    • RE: Chicago - “We Want You”- Uncle Sam

      @Beastie_B new Chicago player here as well. Would love to find a Chicago burbs game.

      I’m new to the game (AA50 1941 so far)…

    • Chicago, IL area players ?

      Got into A&A less than a year ago and haver become obsessed. Looking for more players. Message me or reply to this thread if you are in the general Chicagoland area and would look to set up a game and create a network of players in the area.

      I’ve seen a few Player Locator threads on here, but they look really out of date and not kept up with.

      A&A 50 1941 and 1942 have been my game of choice as of late, but I am open to others ( in particular, Global 1940).

    • Operation Sea Lion - Is it possible for 1941?

      I am trying to figure out a way that this might be possible for Germany to accomplish, even if they completely abandon the eastern front and Africa. Anyone have any ideas?

    • Oil Rules for A&A Anniversary?

      We are thinking of spicing up our game a little bit by implementing Oil in some way to Anniversary. Does anyone have a house rule out there for AA50 that doesn’t break the game too much?

      I’ve seen rules for Global 40 and the Global War series, but none so far for AA50…

    • RE: Chicago, IL area players ?

      Thank you for the warm welcome!

      I will look out for you on Triple-A and see if we can get a game going.

      I have played a few games against the computer on there so far, but think the human players offer way more nuance.

    • India Complex for UK - usually a bad idea?

      I was thinking about ways to slow Japan so that Japan doesn’t sneak up the back door on Russia late game, and was thinking about a first turn UK purchase of a Complex to push east on Japan or just keep them distracted enough to halt their growth.

      On turn one I would fly over the Egypt fighter and move the tank into Persia, plus the 2 INF in Trans-Jordan. Than, use the transport in SZ35 to pick up 1 INF + 1 ART and reinforce India some more. Basically, giving up Africa for a short period to America can come in to take back Africa mid to late game. I’d supply as much as I could to India, while still putting pressure on Germany with either a Polar Express and/or France or NW Europe invasion.

      Any strong opinions on this strategy?

      Was thinking that America’s prime objective would be to totally slam Germany and Italy with Bombers and do max damage while slowly building for the take back of Africa and eventually western Europe. America and UK would have to supply a few fighters throughout the game to protect Moscow as well…

      @SS-GEN Thanks for the reply.

      Kenosha isn’t out of the question for me, as I used to drive back and forth to Rockford, IL all the time years ago.

      Do you play with Technology and National Objectives? I have yet to try those out.

      @Whackamatt

      That’s not far at all from me. I’m actually in Schaumburg. Been itching to try Global.

      Do you host any games?

      Maybe a group Kenosha game is in order?

    • RE: Any Global 40 BBR players in Illinois - Wisconsin - Indiana?

      @general-6-stars Not necessarily, but that is good to know. Was looking to host games at a local game shop where we could have several open tables for games. I’m located in the Chicagoland area.

    • Any Global 40 BBR players in Illinois - Wisconsin - Indiana?

      I am looking to put together a network of players in the region to perhaps start a regular, monthly or bi-monthly get together with multiple tables/games of Axis and Allies Global 1940, using the BBR ruleset.

      Reply or direct message me if you are interested. I am in the Chicagoland area and would like to expand our circle of players.

    • Allied Bids - What are the common rules on placement?

      What is the most common rule out there for how many units can be placed for an Allied bid?

      So say the Allies are given a 30 IPC bid. Could they theoretically place all 30 IPCs in a single territory (that they control of course)?

      Just want to get an idea on this for a game coming up.

      Thanks

    • RE: Allies Bid - What is the average bid going right now?

      Another question…Are they Allies able to use their bids anywhere they want?

      For example, Russia puts all its bid units down on the eastern front?

      Or say America gets all the bid money and puts it all down in Hawaii with more naval units?

      Are there any common house rules as to how/where you place those bid dollars down?

    • Allies Bid - What is the average bid going right now?

      I know this discussion comes up constantly, but I wanted to see what the going numbers are for an allied bid and sort of compile an average for use in my next game. We have been playing the regular OOB rules and no bids for a while now, and it took us this long to realize that the Axis have a massive advantage in the game.

      If anyone can shoot over what they are using for bids to the Allies and which nation is receiving the bulk of that bid, it would help me and my play group out a lot.

      Thanks!

    • Selling lots of Japanese and American Fleets!

      I have multiples of some of the ships as you will see. All of them have collector cards as well. There’s a few Canadian ones in there too.

      Will sell the whole lot for a discount.

    • RE: How do you win with Axis? SERIOUSLY NEED HELP

      @DoManMacgee All America has to do is spend 25% or less to divert such an attack from Honolulu or Sydney while Japan tries to catch up economically to the US while taking out Calcutta, China, Money Islands, etc.

      Yes, America going 100% KGF leaves that option open for Japan but that’s not even a realistic strategy. America would likely spend at least some money in the Pacific. As well, America can spend very heavily in the Atlantic for a few turns and shuttle transports back and forth to the Eastern US, spending less than half its money on re-stocking those transports to go back to Germany/Africa/Italy.

      Once America has established complete domination over the Atlantic (thereby allowing the UK to build a navy once again) it can spend the majority of its money on the Pacific, nullifying a Pacific victory by Japan.
