Has any axis player won by capturing the US?
Can’t say I’ve ever seen that before, but I don’t have nearly as much time into this version as others.

I like the Axis too. There’s nothing like taking the wind out of an over confident noob’s sails when you Sea-Lion the UK when he thinks you are going for Moscow. :evil:

ROFL that was great.
The French President is sitting in his office when his telephone rings. ‘Hallo, Mr. Sarkozy!’ a heavily accented voice said. ‘This is Paddy down at the Harp Pub in County Clare , Ireland … I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you. We voted to reject the Lisbon treaty.’
‘Well, Paddy,’ Sarkozy replied, ‘This is indeed important news. How big is your army?’ ‘Right now,’ says Paddy, after a moment’s calculation, ‘there is myself, me Cousin Sean, me next door neighbor Seamus, and the entire darts team from the pub. That makes eleven.’
Sarkozy paused. ‘I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100,000 men in my army waiting to move on my command.’ ‘Begorra!’ says Paddy. ‘I’ll have to ring you back.’
Sure enough, the next day, Paddy calls again. ‘Mr. Sarkozy, the war is still on. We have managed to get us some infantry equipment!’ ‘And what equipment would that be paddy?’ Sarkozy asks. ‘Well, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy’s farm tractor…’
Sarkozy sighs amused. ‘I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 6,000 tanks and 5,000 armoured personnel carriers. Also, I have increased my army to 150,000 since we last spoke.’ ‘Saints preserve us!’ says Paddy. I’ll have to get back to you.’
Sure enough, Paddy rings again the next day. ‘Mr. Sarkozy, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We have modified Jackie McLaughlin’s ultra-light with a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four boys from the Shamrock Bar have joined us as well!’
Sarkozy was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. ‘I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100 bombers and 200 fighter planes. My military bases are surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I have increased my army to 200,000.’ ‘Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!’ says Paddy, ‘I will have to ring you back.’
Sure enough, Paddy calls again the next day. ‘Top o’ the mornin’, Mr. Sarkozy. I am sorry to inform you that we have had to call off the war.’ ‘Really? I am sorry to hear that,’ says Sarkozy. ‘Why the sudden change of heart?’ ‘Well,’ says Paddy, ‘we had a long chat over a few pints of Guinness and packets of crisps, and we decided there is no fookin’ way we can feed 200,000 prisoners.’
I live in Watertown, about an hour north of Syracuse. :oops:
I’m not saying I’m rich or poor but I do work with a great number of filthy rotten rich people. They spend a great deal of time managing their wealth. The same way body builders spend a great deal of time physically becoming who they want to become.
Rich poeple don’t get rich by by accident. They know what has to be paid and what doesn’t. They learn tax law and find loop holes. Honeslty I don’t have a problem with rich people being rich. They spend all that time to become that way just like the body builder.
A flat tax would be the ideal solution. Think of all the tax dollars that would be saved when you could realistically lay off half of the IRS.

hey guys, gals looking for players and place to meet in the Syracuse, NY area.
I see there are a lot of players within an hour drive of there.
I have copies of most of the versions of the game.
PM me if your interested. Busy at work so it may be a few days before I get back to you.

hey long time no see. :-)
Here’s the only filashlight I will ever buy again. Shop around The Fire Store doesn’t always have the best prices.
I’m a firefighter and I have a mount that attaches that to my helmet. It’s the only light I have found that can cut through the smoke.
Don’t get discouraged if you use it during the day. It looks like the battries are dying. But when it’s dark its awesome. Its brighter then the box lights my department buys.

@Cmdr:
If they did a SW Axis and Allies, I would highly recommend making a map of 5 or 6 planets (maybe 7 planets, odd numbers seem to look more natural to me) with multiple zones and connecting lines so that armies could walk between certain planets. (maybe make it a space bridge or something. You know, like Risk where you can get from Asia to North America if you have the connecting points.)
I don’t think I like the idea of a spacebridge. I think that transports are a must to get from one place to another. Maybe you could develop a tech for making a spacebridge if you occupy two adjacent worlds.

If you could please limit your self to one question at a time. Thank you :-)

balungaloaf,
You are correct. President Grover Cleveland served his two non-consecutive terms from 1885–1889 and 1893–1897.

I know this is not a board game but since the camping season has finally arrived in upstate New York (Our last frost advisory was in the middle of May and most of June and July have been our spring) I don’ t foresee myself at home much on the weekends.
My wife and I like to pick up card games for camping since they are a little easier to play in the uneven surfaces camping environments provide us with.
This year we added Monopoly Deal to the team. Here is the basic run down:
Each player gets 5 cards to hold in his or her hand. Each turn you can play up to 3 cards. You have a few card types, action cards, property cards and money.
Property cards are obvious they have the name of the property on them. When an action card is played you choose the player that has to comply. So for example I play a rent action card the other player has to pay the rent for the property I played the card for.
Each player keeps a place for playing money cards. This is where the rent you owe comes from. (You are not allowed to play cards from your hand unless it is your turn.)
The goal of the game is to play 3 complete sets of properties. Since it’s just my wife and I most of the time we play 4 or 5 sets. The game takes about 20 minutes to play.
I like this one a lot. If you like monopoly but like the quicker pace of Uno this is a good compromise.

Some months ago we did this and I enjoyed it. In hopes to start it again I’ll ask the first question the person with the correct answer will ask the second question and so forth. Here we go:
Who was the first US president to serve two terms but not in order?

Where I grew up some schools moved to a year round schedule. They go to school for like 3 months and take the 4th month off or something like that.
That way they can get flu season off and have some winter and summer fun as well.

Thanks, that’s two minutes of my life I’ll never get back. :lol:
During the summer in my neck of the woods high school kids are forcefully conscripted into slave labor on local farms. (I was one of those kids once.) We have our last frost around Mother’s day so when school lets out that’s the perfect time to plant. Right now they are haying for the live stock. In a few months they will be harvesting corn and shortly after that the apples will be ready for picking.
I have been told that this is historically the reason for summer vacation as well. Farmers kept their kids home for the help instead of allowing them to go to the school house.

Another firefighter and I were talking about this topic and he showed up one day with a copy of
“Chuck Norris vs. Mr. T: The unauthorized parody”
I don’t think it is worth the $12 Borders wants for it but it was a fun read.

This has been out there for almost a year now but it’s worth the look.

looks all the way.
You dont win many A&A games with good look. You need brain.
Unless your good looks happen to be female, large breasted and scantly-clad you mean.
I think that in a lot of ways Star Wars got a bad rap just because they made I, II and III later.
I think that had it been the other way around or had he made one about Leigh and Hans kid becoming a Jedi that people wouldn’t have had such a high standard.
