Having trouble teaching somebody to play axis and allies try The Dessert Fox’s basic training
Lesson 1
Teaching the movement of land and air units.
This is pretty easy except a few rules
#1 Blitzing
Teach this by Setting up a number of situations where you can blitz and you can’t blitz. Then tell them the rule and use some of the examples. Next get them to do some examples and then re-cap on the pieces movement and then come back to a few more examples and see if they remember how to do it if not read the rule and show them and then repeat.
#2 Landing a fig on a zone and then moving a cv to pick it up.
Try do this when you involve naval units
Lesson 2
Attack and defence dice and battles
Easy just use a battle board and if you don’t have one draw one up
Lesson 3
Practice
Use a set up with only the SU and Germany and play. Remind them of how to pmove when they make mistakes of movement
Set the board up with the territories that have units in them(note don’t use the units as what to place there I need to do some more play testing of this as a failed UKR attack on SU1 kills the game)
Also give each power a starting income of 40. Change the territories values like this. Germany: normal value + 2 Soviet Union: Normal value x 2 +1 (except Kazakh which is just double the normal value)
Turn order SU then Germany
Also Remove all naval units
To win you need to take the other powers capital its a Berlin/Moscow race
