Hello everyone! I'd like to share with you a board game that I've enjoyed for a very long time, and share it with the wonderful people of taleworlds. You may have heard of Axis and Allies, and the thing that I've heard most from people that don't know how to play are "isn't that game ridiculously complicated?". Yes, it is complex, but not moreso than any of the grand strategy games that many of us play. Once you learn the rules, it's not a hassle to play or anything like that. If you have not heard of it, Axis and Allies is a game which can most simply be described as RISK set during World War 2, but much more complicated and fun.
With that, I will introduce the game.
Axis and Allies: Global 1940
Global 1940 is the largest and most intricate game in the series, as well as the most fun (go hard or go home). It begins in the year 1940(duh), with Germany poised to sweep through France, the Japanese are pushing against the Chinese hard, and the Americans and Soviets are yet to enter the war.
To play this game via the internet, we will be using the program called TripleA to play. It's great and allows people all over the world to play without a board.
In order to play, you ought to know the premise for the game, and preferably know the rules or at least be willing to learn. I've talked to several around the BoP community that are interested in trying this out, and I'm willing to help anyone out that would like it.
I obviously cannot go into the rules here, as they are too long, but here are a couple useful links for the aspiring player:
A Beginner's Guide to A&A Global 1940
Official Rulebook PDF (will take a minute or two to load)
For the first game, we will have either five or six players, depending on how much interest we get. After everyone signs up we can assign countries and take it away from there.
Players:
Germany - Eternal
Japan - Gaham
Italy - Jagiello
USA & China - HULK
UK & ANZAC - Admiralthrawn
USSR & France - Pixel
