@Cernel I’ll give you my impression of what is meant here.

First, a human easily read and interpret the rules usually correctly. I know there’s a lot of Q&A around certain rules but once you kinda get the gist, you can figure out how to handle all the corner cases relatively easily.

Second, for the less experienced players of A&A, how to you create a user experience to “explain” and enforce these corner cases so that it is as or more simple than a face-to-face gamer opening the rule book?

After talking with Beamdog and Trent, they know the rules. But if they missed something and it’s not already on the to do list, that’s what Early Access is for. Also keep in mind that knowing all the rules and catching those corner cases in software are two different things; the rule book is good for people but a terrible great software specification .

Unit colors:

Pink - USSR
Purple - Germany
White - UK
Indigo - Japan
Sky Blue -USA

Somebody will have to design a new map.

Not sure what the house rules will be yet but here’s the cover art. Maybe there’s a Delorean involved somehow?

Maybe these?

• Event Planner or Events
• Beamdog
• WotC

Maybe this would be like the Twitter “verified profile” badges.

I think this is a slightly different topic from the one I started but I still want to consider the idea.

We have “Official Answers” for Axis & Allies rules. But what about the other super-boosters or other affiliates in our community? I think they should have badges too but I don’t know what it should be.

• Greg Smorey @smo63 (could have Official Answers but I don’t think he wants that “responsibility” )
• @Gargantua
• @Young-Grasshopper
• Julius Borisov of Beamdog @JuliusBorisovBeamdog

I think some of the WotC folks are here too. They probably lurk more than anything.

@DoManMacgee @Panther The TripleA team does a great job but it’s TripleA, it’s Axis & Allies but it’s also not Axis & Allies because it’s not allowed to be. TripleA is great for the die hards, the A&A obsessed, the experts, and the soon to be experts.

Axis & Allies Online provides accessibility for a much wider audience, which also includes TripleA players. There are a lot of folks out there who have not played a digital version of A&A since Iron Blitz. I would previous send them in the direction of TripleA and never heard back. Even when I would post to social media about TripleA, there was a lot of talk but there were very few takers. With AAO, you get Steam (if you don’t already have it), send $20 and you’re up and running; it’s easy, known, and comfortable.

Lastly, there are just not that many people here playing 1942 SE here anymore, everybody is on Global and Anniversary.

@Patchman123 Oh, I fixed the table in the sense that it previously didn’t look like a table, just a lot of ||||| characters between things. It didn’t look pretty like it does now.

Sounds like fun and good luck!
