The rules were created by Larry Harris, the creator of Axis & Allies and has additionally been worked on by several players and tournament game masters. The objective of the LHTR rules are to calrify existing rules and re-work other rules to help game balance while still maintaining the spirit of the game.

For the past several months a group of members on the forums have been hard at work designing a new variant of Axis & Allies Revised complete with new rules, an alternative map, and new country setup cards.

From the forward to the rules, "This variant is intended to provide historical realism to the board game Axis and Allies Revised and is designed to work on top of LHTR 1.3 (Larry Harris Tournament Rules). All other rules issues not covered in this variant are addressed under LHTR."
