Huge axis and allies board blocked out for me.

AAP was the most balanced game with milton bradley coming in 2nd. I did like the hellcats sculpt and the fleet markers, but the red Japanese bugged me and the map was too small.

Well “back in my day”, growing up as a teen/young-adult in the 1980s, we didn’t have much in the way of computer games.  Back then every game was a board game of some type for the most part, and while I did play extensively the more “grognard” hard-core board wargames like just about everything from Avalon Hill and SPI, and Axis and Allies was just another game I got into in my youth which was simpler to play with my friends.  There was always something “beer and pretzels” about Axis and Allies back in the 1980s that to this day still attracts me to the game.  I’ve recollected (is that a word) and customized my current 2nd-Edition version of the game, and spent quite a bit on extra units, printed game-boards and the like… all with few people to play against, but it’s part game, part collectible, and its fun either way.

I’ve been lurking around on this site for a while but finally registered today. and I just wanted to give a few examples of online games for axis and allies. well, my number one favorite is gamesbyemail.com, it has the original axis and allies game on it, and its free. another one (but not as good) is battleforces.com, its kind of like A&A, but not exactly. if anyone knows of a website where you can play against a cpu, please let me know.

That book could include the rules for every edition printed, and a special 25 page atlas for Global 1940.

Don’t forget simple side tips for every board game

yep that would be cool, and History of the pieces (WITH PICS) color sculpts and other stuff.

I’m sure there would be room for a profile of this site and its founder  :wink:

Of course!

What about the song Axis and Allies by Fishhammer? It’s on youtube

@Imperious:

I would love to see a video of a chimps playing AA…each wearing the various helmets or caps of each nation in full regalia.

Imagine a chimp japanese admiral or Tojo looking fellow?

I wish somebody here had access to chimps ( other than WOTC).

oh well…

I think you are on to something.  :-D
Remember those Gremlin movies? I could just imagine chimps acting like that getting out of control and turning the game into a live action version where they start blowing each other up. :evil:
You should write and direct it and then get the staff from WOTC to star in it. :lol: :lol:

The Boards have been upgraded…

GG Out

Suppose to type this in or what. I dont see nothin.
