    • RE: Introduce or Re-Introduce Yourself (Nov. 2018)

      I’m William “Red” Cook. I live in Scottsdale Az, a suburb of Phoenix. I played my first Axis and Allies game in 1986, back when there was only one version. I had a group of friends that played through high school then the group eventually faded away during college.

      Around 2000 or 2001 i started working in an office and had internet access from my desk. When I got bored I would search random things. Thats how I discovered that there was an online community for Axis and Allies. I jioned this site aswell as others, and i used the games locator forum to build a local group again. We played the original then World at War, then made house rules. We picked up other games as they came out and eventually I would have 8 to 10 people show up for game nights playing 2 games at once. I even got into miniatures for a while.

      Once again guys moved away and I had interruptions visiting foreign countries courtesy of the US Army. I played Europe in Baghdad, D-day in Kuwait, Pacific in Jalalabad and 1942 at a place called Torkham at the Afghan border in the Khyber pass.

      Now I occasionally get some guys together and play a modified version of The War Game.

      @M36:

      I’m glad I keep my feet on the ground. 😄

      Of course, that C-130 trip to Kuwait is gonna be a long one… 😐

      You will most likely be on something a little bigger for that trip my friend.  😉

      @DarthMaximus:

      @dezrtfish:

      I just realized, that as of about two weeks ago it’s been ten years since I first registered on this site… First off I feel old and second I need to play more, these damn wars have really screwed up my hobbies…

      Congrats on your 10 years!  My 10 years comes up in Sept. 
      Other than Djensen, you’re the longest active member.  Well, unless Yanny shows up.   😄

      Yeah, I didn’t check but if memory serves Yanny joined a couple weeks before me, he was a 14 yo kid lol

    • RE: 10 years

      I got my game today, I hope to give it a test run in a few days.  I ordered it from Amazon and ordered 100 white and 50 red chips on the side based on what I read.  When I opened the box I was glad I did.  I have a plotter, so I think I may DL and print a bigger map too.

    • RE: Dream Fast Food Meal/Restaurant

      That jalapeno cheddar burger is pretty good…  Best burger I ever had I think was a hardees double cheese burger, I found a Hardees while exploring The small FOBs around FOB Victory in Iraq, I hadn’t had real fast food in 8 months, it was awesome, then they tore it down a month later…
