Playing Axis & Allies on my Mac Os X El Capitan

@Chacmool:

“Mensch ärgere Dich nicht” is still THE game to play in Germany when family comes together on sunday afternoons.  My oma wins almost every time

Keep her away from Axis & Allies – she might turn out to have natural talents at playing that game too, and just imagine how you’d feel at having your grandmother slaughter you in a Global 1940 duel.

My mind changed……

MW2

@Motdc:

Might be a stretch for what you were looking but there is a game called Twilight Imperium that is suprising A&A-like:

The theme is space, picture Star Wars, the galactic senate and all.

It uses the A&A battle mechanic, except with a d10 instead of a d6.

Intsead of ferrying troops around on ocean-going transports, you ferry them around on space-going transports.  In fact, the game uses a lot of the A&A naval mechanics, from fighters on carriers, transporting troops, bombardment, etc.

You have planetary defense systems that act like AA Guns and can upgraded to act like A&A-style rockets.

You have a couple of tech tracks you can advance on by spending on R&D like in most A&A games.

The game add a deplomacy phase and action cards.

I have the original 1st and 2nd editions of the game.  They reworked it in the 3rd edition, but I haven’t tried that one yet.

Its from Fantasy Flight Games, IIRC.

3rd Edition is a great game for six players.  The random maps placed by the players in setup is also a big plus.    :wink:

I actually thought that I was buying Cities and Knights, but like an idiot bought the 5-6 player C/K expansion instead. It’s next on my list.

I’d have a lot of fun contributing to a Settlers website. I don’t play much A&A anymore (college and all), but I do play a lot of Settlers, Atlantic Storm, and Illuminati.

I’ll hop on X-fire chat and bother you.

Anyways, perhaps we could play first as a team against the computers, so you can help me a little bit in improving my play.

I like TripleA alot. I haven’t played the other PC game since I downloaded TripleA.

which is better?

Wow… this most be at least the 3rd post I’ve posted dedicated toward Hearts of Iron. The version of Hearts of Iron was very buggy, though that’s what I get for getting it freeware. The game is almost impossible to find nowadays. :-?
