Help me play

I created a rule deck, its very detailed, yet very easy to understand, things are broken down into simple stages. Even if you don’t print the deck, you can read it.

@talonz:

Having not played 39/40, are you looking for more room for pieces on the map, or more territories on the map to play within?

Both, but predominantly more territories. Again, maybe experience would prove me wrong and (a little bit) bigger is not better, but I would like to try it. Without having played, I like the territory layout of G39 better, but prefer the aesthetics of G40.

@talonz:

I wonder how much printing this out will cost….

YoungGrasshopper was printing his modified G40 for about $150. I don’t recall if he was resizing it, but it was at least $150 for him. He also lives in Canada, so there might be a very slight price difference. I am sure your local print shop could give an estimate if you asked.

@talonz:

Next step will be finalizing my rules and deciding on what pieces to use.

Seems like the map is most important and the rest will fall in place or evolve as time goes on. Pieces and rules can always be added or subtracted. Spaces on the gameboard; not so much.

You should send a PM to CaptainJack.  I know he uses TripleA on his Mac.  I don’t know of any other A&A players that use Mac’s.

@Jennifer:

Also, don’t minimize/Maximize the screen often if you can avoid it.

I think this is what did it to me (maximizing).

I saw them in Toys R Us the last time I was thru there (but that is about the same as ordering online to me.) Try your local comic/gaming shop. If they don’t have one they would probably order one for you. Many stores like that keep a copy on the shelf.

Greetings all,

Yesturday I read the rules for Axis and allies and I finished my first game today at the Allies (playing my brother who beat the living daylights outta me). Anyways, I am familiar with Diplomacy PBEM (www.redscape.com I’m Blitzkrieg) and I am interested in playing A&A online.

So… if anyone is willing to play a game with me, or four players if you please, I would love to go. I do not know, however, about opening bids (i’ve heard them mentioned as I fish around this site for info) and a couple other tid bits that I don’t yet comprend. The ideal situation would be 1 experianced player and me and 3 other newbies possibly so that we can be babied through a quick game to get the feel? I could trade dip lessons for A&A lessons :D.

Any takers?? Anyone?? We don’t have to play a game but I’m very interested in learning to play A&A PBEM.

Blitzkrieg

Have you been able to play on the MSN Gaming Zone with directx9.0 using the technique you describe?

Unlimited IC factory in some places is great, like Brazil for instance. However, I think it’s pushing it by placing an unlim. IC in French West Africa since USA can reach it on their 1st-2nd turn. Maybe relocating it to Egypt would be a better as it gives the Germans the advantage of holding Africa a bit longer but at greater cost. Also placing an extra UK inf in Egypt might deter the Germans from taking until the 2nd turn. It’ll be a repeat of the great battle of El Alamein between Rommel and Montogomery. And this time maybe the Brits won’t outnumber the Germans at least 2 to 1.
