*Did you visit any historical sites? Tell us.

Any updates? Kind of odd nothing has been said in some time. Unless I’m overlooking it.

Seeing my older brother every Christmas after he left to go live with his dad. My older brother died about 9 years ago short one year of his 50th birthday. No Christmas gift can ever replace him.

@Lightning-II where at in Raleigh?

This game is awesome! Ignore the haters! In my humble opinion, Germany should be given more resources for the chaps who pursue Europe First. Or implement house rule that says a certain portion of every turn’s IPCs must also be used purchasing resources to only be used in the Pacific.

@Curtmungus your honor of being more famous than me is quite deserved. I salute you.

@Witt you need to brush up on your military history.

Richard. Hands down. No contest. Make Britain Angevin Again!

I know it’s been discussed before here. However, seems like a popular set-piece battle. I think it would be more fun and easier to play than Bulge, D-Day, and Guadalcanal. Just my two cents. Could the game be made more in line with ‘normal’ play and rules and not just have “Axis and Allies” slapped on the front cover? Your thoughts?

@abworsham4 I know I was under 10 years of age. I received a nice bike. Parents were poor. Still means a lot to me.

You want a war? I’ll give you a war…

Would be nice if Larry Harris did it as his swan song. I think it could be a great game.

Spring 1942, alternative universe, somewhere in the Philippines. My best video yet! Bigger, better, and badder. Come watch GI Joe defend the Philippines from Cobra, the Japanese, and even the Communists. Stay cool, stay brave, and stay Joe. Mabuhay.

Thank you so much for this update. That thread is one I’ve been following behind the scenes for years. I can’t believe Larry Harris didn’t do more to improve this stand alone game.

@domanmacgee Good advice. I guess I’m old school, then, hehe. I prefer the 1st Edition for two reasons. I honestly like it. And, it’s all I have time for right now in my life. I do like the new school games. They look really fun.

Does any one else collect one-sixth scale action figures and diaromas? I’d love to hear about it and see people’s collections. I have a huge collection of figures, vehicles, and diaromas-most of them never seen on camera.

I created a story line of an alternative WW2 universe, somewhere in the Philippines. It takes place in Spring 1942, hehe. Sound familiar? Think Scooby-Doo meets GI Joe. I’ll attach an old video I did some type back. My editing skills have greatly increased, but I’ve got little alone time with my hobby because of young kids. My wife finally said I had to stop collecting GI Joes, haha.

I’ll try to make a video of what’s on my supper table right now. It’ll blow your mind. Anyways, mabuhay.

Enjoy

@amp12 What were you doing with these Allied countries in Europe at the same time? Just curious.

If Russia is aggressive in its first move, all things considered, it’s game over for the Axis. It’s why I favor a house rule that forces the USA to spend a certain amount of money in the Pacific Theater-and units purchased can only be used in that theater of operations…

@andrewaagamer Hehe, thanks, friend. I’m trying to be glass half-full and humorous in my elder age. I wish my real name was Oliver Cromwell. He is my favorite general. I go back and forth as my favorite politician and statesman. However, I’ve promised myself to make no political comments on this site. Be on the lookout for posts I’llmake about my hobby. It’s real cool stuff, hehehe. I love playing Axis and Allies. But, hard to do with kids now.

I always make sure the USA buys a certain amount of IPC’s against Japan. And those purchases can only be used against Japan. It gives a more authentic feel to the game. And it makes yhe Allies fo something else than Europe 1st every move.
