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 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.

|  Good but not the Best
Very fine Game, excellent for Entry and Apprentice Skills, but Samurai Swords (alias Shogun) is in my opinion the Best GAME of the Gamemaster Series

|  Once you get the strategy
Once the strategy has been learned, mix it up by making a new twist to the game.
We roll for each country for infantry tanks planes and so on.
It makes every game a whole new experience.
Great game, makes you think.
You learn a lot about how your freinds minds work as well

I love this game and a 3.5 rating does not do justice.

| Best Game Ever!!!!!!!!!!
I personally love this game. Me and my brothers play it all the time or at least when we get the chance. And they would say the same thing. This is the GREATEST GAME EVER!!!!!

| AWESOME
Axis and Allies is AWESOME!! I love how everything is much more realistic than the original and everything is better made. Have Fun with it, I know I have!

|  Good at first, but...
A & A is a great game for beginners in the hobby. The components are beautiful, the theme exciting and the game is engaging.
However, it is not the Queen Mother of all Strategy Games. It does have a winning strategy, and once that is discovered, the game plays out the same each time and gets dull. If you want a true strategy game that is different every time, try the new edition of Conquest of the Empire, or the old Samurai Swords. Again, it has its merits, but anyone who thinks this is the best game out there REALLY should try some other games soon. Life is too short to stay with A & A forever.
