AAA (Axis and Allies Anonymous)

[Guest]

I’m a platic piece junkie and A&A is at the top of my list.

Hi, I’m gamer, and I chose an appropriate name for myself.
I’m just a hopeless game addict, and I was born that way.  I remember begging my Mom for quarters to play video games, and I was always looking for arcades and trying to get to my friends’ houses where they had video games.  If I do not have an opponent, I enjoy playing both sides of a game.  Many games are actually well suited for this, including, yes, A&A.
I just love coming up with strategies, so yes, I am pretty into A&A lately.  It’s funny, I didn’t really play it for years and years (I own “classic”) but my old A&A archnemesis from 1993 got me back into it last Thanksgiving.  All he did was ask me what I thought about the game between he and his brother, who were playing Revised.  I didn’t even know Revised existed at the time.  I told them I couldn’t really tell, what with the different map and everything (I had nothing to look at - we were at a family get-together)
You know what happened next, right?  My ambitious nephew wanted to play a game against me for old time sake and he managed to find AAR at GTO.  I played that for awhile, but jeez you can’t even go to the bathroom or eat away from hte computer for like 5-6 hours because of the timers. 
Then I think I stumbled on these boards, and discovered the AA50 game.  I ordered it immediately, and boy am I glad I did.  I’ve had a couple face-to-face games, but mostly had to play, you guessed it, yours truly. 
I haven’t had to play against myself since I discovered the play by forum was actually a very viable option!  The AA50 map is beautiful!  The only thing that would be better is if Germany was black like in the board game.

By the way, I don’t want help here at AA Anonymous. 
Not yet.  Maybe after my wife gets really ticked off because she wants to spend some time with me, I might have to come back for her.  But I’ll never really change.  I was born this way, and I’ve learned it’s useless to resist.
I own - my original classic A&A game that I made a special 90 mile 1-way trip to get when I was about 17.
Anniversary edition.
I will probably buy the new ones - Pacific and Europe.  I was about to say it depends on what they cost, but it really doesn’t  :-P

I have:
(1) AA50
(1) AAA Europe
(1) AAA Pacific

and one of IL’s maps that I now investing $1000.00 in metal, plastic, chips, label, dice to make this 47" X 94" map beautiful!

Title of this thread should be more like:  BRAGGING RIGHTS!  WHO IS THE BIGGEST NERD?

Axis and Allies Classic: ~1, missing a bunch of the pieces
Axis and Allies Anniversary Edition: 1, played ONCE one month after I bought it, been collecting dust since, haven’t really played any since the PBF AA50 tech tournament on the boards here, haven’t been able to play at all since Hasbro/WoTC shut down TripleA, can’t find RL opponents willing to devote entire days/weeks to boardgame sessions, going to try to hold an AA50 game sometime in the next few months with my old AAClassic buddies from high school, will see how it goes.

Any people out there who like AA50 in the Austin, San Marcos TX area?  Probably not.

I know an easy way for you to make a couple hundred bucks.

@cts17:

I’d say…

I’ve only got Axis and Allies: Europe and Axis and Allies: Anniversary Edition, but I’ve only just discovered A&A a year ago! It’s all I can think of… I have a permanent station in my family’s basement, fully laid out and everything. I’m only 15 as well.
My friend and I will probably become fullfledged A&A addicts within several years  :|

last words are true :-D
people should start recruitement station for young AAA players :-D

@thetoof:

Wow, I do not belong here

I only have 1 copy of AAR, 1 copy of AA42 and one copy of AA50, but damnit if I don’t think about playing Axis and Allies a couple dozen times a day, hell I keep AA42 in my car just in case someone wants to play me while I’m on the road! I may not be hardcore, but I get withdrawls just the same.

Welcome, thetoof.

The first step in recovery is to admit you have a problem.

1.We admitted we were powerless over Axis and Allies—that our lives had become unmanageable.

Hi, I’m TheDesertJournalist, and I’m an A&A-aholic. I dream about this game non-stop, my social life (sometimes) suffer because of the amount of time I spend online playing this game, and I stay up until all hours of the night just watching/reading the progression of other people’s games.

What’s the second step to recovery?

there is none :-D

[Imperious Leader]

What’s the second step to recovery?

keep buying more?

@Imperious:

I know that I want 25 copies of each. I’ll just sleep in my car.

[Imperious Leader]

If you buy more copies you can make a home from AAE boxes. Melt down the pieces to make a glue to hold it together and lay out the rulebook on the floor for a portable bathroom.

Hey IL. What is Bells of War?

[trackmagic]

I got:

(1) AA 1942 (playing my first game in 10 years, but I think it will be my roommate’s last one since it has been on our table for about 4 weeks now and I can talk him into about 1 round a week)

I now know where all the copies of the Anniversary edition are:)

[Twigley]

Hey guys.

Probs finding real life players too. (though I seriously need to contact Morden again because he lives in London!).

But I own:

AA50
AA Europe
AA Pacific
AA 2nd Edition

And the original nova game (untouched and never played!)

I too worry that my romantic life (better half etc) may well have to go at some point.  :evil:

Isn’t it sad that it has to be one or the other.
