Newpaintbrush has met his match…

@djensen You could also possibly make support tiers based ons playable A&A nations that could display as country tags. For example, here is a mockup of a French country tag.

Just a neat idea if you’re considering to add more tiers. You could also do the same thing with game pieces if you wanted to.

nothing to serious but it’s starting to jack up again.

not triplea just when trying to access the site

@djensen

yes i’ve noticed time of day as well. Is fine currently. 7 pm Central US

What we really need is a really good feed of suggested topics and an email campaign to reveal them. Reddit absolutely mastered this. I used to be an occasional Reddit … then the emails came and they were relevant and fun and I enjoy getting that email. Actually, I mostly just go direct to Reddit now.

Looking back. I probably should’ve selected Discourse as the forum engine. The deployment strategy, at the time, was more complex than I wanted. I had a grudge against Ruby on Rails projects (kinda still do). But the UI was clean. I bet the API is cleaner and less breaking. Making another change might cause more churn though.

Best game for two players is 1942, by far.  There are not too many controlling powers in this game, 3 allies, and 2 axis, creating shorter rounds, and overall, shorter playing time.  It is especially good if you are just learning how to play, yet you want to get a good feel for Axis and Allies.  It also is probably the easiest to play for two players, not including 1941, just because I feel that is too easy.  Hope this helps!
