Is any one else and Axis and Allies nerd. Or is it just me.
It looks like a game I'd like. What is a good cheap set I could start with?
I really like this game but the only person I can get to play is my brother. We only have the 1942 spring version. Usually he plays as the axis, but when I play the axis strange things happen . . . One game ended in two turns. First turn Germany took Leningrad, second turn Japan got Calcutta and Germany got the UK. Another game took twenty turns. By the second turn Japan had occupied the west cost. Although they lost it the next, turn it pretty much got America out of the rest of the game. Later, all of Europe was under UK's control . . . all but Germany and Italy that is Which had a combined total of about 70+ Infantry. Towards the end, every turn Japan had nine tanks attacking Moscow. It was only a matter of time before Russia fell. By the end of the game the Axis controlled everything from Brazil to Alaska, (The long way around the world) except Norway.You can probably tell I don't have anybody else to talk with about games like this.
My goal is to get 6 other people strategy-minded and Diplomacy it up for a whole day. I don't think that will ever happen though.

I don't know that I could commit to an entire day, but I have played an email version of Diplomacy before where players took 1 turn a week, and had the rest of the week to do email discussion, etc. I think I've had a few other people also mention that they were interested in a game (maybe The Spy, for those of you who remember him), so if you were interested in that format we might be able to get something together.

Not sure why I never thought of that, it would be great When I get a chance, I'll start a thread to see if anyone else is interested (instead of continuing to hijack this one ).
After spotting this thread, I had to look to see what I had. I also own the Spring 1942 board game version. I don't have a chance to get it out much, but it is a fun game.Also, I have the PC game of it. It is fantastic to play if you are by yourself or you want to avoid the board set up with friends. The computer has various difficulty levels. Plus, if you want to clown around, then you can change the value of everything.

Just found this thread. A great way to play AAA, Diplomacy, and other great games is gamesbyemail.com. Asahel24601, wmd1999 and I often play there.
