A set of expansion rules for Milton Bradley's Axis & Allies boardgame. Commonsense and realistic revisions to the standard game's rules for aircraft flight ranges, aircraft carriers, income calculation, industrial complexes, creation of new units, retreats, victory conditions, and more. The standard game's antiaircraft gun rules are the most unrealistic rules in the whole game. The introduction of these simple artillery rules will drastically alter the course of play (for the better). One extremely unrealistic aspect of the standard game is that players get to choose their own losses. So the strongest attack units, the ones that historically did most of the fighting and took higher casualties, are the last ones lost in the standard game. This rule set brings a much needed degree of realism and unpredictability onto the battlefield.
