@thrasher1 I saved my Christmas money in 1995 and bought Axis and Allies.

RE: How many players from the 80s and 90s have we here?
@thrasher1 If I remember correctly the 2nd Edition Axis and Allies cost me around 60.00-70.00 dollars. At age 16 that was a lot of Christmas cash.

@The-Pripet-Martian said in What are you reading:
@ABWorsham4 The more I read, the more I learn that American neutrality pre-Pearl Harbor was extremely nuanced, to say the least. Very interesting stuff.
No doubt, escorts were taking an active role in the Battle of the Atlantic. American made jeeps, trucks, tanks and planes were operating in North Africa, firing munitions fabricated in the States.

RE: Favorite Christmas Gift
@general-kromwell I have a Christmas like that. My mother had became single and been disabled. We had a tree and no gifts underneath. I went to bed hoping that Santa would come.
In the morning I had two ninja turtle action figures. I was so excited, I had been preparing myself for no Christmas.
Years later my mother told me the story, of how that came to be.

RE: What are you reading
@ABWorsham4 I’m currently reading George Marshall, Defender of the Republic.
I finished Hitler’s Secret Pirate Fleet by James Duffy. Also I read a 1955 classic, The Secret Raiders by David Woodward. These two books finished my quest for knowledge of German Commerce Raiders.

Washed up WW2 history in Texas
Here is a great story of some World War II history that washed up on the Texas coast.

New Netflix WW2 documentary
World War Two: From the Frontline
This documentary is trash. Example: Poland, Germany invades, no mention of the Red Army invading from the East.
This documentary makes the B.E.F out driving Bren gun Carriers as main battle tanks.
This is high definition rubbish.

RE: Canada as the 7th ally
@Caesar-Seriona We play a homemade version of A&A that has Canada as it’s own nation, allied with Great Britain. The British Far East and ANZAC are Independent. The Communist in China are also represented. It’s a fun game.
The game also rolls for French territory and Navy units after the fall of Paris. With a D-20 dice, 1-4 goes to Allies, 16 -20 goes Germans, 4-10 is scuttled, 10-16 goes to Vichy France.

World War Two plastic models
Do any of you build plastic war models? I’m picking up the hobby.
I’m trying to get my paint knowledge better. I painted an Oscar (Ki-43 Japanese Army Fighter) that ended up looking like a FW-190. I was disappointed.

RE: Pick your Battle of Britain fighter
@Witt said in Pick your Battle of Britain fighter:
Has always been the 109E for me, probably slightly disappointing my loving RAF grandad!
The 109 is the most dangerous looking of the Battle of Britain fighters.

RE: Carl Weathers
His role as Dillon In Predator is my top role of his. He was part of the dream team hunting an Alien Trophy Hunter in the jungle. That made 13 year old me super excited.

Carl Weathers
It was a gut punch hearing that Carl Weathers passed away today.
What role comes to mind when you think of his characters? -
RE: Mussolini Invades Ethiopia
@SuperbattleshipYamato said in Mussolini Invades Ethiopia:
An interesting thing to consider would be the political implications. Had Italy not invaded Ethiopia, it might have been less likely for them to join the Axis, since the war was a big part of breaking Anglo-Italian relations.
Great point.

@SuperbattleshipYamato Can you imagine flying over the Channel in an Italian bi-plane?
