@seancb I’ve played 1942 in one sitting before, and I’ve played IPC victory conditions on a 4 hour time limit before works fine. I’ve not really played much other than 1942 and the original from the 80s, just the 5 player world map versions. It can be done, with both of those.

RE: Houston Area Players
@mrodriguezjr @Mustang @Mr-Piper I’d be happy to play in Houston. If my count is correct, with Mustang’s friend we would be 5 people, which makes a good game.
For a public space, there is a board game cafe called Tea & Victory not far from my place which would work. 2030 E T C Jester Blvd, Houston, TX 77008 if you want to map it. Looks like they are open 11-8 on Sundays, 11-10 every other day but Monday (closed). I could do Sunday, if that works.
Cheers,
Jon

@motterazo Want to meet up someplace? Maybe Tea and Victory, maybe Tuesday (10-12-21) at 6 PM? Weekends usually would be easier, but this weekend is my wedding anniversary, so it would need to wait a week.
Let me know your thoughts, or email me at jonhuffman1@hotmail.com.
Cheers,
Jon

@seancb I’d be interested in playing, if you are still looking.

I’m in Houston, looking for players too; if any of you all are still around, I’d love to catch a game.
Cheers,

RE: 👋 Introduce or Re-Introduce Yourself (Current)
Hi folks, Jon here.
I’m a former board game and card game designer (two products completed, sold like 10 copies of each!), and I’ve always enjoyed A&A, but haven’t had much opportunity to play in the last few years. Got back into it playing in a Classic tournament at GenCon this year, and figured I would try to find some people to play with around Houston.
I’ve played 1942 2nd Ed. and Classic (1984), but would be up for trying out other versions. I’ve played with a few house rules (e.g. Russia can’t attack turn 1, bid IPCs for right to play Allies) and I am thinking about home-brewing a rule to make the research mechanic from Classic actually worthwhile, but I don’t care about these things and am happy to play whichever way.
Let’s meet up, have a few beers, and play a game or two!
Cheers,
Jon
