than screen print)

Just let me see a pic in advance, and give me an addy to send my check.

@rjclayton:

What are the differences between 3rd and 2nd Editions?

If you are familiar with the 1998 CD version, that is the start of 3rd edition (or had 3rd edition options).

Some changes are, submerging retreating subs, air units can retreat from amphib assualts, Wcan no longer boarders the Atlantic.

2 hit BBs were introduced, although I think that was just and extra option.
Always active AA’s, I think just another option.

@cyan:

what happened to 1st edition?

I’m not too familiar with 1st edition, it was before my time.  I started playing in the mid 80’s and it was already 2nd edition.

From my understanding 1st edition had some different multinational rules (possibly attacking) and new IC’s had no production cap.  So a common strat would be UK build and IC on Per and just strat pumping out units.

You could try that on one of the Uberforum.

What about creating fora under the A&A forum for general ?s like …

Mixed land/air unit moves Mixed land and sea unit moves
Maybe just mixed air/land/sea unit moves
and Aircraft Carriers(CV/CA) Anti-Aircraft(AA) Fighters(ftr/ftrs) Transports(trn/trns)

just a few examples … :-? :)
