Axis & Allies

WarSpartan · **WarSpartan**

I saw this listed in the forum title. Im a big fan of this game so if anyone still plays it let me know.

Nemesis · **Nemesis**

I played it something like a decade or two ago. I loved the game, but it was hard to find people to play with, and, honestly, the game played best with a full five people, and a WHOLE lot of time set aside.

At the moment, I'm more partial to the new revision of Risk, as it only requires 3-5 players, and on average lasts 1 1/2 hours.

Still, a fully loaded A&A game would be awesome.

My LOTR risk game kicks ass. But I doubt it's playable anymore. My boys found it when they were 8 & 9....not too many pieces left.

Axis & Alllies....oh the memories. My dad got that for us probably about 18 or 19 years ago. I opened it with delight....then saw the instruction manual. Closed it and never looked at it again. I bet it's still in pristine condition.

I'd be interested in acquiring that copy if you think you've still got it kicking around, Krith.

It's my dad's. I'll ask him about it.

Well there is a revised edition of A&A that came out a year or two ago. It addresses a ton issues with the original game (more zones/territories, clearer rules, etc.), as well as adds a few new rules, and a couple new units.

Overall revised edition compared to the original is tons of awesome ! However as noted there are only a few people I know who are interested in playing. So I'd be happy to play this some night.

A game takes about 2-3 hours to hit a clear point where you know where the game is going / who's winning. Thats with a casual rate of play chit chat etc.

An option for those that might be interested in trying it :
- At sourceforge there is a game called TripleA which is basically a java version of the game. The revised scenario is the EXACT boardgame. Can be played online as well. Saved anytime. Take a break, pick it back up when ready etc. Or just played along over the course of the day in the background with friends. Anyways its excellent and I'd give a go with anyone who'd be interested. And of course its a great way to get an idea of what the game is like, and/or how the new revised edition is different from the orignal game (theres a scenario for that too, as well as a few others).

Of course imo the best experience is at the table with people, but TripleA is good.

Actually i'm up in the tonawanda area, just north a bit of the Blvd Mall. I havent been down to fredonia in ages now (used to live in the southtowns so i was all over the area for years).

I do have folks come over occassionally and we'll crack out the boardgames etc. I can give you a holler if you'd like to make the trip.

I also have a shiny copy of the new Talisman and expansions we like to play too.
