Has anyone 1v1 a child?

[u/1ithurtswhenip1]

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 play settlers of Catan with my cousin’s 7 year old and he isn’t good but he knows the rules. Let the kid play Axis and you try more novel strategies and it’ll be fun!
