Axis and allies £37
Manufacturer's Description
The redesigned edition of Axis & Allies emphasizes the game's dedication to historical detail,
including the revamping of play pieces to reflect real-life military vehicles. Now German tanks are
shaped like Panther tanks, while the U.S. and the U.K. tanks resemble Sherman tanks. Changes to
the fighter planes include transforming the U.K. fighters into Spitfires, the U.S. fighters into P-38
Lightnings, and the German fighters into Ju-87 Stukas.
While retaining Axis & Allies' historical flavor and complex strategy, updates to the game's rules --
such as new guidelines for weapons development research -- help streamline and improve game
balance. Other specific additions to the game include new sea zone configurations and even new
territories.
Review
In my own opinion through experience of playing this board game it is probably an underrated board
game that a lot of people have probably never experienced or even heard of. Axis and Allies is
great fun but not for the younger children. I would say it is one of our more adult choices as it has
some really small parts and lots of them! Ranging from infantry to battleships this game has
hundreds of pieces and makes for a true gaming experience. It is a very in depth game which takes
some understanding as the rules take a bit of getting used to and studying! It is not your basic role
the dice 4 beats 2, oh no there is more to it than that. For instance infantry attacking a tank you can’
t just role and have the infantry win there is an in game card on which it details the variations on
each scoring potential for all variations of pieces. It is an in depth board game which will not take 20
minutes to complete more like a couple of hours or more but is essentially one of the most
absorbing board games that I have ever played and one which I will continue to play for a long time.
