Axis &amp; Allies Tired of ads?

Anyone up for a game - any version? We can work out details of how to play, if anyone wants to.

There's a freeware Axis & Allies game (with multiplayer capability) called "Dogs of War." Anyone up for that?

Zylka - I'm up for it. I propose that we roll dice for each person on our own moves (ie if I attack I roll attack and defense dice), and handle losses in a logical, good faith way - basically trust each other.

You up for it? You can pick sides first.

I'm up for it, as long as I don't have to be Sovjet.

First time I played it Sovjet was conquered after 20 min and the guy who was playing it just went home without saying a word.

I can play any country...

BTW, here are some extra rules I propose:
1. Russia can't attack first turn.
2. USA can't attack Germany before Germany attacks the US (Germany declares war on the US if, for example, it has a fighter in Russian controlled Karelia, and Germany attacks Karelia).
3. Same thing with Russia and Japan.

That rule virtually guarantees an Axis victory - but as long as I'm Axis I don't mind

As for the dice thing, do you mean online dice rolls, or standard?

I seem to remember and old Axis & Allies Windows game that somebody from Apolyton sent to me. Don't remember whether it was really called Axis & Allies, but was a carbon copy. Really small (3 MB), with internet play...

edit: It was called Dogs of War...

I've never seen an experienced set of allies lose without these rules, unless they had horrible dice rolls.

Ramo: Yeh, I just read the first page and you mentioned it earlier. Doh!

I played it a long time ago, but don't have a copy. I still have dogsofwar.ini on my machine.

I would be up for playing it, if anybody has a copy lying around.

Acutally it doesn't, depending how you interpret that rule. For example, there is a whole bunch of US infantry units in one of the USSR areas. When Germany launches at attack against it, does it count as an attack against the US?
