Axis & Allies Comp Game Tech Support

[FlameFlash]

I prefer the board game version too, but all I want is for my comp version to work right under Win 2k so I can at least play against the computer.

If I had access to that one again I'd go with it, but since the maker got sued I've never been able to find it.

It was such the --->UNDERDOG<---, wasn't it?

I like the board game over the computer one for several reasons.

1) You can see the whole map.
2) You can sneak an extra white chip or two into your purchases..........

Yet another good plus to the board game.

What does everybody do when they run out of the white chips (and, obviously, the red)?

Good ol' Tass, always cheering for the underdog...

We NEVER run out of white chips.

I have 6 Axis & Allies games piled together and I scavenged ever chip from board games I found at Garage Sales.

We actually have more colors now:

White = 1
Red = 5
Yellow = 10
Blue = 20
Purple = 100

When someone gets a Heavy Bomber over a Purple chip its time to surrender...................

the computer game is better because when someone is losing they dont' get mad and bump the board messing up all the pieces

The game would get boring a long time before that happens

Yes, I do think that means it's time to surrender.

And Tass... thanks for the PM

There's no way a game should last long enough to need a purple chip. The allies should have pummeled the Axis into the ground by that point.

If the Axis aren't winning by turn 15, it's time for them to throw in the towel, unless you really want to grind it out over a 2 day period.

We don't play the BIG chips on a standard Axis and Allies Board. You would never get that many units on it.

We made a radomized world with equal starting positions for 20 players on two sheets of posterboard we taped together.

One games last approx 72 hours straight with no stops. If you leave the room to go get something to eat or take a nap you have to desiginate a Commander in Chief to play your turn while you are away if it comes up.

Since the last 8 civs standing usually have a turn income of 250 to 500 ipc each there are some fairly large battle at that point.

There are also classic events in our history....

The time Utley paid Ogre 200 ipcs to ship his invasion force to another continent then forgot and declared war on Ogre mid trip.......

Ogre refused to land Utleys troops but couldn't get adjacent to land because Utley would move the 200 some odd armor units the first time he had an opportunity. Ogre ended up hiring another country to Heavy Bomb his 200 transports......

Ogre wasn't too happy about that......

how did you deal with only have 5 different colors of pieces? I'd get way to confused in a game like that.

[FlameFlash]

Probably order extra pieces for the A&A Europe and A&A Pacific games to cover the extra colors.
