any axis & aLLies fans here? (repost)

i'm one of those A&A nerds - aLthough i've never gotten into the computer versions; i'm strictLy board game.

who's your favorite country? strategy?

have you pLayed any of the expansion games (europe. pacific. enemy on the horizon)? what's your favorite?

i figured i'd get a generaL topic going - see if there any other A&A fans before i start spouting off to no one.

ps: if you're LocaL to me, maybe we can pLay sometime. i've Lost touch with the few peopLe who were as nutty about as me. it kinda sucks pLaying with peopLe who don't know how to pLay.

repost from the the very quiet gaming group: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=248x994

2. I see the gaming group is mostly CPU games

I'm into board games, Every Friday I have a game group at my house. (we have about 150 games). Axis and Allies to me isn't that good of a game because you can get knocked out of the game, know your knocked out and you have to just keep on playing even knowing you have no chance of coming back.

3. eh, i Love it (obviousLy)

if you get knocked out though, the game is over pretty quickLy. your aLLies can't hoLd up too Long once you're eLiminated.

i'm a big board game fan (and video games too) but axis gives the rush that weLL done video game does. i don't get that w/ scrabbLe. :P

5. When I say board games

I'm not talking about Monopoly. but what is considered "German style" board games.

Like say Aquire, Puerto Rico.. things you can't find at Toys R Us
