–-How long has you played and how much?
A friend introduced me to Classic about twelve years ago as I began grad school. I was hooked immediately. I bought Pacific (one of my favorites) and Europe soon thereafter. Finding people and the time to play has always been a problem however. I have probably only played 3 games of each of those three face to face in the last ten years. More recently, that same friend and I vowed to play more Axis and Allies. We decided to try playing by email or forum to increase the frequency at which we could play. He wanted to use the newer versions, so I bought Spring 1942. The rules excited me, as it was an improvement over Classic, but the board size and lack of playing pieces disappointed me. I printed up Imperious Leader’s 1942 map on banner last month. Now here I am, excited to play but very green. I hope to remedy that with experience! Hopefully my friend will start playing here on the forums soon as well, though his schedule is more limiting than mine.
–-I’ve been playing of and off for awhile. Â My first games were the Nova paper map and cardboard piece version with the atom bomb as a tech.
Atomic bomb was a tech? That’s awesome! I couldn’t figure out why it was never included. On the subject of tech, though, I think it is far too random, and far too expensive. I’m kind of glad it does not appear in Spring 1942.
Germany’s turn!
Btw, this is a lot of fun. Thanks for playing!
