Hard to concentrate on the play by forum games….

Ah! Now I see it

I think the issue with this is there aren’t really a lot of “pitched battles” in the Revolution. I think this would need to be more on the lines of the AH “Battlecry” or DOW’s “Memoir '44” based on the commands and colors “engine.”

Maybe the producers are making political points ?

The 2nd URL link points out that the book is written in 1996, and the producers related their show to US presidential administrations that did not yet exist at publishing time.

Depending on where you live you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding a comic book shop or card shop or dedicated game shop that would have a copy of something on the shelf. There isn’t really a national game store franchise. It is mostly just some guy with a store or maybe a regional concern with four or five shops.

My local shop usually gets one copy for anyone who’s a regular who asks and one for the shelf when a new version comes out. Typically though he doesn’t replace that till Christmas shopping season but will order one for you with a small deposit. The markup on these games isn’t very high so you probably aren’t going to go to one shop and find a copy of everything.

Toys R’ Us probably has copies of ‘42 and maybe a decent chance of Guadalcanal or a less decent chance of BOTB. I’d think it pretty slim to find a copy of Pacific or Europe at Toy R’ Us given the price point.

Try your yellow pages under hobby, or games, or comics. Also you might try something like www.comicshoplocator.com and give your closest shop a call. You might also try something like this Days of Wonder Store Locator. Someplace that sells games like that is likely to have a copy or two of Axis and Allies.

Something like this might help.

It is pretty big. I really don’t think I need the whole TB but it was on sale and I had $25 bucks in rewards certs from Best Buy so it was pretty cheap compared to even the other 1TB drives and per gig cheaper than the 500GB drives.

I’m still kind of having trouble wrapping my head around it really. I remember my Dad bringing home those giant serving platter sized ‘floppies’ that were something like 16KB.

I’m still a little freaked by my 30GB iPod with video.

:-D

@dezrtfish:

Randy Johnson got an infield single yesterday against the O’s. That brings his average up to .103. I love to watch that guy run the bases! He reminds me of Bigbird.

And while I’m on the subject Schilling has a batting average of .268 not to bad for a pitcher!

The Giants will be here on the 4th I might catch that one myself.

Where are you sitting? I got reserved tier or something at yankees stadium.

I got ****ing lucky. First turn, Germany and Japan each take no casualties in initial attacks, Germany has enough stuff to hold eastern Europe. Third turn - Germany attacks Ukraine with like 10 infantry and a boat load of fighters, gets no hits, and 7 out of my 9 infantry hit. By turn 7 Germany was daed
and he conceeded. Japan was still in Yakut.
