I like the way you phrased that, rather than saying “My friend and I drink while playing”. It sort of implies that Axis & Allies is an accompanying activity which makes the primary activity of drinking more fun. There’s probably a potential marketing concept there for the folks at WotC.
A: 96 Panthers ( 2nd year in league, end of story )
B: 03 Panthers should have won! We were better than them, but all the Brady-ites messed it up!
C: 09 Panthers ( Delhomme’s fault )
D: 05 Panthers ( Injuries fault )
E: 06 Panthers ( Slinkey Weinke’s fault )
F: 11 Panthers ( Schedule Maker’s fault )
I dallied with it for a little while some years ago. I have a drum set and have casually played (although not in some months due to lack of space) for some years.
The discussions for that version are under “Axis and Allies”, and covers both the ORIGINAL version, 2nd Edition (that you have) and 3rd Edition (with rule modifications from the 1998 Hasbro CD)
