I live in England, but wa born in Florence, Italy. I started playing A&A as an 18 year old at university. I only got to play once a week (4 hours) as part of the Boardgames Club and sometimes had to watch, if too many players wanted in. I was so obsessed that I would look forward to that one evening to the detriment of everything else. I would plan how Germany could win amd what I would buy. Russia was my nemesis amd my one goal was its conquest.

I did buy Classic in my Second Year, I think. Did not play much (except by myself, plannning!).
I got back into A&A when I heard Europe was coming out . Guess what? Yep, I got to invade Russia all over again.
Anniversary was a wedding gift and I have bought every game since then.
I don’t get any face to face games any more, as I have children and no time at the weekends (because of work).

‘Hey Mikey, I think he likes it’

@djensen I have done my Gold ; thanks Dave.

@emmettdd Good morning. That is, indeed , how it works in any subsequent Rounds of combat, yes.
Bear in mind, if the enemy has Subs, he could submerge his, if you have no Destroyer present either.

@gamerman01 you have been a great representative of this forum and what you have done for the League is immense. You can’t be thanked enough .
We will miss you, but totally understand .
Keep well, my friend.

Settlers, 7 Wonders, Scrabble, Carcassonne and Twilight Struggle are our top choices.
My wife and I always gift ourselves a game or two for Christmas, so there is always something to play. She plays me at A&A once a year now (December , as a birthday consolation ).

Has always been the 109E for me, probably slightly disappointing my loving RAF grandad!

@klykke89 I am afraid not . Perhaps , the Transport was intercepted by Pirates , hoping to learn ways to overturn Democracy and conquer the world .

@crockett36 watched your video with @gamerman01 enjoyed it ; thanks both.

Hi all. I see that we have a new forum member from Denmark, who has been playing since 83.
I started aged nearly 19 , back in 87.
Wondered how many other people here have been playing A&A that long.

@Yskonyn welcome to the forum.

Were you playing in the 80s or 90s?
I started a university in 87.
Enjoy Anniversary. It is my favourite; I bought it when it came out all those years ago.

Seb preferred waiting another Turn , but I was all for going now.
I did not expect such a poor result .
When I did it In Local, I won with 26 units spare.

@Elrood unlucky.
I was rooting for you .
Would have been a great help , had we smashed up that annoying Army .

Bait 11 Allies…tsvg I dare you!

@captainwalker okay.
Tired though, so won’t do my go until the morning.

Hi.
I am afraid I don’t know of any French players.
Good luck in your search, however .
