CC, this is way too controversial to be considered GD…
Well, yeah… when you are young an Axis and Allies (or Shogun or other Gamemaster game) is actually pretty expensive…
@thrasher1 If I remember correctly the 2nd Edition Axis and Allies cost me around 60.00-70.00 dollars. At age 16 that was a lot of Christmas cash.
That is a lot of money. Yes, in Netherlands the original Axis and Allies and Shogun both were pretty expensive.
And Fortress America? All we could do was look at the small picture at one of the sides of the Axis and Allies box and imagining what this game was and was about?
Remember: these were the pre-Internet years…
