I think my main interest here is in tweaking and customization, and in my ongoing search for the spark of genius from those Caspian Sub articles. These days I’m a father of two with a real job, and A&A and board gaming in general is solidly on the back burner, but I dream, and host the occasional game night. I own AAR, 41, 42, 42.2, and AA50, but my copy of AAR (with Italy as a separate power sharpied and taped on to the board) will always have a special place in my heart. I can’t tell you how many times I have read those papers! I would say the real “hook” moment for me was discovering the Caspian Sub AAR strategy articles in the old yahoo group. I finally bought AAR in college and drummed up a group of guys to play it with a few times every semester. We woke up when it was still dark every morning and played some sort of A&A-army-men-hybrid with the pieces (boards were flipped), which developed over the years into actually reading the rules and playing the game as intended many times. I first played A&A in middle school when my board-flipping cousins brought a copy of classic A&A to a family retreat. Hi All, I’m Nate from Detroit, MI in the US, currently living near Portland OR.
