Get stuck with a console message

For beginners, I’ve always liked A&A Europe the original.  It’s out of print, but still obtainable.  There’s even a copy for $25 on BBG!

It’s easy to play, dramatic, and not too long. It teaches the basics of game play without getting too bogged down in technical rules.

Consider it!

Another great learning path you can take is 1941, 1942, and finally 1940.  More complicated/bigger usually equals more fun and more time-consuming.

Anniversary is still the most popular among loyal but infrequent gamers.

Bill, if your still out there, here’s some basic info.  (Sorry no one bothered to respond earlier, I just recently registered here myself.)

If your talking about the 1998 A&A CD which uses 2nd & 3rd editions rules, you are in luck.  A couple other web sites are better geared toward that format.  I believe this site is used by predominantly gamers utilizing the board game via face-to-face (F2F), play by forum (PBF) and play by email (PBEM).

AAWC.org & ewarzone.com both have a patch you can download.  _Plonitus & aqrit have done a ton of work over there to keep the '98 CD alive.  War Zone also is a game host site to play it online.

There are oodles more A&A options out there, just not so much for the '98 CD players.  As you may have noticed, there is a plethora of mutations of A&A games on the market now with lots of different scenarios, rules variations, etc. giving folks lots of flavors to choose from.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, I didn’t even touch on the A&A Iron Blitz or A&A RTS CDs.

I think i understand now.  Can’t wait to try it out.  Hopefully you mind if I have a few questions after my first couple of games.  Thanks for the info Frimmel.

You should send a PM to CaptainJack.  I know he uses TripleA on his Mac.  I don’t know of any other A&A players that use Mac’s.

Thats to bad I live in near Pensicola, Florida. It gets to hot here to play in the summer. :( So the winter is my only time to play it suks.

Maybe try Spring1942.com for the placement.
