OFF TOPIC - Axis & Allies

[junk2drive]

Computer game from Matrix.

[Der Kuenstler]

The last Gary Grisby game I tried was "Pacific War" - it was about as fun to play as doing my taxes....

Hi Vulture.

It´s a A&A clone and the best I´ve ever played.

Have a look at www.blackbeangames.com

Cheers, Klaus

I still own my original Axis & Allies, but I confess to enjoying the other games in the series (and playing them more) than A&A.

Fortress America
Conquest of the Empire
Shogun

Love the balance of the last two, and the 3 on 1 set up of Fortress America is great when you're playing with a different skill mix in the players.

Started out with A&A around the same time as Der Kuenstler, a few years shy of high school I think! Those were the days...... no internet, no cellphones, no cable TV even! (at least in my country).

I had a group of friends who I would play D&D with on the weekends. These sessions later evolved into games of A&A.

I remember one of the rules we came up with to make things more challenging was "no factories outside of your home country".

Makes me want to buy a copy and start playing again!
