Description:
Decide the fate of a nation and the destiny of the world when you play this World War II Strategy Game!
The year is 1942. The Axis war machine appears invincible. The Balkans have fallen. Pearl Harbor has been attacked. Wake Island is in Japanese hands. And Rommel has the British on the run in North Africa.
At this explosive time in history, Axis & Allies challenges you and your opponents to decide the outcome of World War II. As one of the world powers battling for supremacy in 1942, you must spearhead your country's military drive. During play, you'll discover that the theaters of war remain the same and the familiar embattled frontiers still exist, but astonishing events will occur. The Battle of Midway could be lost by the United States--the Russians might not stand at Stalingrad--MacArthur may never return to the Philippines--and the Normandy invasion could happen again and again.
As a world leader in Axis & Allies, you must be a brilliant military strategist. You must have the perseverance of a Montgomery, the elusiveness of a Rommel, the courage of a Patton, the daring of a Yamamoto and the steadfastness of a Zhukov!
Decide where to strike, when to strike and the intensity of the strike. Will it be a strategic bombing raid, a sneak submarine attack, a hit-and-run assault by your well-trained infantry, an antiaircraft barrage or a major invasion by land, sea and air forces? Plan your attack, move into the embattled territory with your forces and resolve the conflict.
The economic destiny of your nation is also at stake. Buy armaments and develop secret weapons from your stockpile of production certificates... an income based on your own natural resources and successful territorial expansion.
If you're a brilliant military strategist, a prudent economist and an astute politician, you'll lead your nation to victory.

Our Rating:
Our Review:
This game is an extraordinarily complex war simulation of World War II. Although the strategy aspects of the game are exceptional, the gameplay is slow, the rules are complex, and the turns seem to come all too infrequently.

 game rocks
Bought it for my brother for Christmas and it totally consumed Christmas day for us. Granted it took about 4 hours from opening the box till we rolled our first turn! Aside from the high learning curve and long setup the game is a lot of fun and gets better and better as the game progresses. We had to call a truce at about midnight....when things were really getting interesting.

 The best
So far i've played it a few times and everybody has loved it. It takes a while to explain but once people catch on its a lot of fun. The only problem is its really, by no means a pick up and play game and a lot of people could be easily discouraged just by the amount of time the set up takes.

Great Game
The game is complex but once you have played it a couple of times it becomes familar. Eventually with the people I play with we change the rules. We play until the other team is totally destroyed! but we haven't finished a game yet ha ha one team always surrenders

history actually is interesting!!!
This game is by far the best game with a good 20 hours at hand. When you are winning you feel that there is nothing better you can do, but when loosing you feel you just want to forfeit. I've played over 20 times and I have yet to complete a single game. Every time by around the 5th turn which is like 4 hours the losing side wants to quit. Out of those twenty, id say ive wanted to quit 10 out of ten times that I was loosing. Three times ive stuck it out and ended up conquering germany with russia. At one point I even lost mossco on the first time do some seriously bad rolling and that allies came to my aid and we won. Although it may suck when losing just stick it out for 4 or 5 games untill u get the stradegy because then youll really enjoy it. Axis and Allies is the perfect blend of strategy and excitement. Remember there are allies there for a reason. Make sure you use them. This is the best game I've ever played.
