Hi Gamers,
My name is Gene, and am a recent retiree. I’ve always been interested in military aircraft and ships. Spending a 5 day Tiger Cruise on SSGN 726, and becoming an honorary submariner was a highlight of my life. I’ve recently been introduced to A&A, and have concentrated on collecting units from the miniatures version of the game. I live in the Erie, PA area, and am seeking players willing to put up battling against a newbie to the game.

Hi all - great to be part of this. I am from Brisbane Australia… I like to play Global whenever I can. Looking forward to seeing how this works online. Any tips to get me started are welcome. And if anybody is around Brisbane, I am keen to play.

@Shannon-B Also from Brisbane doesn’t seem to be too many players around though?

@Hopper1999 - nice to meet you! I have a couple of friends who like to play… could get a game going soon?

@Shannon-B yeah sounds good, got a couple down my way.

@Hopper1999 Great - let’s plan something for the near future…

@djensen My Friends call me Sarge because most of my friends worked with me in a 26 year Law Enforcement career.
I live in Northern Florida (Tallahassee ) and am Retired. I was first introduced and bought my first Axis and Allies in the 1989. Played for about 2 years then life took over my free time. Unfortunately I lost my original Axis and Allies Game.
Fast forward 29 years later and a Grandfather of 6, they are getting to the age that they can enjoy playing the game. I figured it’s time to get back into the game on an epic scale ( global ). I bought Pacific and Europe 1940 second edition. I have started customizing the pieces and adding Marines, Tanks and Corsairs to start.

I even made a YouTube video on DIY Magnetic Paint you can watch here.

I look forward to customizing and playing A&A Global. I have learned a lot from a lot of the people on this Fourm And YouTube. This is an awesome website and am enjoying it and the people on here.

To balance things out, retirement is a great moment where free time allows Axis and Allies to take over from life. Welcome back to the A&A game and welcome to the forum!

Hello, all! I’m the CM of Beamdog, and I’m so excited to make your acquaintance.

@SS-GEN thanks

@CWO-Marc thanks, every Hobby can take over life when your retired. I have many. Hahahahaha

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog thanks, I just read an article on the exciting new launch of Axis and Allies online.
That is awesome, Y’all will make a lot of people happy with such an epic online game.

Hey

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog
Welcome to the forum! I am looking forward to your software project.

Hello from Athens, Greece

My name is Nikolas and Im 45 years old. Im old time gamer from video games to board games. Last summer I bought, mainly for nostalgia reasons, the old time classic Risk in order to play with my 10 year old boy. We had and still have many fun times with this but we (I) wnated something more challenging so the obvious choice was AA. We started with the cheap version of 1941, but the delivered product had missing parts. Anyway as we both agreed that the map was a bit small, we ended up buying the Anniversary edition 2 weeks ago which is great!
We play almost every day in sessions (1-2hours), tonight is the second session of our fifth game…!
We dont use any customizations yet, but what Im looking for are the inclusion of random events. Have anyone compliled a list of random events?
One last questions. Im also looking for a compatible AA50 house rules that are proven to work well for both sides. Can anyone guide me?

Thank you and Im very pleased that I found this place.
Nikolas

Kalispera!
Im so glad your playing with your son! teach him history & strategy at the same time.

@marnikos Hey Marnikos
These expansion rules are compatible
with most Axis & Allies games. These
expansions have been designed, play
tested, mathematically calculated and
then re-designed since 2006. Some rules
are developed from popular House Rules,
some are partly modified from existing
expansion rules – but most are inspired
by

World War II History and created by our
veteran members group.
The final outcome of Expansion I is
impressive – even for the veterans
around the World who still have a special
affection for the famous Axis & Allies
game. With the release of Expansion II,
III and IV – there is no need to say that
the game will now be even richer in
historical detail and strategy with more
elaborate naval, air and ground rules
Kind regards
Axis & Allies Club Danmark

You can use expansion 1 alone and then add 2, later 3 and at last 4 when you get familiar with it.
