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’

@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.

@oysteilo good day.
Yes, the DD can move out of the SZ, avoiding combat.
If it declares war, Yes, a British TT can load, if it is attacking amphibiously this turn. Otherwise, it must move away to avoid combat, without loading and its turn will be over.

@Entek Al and I just took out our 7 year old and his cousin , also 7. Our daughter went out with 3 friends . Bloody poured down with rain again!
Back now, Having a glass of Red and some crisps. We go back to where we used to live (moved 16 months ago). There is more of a community feel to our old neighbourhood.
I dressed as a Viking again. Love my axes!
My son was a Knight. My niece was No Face.
My 13 year old wore a white Galadriel dress , but was an Egyptian goddess.

Redrum has too much going on at the moment , so had asked me to do Italy for him.
I
Will probably do it tomorrow

@FMErwinRommel spoilsport!

@Elrood nope. Just imagine it : surrounded by hate filled Serbs and your armies miles away and useless to help!

@Elrood Serbia can smell the Turkish coffee wafting over the Bosporus.
You know we hate you and have always been better fighters .
