I think now we have it  :-P

[Private-Panic]

Thanks Seb.

Mark - you can ignore my request for an edit a few posts back.

[Elrood]

Allies squander resources in how they defeat the Axis-Powers. Who should take Berlin? US? Russians? Or do we let the French take their revenge??  :mrgreen:

[Private-Panic]

Italy? Time they switched sides. :-D

[Witt]

You mean Cred has not been on your side all along? Could have fooled this slant eyed Nip.

[Private-Panic]

He does seem happy for to be sunning ourselves in West Germany. Thanks for the hospitality Cred! :wink:

[Credulous]

I’m on the side of entertainment. Win or lose I can at least say I made the game distinctive….

Reckon its time for Adam and I to take on the seasoned players next.

Cred

[Credulous]

Also do you guys fancy a play by email game of Civilisation IV? Thought today that if you love Axis and Allies you’d probably go weak at the knees for Civilisation….

Eh? Are you surrendering?

Happy to partner you Cred. Although victory would be sweeter than interesting! El-rude and witt (with a small w) may prefer a more equal game than the two veteran has-been vs the two young bloods?

I’ll play if everyone wants to so as not to break up our little cadre. I do have quite a few A&A games on though.

[Credulous]

No not surrendering yet - I think you guys need to place your flags on the Riechstag first. Just planning ahead for the inevitable. Are you familiar with Civilisation then Adam? If not I’d look it up - suspect would be massively up your street. Why play for 6 years of human existence when you can play 6000?!!!

[regularkid]

civilization is da bomb!!

[Elrood]

What exactly are you talking about? I have Civ IV on my PC, but its a normal PC Game… which I sometimes enjoyed singleplay…

Or is there another online / web version I dont know about?

What I enjoy regularly though is a board game that made it to the webs called: “Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization” - it was strongly influenced by the Sid Meiers Civ game. But is different. Sometimes referred to as “Civilization Light”

If you look at the Strategy-Game ranking on Boardgamegeek you find it on top 2:
https://boardgamegeek.com/strategygames/browse/boardgame?sort=rank&rankobjecttype=family&rankobjectid=5497&rank=2#2

Rank 6 is its predecessor, which is 90% the same (similar relationship like A&A 1940 1st to 2nd Edition).

This is the online version: http://www.boardgaming-online.com/

:wink:

[Private-Panic]

My Civ experience is limited to an early internet play enabled version called Civnet, which I played solo for some years.

Happy to try whatever version you knowledgeable guys decide. But no Civ s/w here.

Back to business! Where is Italy’s go? Another step on the road to defeat!

Hi Elrood - yes aware of that game and its been on my purchase target list for a while. Good to see the sequel is now up to number 2. Which is the better game in your estimation as I think both versions are available at the moment?

I am just talking about the regular version of Civ 4 and I thought Civ 4 had online multiplayer including play by email capability - but maybe I got that wrong. If it doesn’t have play by email then it damn well should do based on the nature of the game!

On Italy’s go I’m down in London tonight so will be tomorrow at earliest I’m afraid.

Yes I prefer the 2nd Edition! I own 1st edition as boardgame and have played about 3 games with my friends… but i played about 160 games of it on that online platform from above.

2nd edition came out recently and I have finish about 20 games of it … also online. I see no point in getting the card board version… i simply cannot find the time and people to play such time consuming game (similar to A&A… which I only play via tripleA for years now… a bit of a shame… since I own both 1st and 2nd editon… latter one I never played once…  :| )

At TtA… 1st edition is perfect… and 2nd edition just straightened out few things… and made it another kind of perfect… I say. Its really amazing how these games were developed and how good they are. swoon
