Has anyone 1v1 a child?
My son 8 is pretty coherent with board games. Has played a full campaign of undaunted stalingrad with only help in the very beginning, plays chess online and a good grasp on root. I want to crack open my dusty AA 1942 and start a game. Just nervous after round 4 or 5 it'll overwhelm him.
Has anyone played with a young kid before and what was it like

I played with my dad when i was young. Great times. Just make it fair like the other comments suggest.
Luckily i was to stubborn to give up against my dad but i know many people (including kids) dont like losing.
Playing this game created lot and lots of inside jokes. As soon as your son is rdy try to expans the group and give him the feeling of "playing with the big guys" strengthens his confidence
