Dear all,
The questions we asked ourselves so often:
Will there be a new Axis and Allies game?
And if so: what subject would it cover?
And of course: what would you like or buy?
OK, this has been discussed constantly since the eighies. Still, here we go:
(1) Global War
Another incarnation of the Axis vs. Allies played on a world map.
(2) Specific Theatres
So for example a game about the East Front in Europe only? Or - that would be one I would like to see: A game covering warfare in the Med.
(3) Specific Battles
We had three of these. Maybe a game about Arnhem or Kursk or Midway?
(4) ‘Non-realistic Settings’
Like AAZ. Maybe Axis and Allies and Aliens?
Or Axis and Allies on a hypothetical worldmap (so basically on an other earth-like planet)
Or a game just using the Axis and Allies game system about space warfare (so no relation with WWII).
(5) Non-WWII Settings: Modern Period
Axis and Allies 1914 was released. So maybe a Vietnam or Korea game? A hypthetical WWIII game (set in the 70s or 80s).
(6) Non-WWII Settings: Pre-1900
This is one ‘market segment’ where I think there is a serious chance for a good product. I seriously think an Axis and Allies (game system) based Civil War game can work. Same for an American Revolution game.
Also: a Napolean game?
A game more like Shogun / Samurai Swords?
Please add your ideas and opinions. And please also state cleary what you would like to see and what is realistically a possible new release. I would surely buy a Axis and Alllies WWIII game but I do not think the appeal of such a game is big enough (as in: set in the Cold War era). Then again: maybe I am wrong.
