Started to build up my air force shortly after gaining the sea. Then began a massive air campaign against Germany. Having defeated Germany, I took over Russia smoothly, then attacked Japan. America and I were having fun sandwiching Japan. Then America and I duked it out. That took forever. He had his air force and Army, but couldn't move any of his pieces. I had my Navy and some army support, but could never move them into a good position to take America, until we decided to move all our pieces into the Western US and just sat and rolled until I was victorious.

I love Axis and Allies. Me and mist used to have games that lasted like 10 days. I hated that game so much sometimes. Although I made Africa it's own country and won once.

Yeah, if only we lived closer Nav. We could have those week long Axis and Allies games.

sexy game... i pwn...


hmmm... i would have to say bring the most classic re-creation of monopoly ever: ghettopoly (sp?)

EDIT: Risk is ok too if your into really long games, un fortunately whenever we play in my house it gets really competitive, my Mom has to act as a mediator and when we dont play she keeps watch over the board... i think ym sister tries to pay her off though

So move.

You can be our guest at the {BOHICA} cruise and we'll play A&A at the airports.

[Sentrosi]

{BOHICA} has cruises?

Who foots that bill?

Good idea but it can take awhile to pick up, epseically if you've never done pen and paper before. That and trying to get people to play it can be a lot like trying to convince a horse to walk off a cliff.
