I played the test version, before they charged for it, and I loved the setup. Just when the prices came I decided to stop using. The game itself is done really well though. However, you couldn’t play in any type of tournament with your virtual cards.

Will there/should there/is there any type of ranking used here?

The same as if you’re buying a pack at any store. I think it is rediculous.

Speaking of Diplomacy… at least you where earlier. You can play PBEM dip at www.redscape.com. The forum is basically the same as this one and it is TONS of fun. I am Blitzkrieg there if anyone cares.
Dip is my favorite game by far, mostly because of the zero chance affect. There are interesting variants that have just opened up as well, such as this (called NWO, this is after the second year’s builds. I play Germany.) http://www.redscape.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9568
There are smaller variants or larger ones, plus the standard. My favorite country changes daily, used to be Turkey but Turkey is rather easy to play with. Right now it is Germany, mostly because of the multiple ways that you can go. Austria is a ton of fun to play dipwise but it is the hardest by far.

Greetings all,
Yesturday I read the rules for Axis and allies and I finished my first game today at the Allies (playing my brother who beat the living daylights outta me). Anyways, I am familiar with Diplomacy PBEM (www.redscape.com I’m Blitzkrieg) and I am interested in playing A&A online.
So… if anyone is willing to play a game with me, or four players if you please, I would love to go. I do not know, however, about opening bids (i’ve heard them mentioned as I fish around this site for info) and a couple other tid bits that I don’t yet comprend. The ideal situation would be 1 experianced player and me and 3 other newbies possibly so that we can be babied through a quick game to get the feel? I could trade dip lessons for A&A lessons :D.
Any takers?? Anyone?? We don’t have to play a game but I’m very interested in learning to play A&A PBEM.
