Description:

I have been playing Axis & Allies for over 15 years now, and have
loved every bit of it. I would like to get several people involved in
a series of PBEM Axis & Allies games. Provided I receive enough
interest I am going to set out an on-line order submission form and
on-line game history logs as well as map shots and the like. The first
step, obviously, is to ensure there are enough players interested to
make this effort worthwhile. To ensure interest is kept up, I will
start the first games via the standard method of e-mail and gradually
transition over to the other system. Let me ensure you that (a) there
is no cost associated with this and (b) this is not in any way
associated with AAMC, IAAPA or any other previously established group
of A&A players.

Initially all games will be standard Axis & Allies on the original
board with Japan starting with super subs and Germany starting with
Jet Power. Russia will not be able to attack turn 1. As the player
base grows, I will make multiple other options available including
other maps, alternative rules and bidding for axis/allies start up.
Right now, I think it is better to start with the basics and go from there.

If you are interested, please reply with the following information:
Name (first is okay, first and last is prefered)
Alias (if you prefer to use one for games)
e-mail address
secondary e-mail address
preference of countries (list all five, prefered first, least prefered last)
preference of allies or axis (in the event of a less that five player game)
response time (can you respond to an e-mail daily, every three days, weekly)
additional information (anything I may need to know)
profile information (anything you would want other players to know
if/when I get a players roster online)
skill rating (be honest, I would like to match player skill levels
pretty closely - rate beginner, intermediate, advanced or expert)
web skills (only include this if you are interested in someday
assisting with this project should it take off, I would be glad of
getting some player assistance as well)

I look forward to hearing from you as this project commences, and hope
this is the beginning of a long and mutually enjoyable relationship.
