Unfortunately, we didn't really get to actually play as we're just learning this one. - Akiva Moskovitz

My son and I started a game of Risk back in January, but never finished. I took a picture of the board, so we can recreate it when we are ready to resume hostilities. - Joey Gibson

don't get hung up at Stalingrad... :-p - Live4Emma (L4S)

Funny, for all my love of war gaming, I have never, ever played Risk. I've never even seen it other than in photographs. - Akiva Moskovitz

L4S, I was playing the USSR so I was pretty much prepared to let Germany roll over my first line of defenses. I just needed to hold the line until winter and then build up a huge second line of conscripts in January '42 and let the snow take care of everything else. By then, the US would be entering the war, too, and it would've split Germany's production and focus by half. - Akiva Moskovitz

if not for that idiot from Austria, the Germans would have conquered Europe....they were within sight of Moscow before the winter...well thankfully for the Allies, General Akiva is running things.... :-) - Live4Emma (L4S)

thought you were playing ASL? - Live4Emma (L4S)

that looks like risk. i played it some years back, and i still have it. i played it with some slightly different rules however bcause the game sometimes be too long. - Alfredo

L4S, we play a lot of different games. - Akiva Moskovitz

I thought that photo was Risk. Oh well. - Joey Gibson

Joey, it's Europe Engulfed. - Akiva Moskovitz

Alfredo, a full 1939-1945 campaign game can take up to 12 hours to play. And that's nothing: in the game World in Flames, a full campaign game can take up to 40 hours or so to play. - Akiva Moskovitz

yeah that's why - Alfredo

ohhhh...I used to play ASL quite a bit when was a kid...biggest claim to fame, i sniped Rommel in France in 1940...my friend decided to try to have Rommel cross a river on a dingy and one of my French Snipers rolled a 2 and poof...changed the direction of WWII just like that...should have seen the look on his face when he realized what happened and he had to remove him from the board...haha... - Live4Emma (L4S)

Hah, I bet! Reminds me of when some friends and I would play Axis & Allies as teenagers. One time, I took Berlin alone as the UK. It pretty much surprised everyone, including the other Allies, and essentially ended the game on the spot. Good times, good times. - Akiva Moskovitz

L4E nice! - Alfredo

HAHAHA...nothing like eliminating a 10-3 Field Marshal! Played A&A a bit too...never could get into the larger tactical stuff...really stuck mostly to the squad and company level stuff...ASL...Panzer Leader...stuff like that.... - Live4Emma (L4S)

L4S, you understand, then, what I mean when I say that our living room is pretty much covered with counters for these games! Akiva's clipping the corners and I keep finding pieces of the corners all over the place... - Rochelle

hahaha!!! wait till Audrey gets more mobile!!! i'm sure you'll find a Tiger Tank or two in her play pen half chewed up! :-p and yes, the GAME is hella fun...the cleanup SUCKS ASS! - Live4Emma (L4S)

I thought this was a room-sized picture and you just gave Louis Gray the ultimate checkmate in play spaces for newly mobile children...... - Matthew DeVries

Wait! Isn't ASL what kids ask when you join one of those immaturish chat rooms? - Yuvi
