@Panther Any idea why this thread is locked? Was this just imported as locked or was it recent?

@Daen-Hudspeth About 4-6 years ago there was a kickstarter for bluetooth dice. You would roll and the results when to your tablet or phone. Neat idea, it didn’t take off.

What’s QoL? Quality of Life?

Wonderful news! Thank you!

Also, I’m considering a special edition sticker for all the patrons this year! I just need to figure out the logistics for those outside of the US.

Thanks for all the support. I’m super backed up on assigning badges; new job. But I do very much appreciate the support and I’ll get to it soon!

It looks highly unlikely that you’re going to post spam so please share!

Thanks everybody. The most important contributions are the ones that happen at the beginning of the year from January to April. The bank account effectively goes to zero at the beginning of the year so you and the site sponsors help get that back in the black quickly.

January 2020 marks the 20th year that this website has been in operation. I would like to say thank you to everybody who has made this possible.

2020 Goal is 99 Patrons

Current patrons: 14

Welcome to the 2019 Axis & Allies .org support drive. We hope you’re enjoying the new forums!

We do understand that’s it’s not perfect yet, but the new forums provide tons of new and useful features like mobile ready, chat, drafts for posts, better search, and more. On top of that we’re making changes and fixing problems every day to make it work exactly how you want.

Take a look at the migration to do list and the update log to see all the hard work that has happened and all of the tasks yet to do.

Hosting costs have gone up for the new forums. The monthly hosting bill is about 50% higher than previously. On top of that email costs have gone up; however, now you all are finally receiving all the email alerts.
