Learn how to play the original Axis and Allies Europe better. Follow along in my new series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSyrIwF7tX4

The intro video and the German strategy video are posted.

Hey everyone! Here are some photos of my G40 custom job. I built this to be relatable to all players and only added features to subtly enhance playability. Dress right dress and standardization were the order of the day.

List of features:

1. NO MOLD LINES (all pieces were carefully sanded with sanding twigs)
2. LOW COLOR NOISE (no special camouflage or distracting colors)
3. Infrastructure replaced with actual pieces (all painted white)
4. Capital ships have magnetized hulls to “carry” orange damage markers
5. Aircraft Carriers are magnetized to “carry” aircraft
6. Aircraft magnetized to flight stands using “pin drill” technique for perfect balance.
7. Aircraft wear period correct decals for ease of spotting on the board (my exception to “color noise” reduction)
   *8) Some units were replaced for historical accuracy. Used only AH or WotC pieces to maintain aesthetic integrity. (exc: China P-40, artillery)

@kwaspek104 @gamerman01 @VictoryFirst @DoManMacgee @Ragnell804 @Martin @elche

This is a new thread for the 2025 Classic tournament. I believe everything has been sorted out. What @Martin started last year has expanded with additional talent. You are all exceptionally talented and friendly players imo.

If there is any dispute let me or gamerman know and we will help get it resolved.

We’re playing
Classic, 2nd Edition with
Restricted Attack,
Can build in enemy occupied sea zone,
No Neutrals, and
tech turned on at Russia turn 4 to the end.

Sides are by agreement or bid as outlined by Gamerman.

Please report game results here.

If this tournament works out well (I feel strongly it will), I’ll open it up by advertising on Facebook and YouTube next year and give the G40 league a run for its money. Best of luck to you all. Have fun. Be cool.

Let’s push some plastic.

It’s more interesting to investigate how badly and why. All that and more in this video:

@CentralCommando I love this discussion. This is a lot of fun so please don’t take this the wrong way anybody, but my opinion is that solo play is not very helpful. In the fewest words, I never see anything new if I play myself.

In contrast, if it weren’t for @VictoryFirst I don’t think anyone would have found the “Finnish Fork” in Europe. Gamerman seems to have found a (perhaps) functional Pacific strategy in Classic that nobody has seen. Some of the best use and manipulation of the revolution rule in 1914 came from @DoManMacgee and on and on.

Just to take Hilltop as an example. I saw him play all those solo games of 1914 and then asked if he wanted to play a game. He obliged which was awesome. I took CP out of box and defeated him. I feel strongly I was able to do this thanks to experience (and can say more about this if needs be). Here is the file: O18.tsvg (BTW, Hilltop is a great human being on and offline)

Interested to hear other’s thoughts on that though. My mind isn’t completely made up on solo play.

An effective Pacific strategy in Axis and Allies Classic?

@gamerman01 @Ragnell804 @dawgoneit @Martin and myself are all in for 2026 tournament

@VictoryFirst @leemorrison @elche have yet to report in.

We’re playing
Classic, 2nd Edition with
Restricted Attack,
Can build in enemy occupied sea zone,
No Neutrals, and
tech turned on at Russia turn 4 to the end.

Sides are by agreement or bid as outlined by @gamerman01.

I’d like to start after Valentine’s Day weekend if that is cool with @gamerman01. This will give me time to advertise on YouTube and Facebook. If you know anyone who wants to play please link them to this thread and have them post that they’d like to play. I will link this thread on Facebook and on my YT announcement video.

Have fun. Be cool.

Punchline: TripleA is the most efficient online platform on which to play Axis and Allies. This allows players to play more games with the added benefit of playing a variety of opponents. More games against different opponents means a far more diverse range of experience which makes the AnA player more lethal in all his future games…including those played face to face.

@VictoryFirst
