An awesome board game from Avalon Hill that lets players choose to play as either Axis or Allies. I personally own Axis and Allies Europe (which is the best in my opinion), but I also play Axis and Allies D-day and original Axis and Allies.
I'm just curious...does anyone else play the game? If not you really should because if you like WWII games, then you'd love this. The trouble is finding people to play with

I've always wanted to give it a try, but never got around to it.

[Tymathee]

I thought you said it's a board game

[panzerman]

man people are getting bored waiting for the next big patch and doctrine's lol

talking about board games lol

[Trishut]

I have Axis and Allies Europe and have played it a couple of times. Axis can only win if they rush Moskva as fast as the can before USA have time to come in and help. So it gets boring after a few times you play it.

I don't know how funnier the original Axis and Allies is but I regret I didn't bought that one instead, atleast German have an allied. Boardgames är expensiv...

All the A&A games become repetitive in time. Always having the same line-up at start + frozen alliances makes it easy to find the best strategies. After that its just down to the dice rolling.

I would recommend Twillight Empire if you want something similar, but less repetitive.

Axis and Allies is great, Like was mentioned it can get repetitive. but thats typical only at the start. Based on the dice rolls the game quickly takes on a life of it's own.

The worst rolling i ever did was as Axis trying to take moscow. I decided to stop the attack for a turn because i was low on infantry(Fodder units to protect your Power units-Tanks which hit on a 3 or less) I had 13 tanks 4 infantry and 1 fighter. the russian player decided to attack me with 16 infantry(hit on a 1 on attack)

I did not kill a single Russian infantyr and lost everything. Both infantry and tanks defend on a 2 or less and fighters defend on a massive 4 or less and i failed to even kill 1 unit.

World edition > Europe edition for sure, much less repetitive.
You can play it online by the way.

The game is a little repetitive but it's always me (the experienced player), my friend (played a couple of times) and a complete noob so we always have a different game every time. The trouble is finding people who will play it so I always have to team up with a complete noob and sometimes we win but sometimes we lose. You always give the noobs russia because they don't have to build sea units and it's a pretty straight forward faction. Just don't die xD and let the US save you.

D-day is almost impossible to win as the allies. I've won as the allies once in the last dice roll of the 9th turn. You have to capture 3 victory cities by the end of the 9th turn because you have to hold them for the whole 10th turn without any contested battles (because you don't immediately resolve all battles in D-day). So there's always ONE TANK or something contested in St Lo that throws the whole game away for allies.

A and A pacific is actually pretty cool. It's almost completely naval and creates some interesting battles.

As far as the repetition goes, it's supposed to be that way honestly. It's supposed to be pretty much historically accurate, yet the players can make different decisions if they want to change the fate of their faction. Like when I captured Britain in Europe xD.

in one sense, this game is teh shit played it loads its great!

[Groundfire]

I own the boardgame. got no one to play it with, so i found an online version.

It's very popular online, the only thing is that the community are a bunch of pencil pushing, procedure driven nazi zombies.
Game last for 5 years (turns), majority games use no-luck dice rolling shit so they know what they need to win fights.
Spectators commentate and quote what your country's income should be 3 turns from the present, and your teammates bitch when you dont meet that quota.

They boot ppl with losing records and you cannot experiement with stuff.

As Germany, mabey I feel like building a shit ton of u-boats to own the atlantic, so i can take down the US, and neglect the eastern front a tad. They'll boot you mid game and find a player to replace you...

It's far too comeptitive and games always play out the same with no variation in strategy

[crimsonrabbit]

Didn't they make a PC game from this board game?
Also known as Axis and Allies?

[Falcon333]

There are lots of iterations of A&A for the PC, some of them are even freeware.

[Piotrskivich]

I have The original, Axis and Allies Revised, pacific, and D-Day.

Axis and Allies revised is by far the best, there is also a pretty balanced variant somewhere.

[3rdCondor]

I do mean what I say though, if you like EIR and WWII altogether, you'd love Axis and Allies.

[EIRRMod]

Im drawing in ideas from Axis & Allies, Risk, Panzer general and even some CCG themes for the war map.

If you like A&A - EIR:R is going to get a whole FUCKLOAD more interesting for you when the warmap comes.
