Update August 4, 2008: Avalon Hill has decided to shut down Gleemax.

Several weeks ago Avalon Hill launched an online version of Axis & Allies Revised Edtion on the Wizards of the Coast Gleemax Alpha portal site. It wasn't until recently that I had the opportunity to log on and try out a game. The following article is feedback that I have about the Gleemax Axis & Allies board game.

First off, if you have not checked your calendar, Origins is ONLY 5 weeks away.

Now, I have had a few requests, questions, concerns regarding the Event # for events I will be running at Origins. The easiest way to help solve this problem is to give you a copy of all the events and the event numbers as I see it.

For the early US turns a lot is going to depend on your overall Allied strategy and what the UK is doing. To start the game the US doesn't have much to do in terms of combat but you want to make sure you buy the right units and start to move your forces into a more useful position.

Since there probably won't be much to do in combat and you will spend most of your turn backing up the other Allies, I'll go into a little more detail about some possible purchases.
