I also thought of that. I think that’s a good idea.

I was sixteen years old; it was the Christmas of 1996. I had been playing Risk and heard stories of a WWII game called Axis and Allies. I found the game at Toys-R-Us. My dad thought I was crazy paying over fifty dollars for a board game, but he did like the picture of Rommel on the front cover.

I was Germany my first game. Five of us played. I remember attacking capturing all of Africa. My friend’s father gave up saying the game was too long for his taste.

I wonder what your dad would have thought if he’d known that, a few years in the future, a two-part Global 1940 game costing about three times as much would come on the market, and I wonder what your friend’s dad would have thought if he’d known that this Global 1940 game would take about three times as long to play.

He would just shake his head in disbelief. Dad is very cheap.

This is a good place to plug Gencon–taking a trip to do your hobby seems crazy until you actually do it because your peer group is people who did the same thing.

This type of game always has a limited audience but that doesn’t mean that you can’t keep things going.  Right now the KC club is working on playtesting some mods, doing a few games a month, hashing out new strategies and setups.  If you build it and look for the community, its there.

I talk by email and phone to quite a few of the guys I’ve met here I consider them kindred spirits and friends.  One thing I brought up is War Room, but many of the guys consider it a different kind of game, another “all dayer” that may not really compete with AxA because its so different.

Boones is closest to any type of wine selection.  :?

Though rediculously far away from the Portuguese 6 grapes port I drink.
You get good n ripped sipping at this delicious fortified wine… similar to wiskey and ice.

A sweet honey wine I make that tastes like Boones sweetness, with a extra level of kick. Is another option that can, possibly convert a few to the “Boones” vote  :-D

No, even if we assume it’s their “oh my god” type thing, it’s still annoying as hell how many damn times they say it. Also, in the second video that’s a T-55 and they actually don’t hit it, they hit the truck behind it, so really, that tank survived many allah snackbars.

Not the exact same, but same principal.

If it’s annoying then don’t watch the video?  Not sure what to tell you, but you’re an adult and should be able to figure it out.

Well that’s just some ground breaking advice right there. Or I’ll still watch them and complain about it. But it doesn’t bother me half as much as the amount of hip fire that goes on in these conflicts does lol  :-P

I have pretty much every version from 2nd Edition right the way to 1942, but would really like to start expanding the size of my game boards. I know of a number of companies that can do this but will first require a large image (in PDF format preferably).

Has anyone produced any large sized images of the game boards for printing? If so where can I procure them??
