Stop the presses: Glemax has Axis and Allies revised… finally!

@redrum I am very short on time as I am leaving until Sunday so please allow me to simply point you to this thread, where all of this has been discussed and clarified in depth:
https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/989/aa-revised-minor-bug
We have a Github issue for this here: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/4133

Thank you for your understanding.

@FieldMarshalGames:

I personally like Revised better, because of the NOs (optional rules at back of book) can change up the game play.

I would like to play Revised with the NOs, but update the naval rules to 1942.

Buy 1942 for the extra pcs and the Cruisers…  play Revised IMHO.

You can try these for AA42:  http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=20053.0  and http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=15052.0  for NOs and NAs.

I just had a game where my friend conceeded after Russia’s second turn. Total time was a little over an hour. The game before that, same teams, took us about 12 rounds and over ten hours.

Hello all,

I am an Axis and Allies player from years ago and was recently gifted the revised version. This has reawakened my interest in the game and it’s nice to see some others who still enjoy it. I read about the triplea client and have also been using that to brush up on my skills.

I was thinking about joining some online games but a lot don’t seem that friendly to people who don’t know acronyms or have different expansion sets. Are there only really experienced players online? Also, does anyone know how to host a game? I tried to but it said there was something up with my router or firewall. I have no idea what that means :)

It’s great to see that there is still a lot of love for the game out there.

I like GameTableOnline.  The design aesthetics and ease of game play are superior to TripleA.  Plus there’s a nice variety of novices and experts.

But in TripleA’s favor, it offers save/edit and bidding, which are great features for a highly competitive game.

Btw you can’t host on TripleA if you haven’t enabled port forwarding for TripleA.  GameTableOnline doesn’t have this issue–anyone can host.

i have this as well. But its a HUGE file. in GB not MB…

if you got something in sections use media fire and provide links and ill put them together seamlessly and post or mail to you.

I plan on doing AA50 as well like this.

@tekkyy:

Yeah I think over time the rules will become more logical.

Depend on which post you read (at harrisdesign) LHTR 2.0 was just short of some changes.
To me it should have been called LHTR 1.4 or something.

There are reasons (that will become quite evident eventually) why an thorough edit good was embarked upon and put forth as v2.0.

You know, I used the same reason at a bar posing as a government agent.

“Young miss, there are reasons - that will become quite evident eventually - why you must remove your underwear right here right now.”  8-)

“Orly?”  :?

“Yarly.  We is teh gub-mint.  We don’t lie.”  8-)

“Uhm, okay?”  :|

No change, that is a legal move.

@Jennifer:

Good idea Switch.  Now if we only had one of those boards like in the Avalon Hill Bookshelf games that folded down into an 8 X 10 inch size so you could put it in a tray underneath the organizer!

Go to your local print shop, have a duplicate board printed (perhaps 20% to 30% larger to make Europe a little less cluttered), have it laminated while there (my local print shop charged me $7.00 to copy my board at same-size, and lamintaion would ahve been $13, but I only made teh copy for “Wall Art” in my office at work).

Then, to the top of your drawer organizer, add a couple of velcro straps to hold the rolled game board.  Add a few nice weights to hold teh board flat when unrolled to one o fhte drawers and PRESTO!  a 1 handle, easy to carry, and totally organized AAR set.  (You could also just add a vinyl pouch to the back of the organizer with a size large enough to hold teh 6-fold game board…)
