What ABworsham said about New Guinea reminded me of a unforgetable Risk game me and my friends played. There were 4 of us and we were playing standard risk but with diplomacy rules. You could ally with someone and make a team. That way the game was interesting. So me and my ally were the two best players in our group. “Strategically Gifted” so to speak. Well we carved out our territorys the frontline somewhere in Asia and Brazil. And of course Greenland. He controlled Brazil and our Asiatic territories so he was stretched thin. I on the otherhand placed all my troops in one territory. So i figured I could push my opponents out of…… <shudder>Iceland… I pushed my troops forward. After a heated battle of dice rolls I won. But at a terrible cost. My army was weakened to the breaking point. My enemy pushed on into N. America and with myeslf having to hold more territories and my ally already stretched thin from pushes on his front we broke and our armies crushed. It was one of the greatest strategic failures of my life. However it effected all of us. To this day when one of us is planning a major assault or is getting to cocky for his own good all we have to do is utter is five words. Remember the Battle of Iceland?</shudder>

Agreed with Spartan. I think us and germany should get 2, uk gets 1, su, non, italy 1, and france 1 maybe non.

This game looks great! I’m a big fan of the smaller campaigns that you never hear much about. I don’t think we’ve seen enough Italians or French. I’m also a big fan of Express Game: Battle for Greece. Looks good Spartan. If you are going to make another one I suggest the Winter War. It’s an interesting period in history. Also if not that Stalingrad would have me crapping my pants. I love Russians!

I love these research facility rules. I think that research is to hard to get to have it make an impact on the game. And some of these things are cool. Who wouldn’t want subs attacking on a 3! Besides to have a decent chance of getting a technology you have to roll 6 dice! Thats way to expensive for me. I must try these rules sometime.

I’m sorry but i dont quite understand you. Where I come from people don’t even remotely associate eager and supporting. By eager I mean I’m ready to learn and help in anyway I can. And don’t mind by me pointing out it appears you are quite new yourself.

Hey like said in the post above I’m new to the forums and to Axis and Allies as well. I’ve owned 1942 for a year or two and have never gotten to play it (besides a few solo games versus myself-dont judge me) cause my friends arn’t very patient. Also i recently purchased Europe 1940. I’ve been snowed in for 2 days and still got 4 days left of free time. So if someone could let me join a game as a supporting role (I wouldn’t mind playing Italy) that would be more than fantastic. Please let me know soon.
