It is the spring of 1942. The world is at war. Five world powers are struggling for supremacy. You and
your opponents control the military and economic destiny of one or more of these countries.... In this
game, you'll discover that cooperation and negotiation are just as important as tactical maneuvering."
So begins the 32-page instruction manual for Axis & Allies. To win this complex strategy game, you must
learn to be a master economist and a brilliant military strategist and tactician. The game board is a map
of the world divided into the spheres of influence that existed at the height of World War II. Both the
Axis and Allied powers are allotted combat forces and income, measured in Industrial Production Certificates
(IPCs). You must manage your nation's economy and lead its military forces--air, land, and sea--into
well-chosen battles. The intricacies of the game are carefully spelled out, as are the criteria each
side must meet to become the victors. Contents include 299 detailed combat force playing pieces, IPCs,
dice, markers and chips to chart each country's progress, and everything you need to change the course
of history in under a day. For two to five players.
Axis and Allied variations focus in more detail on specific war theatres or specific battles.
This is one of the best available strategy games.

Axis & Allies Enhanced Realism Rules BUY NOW $19.95A 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. We've eliminated the randomness of the dice in weapons development, allowing players to buy and use the advanced technology they want. For Windows PCs.
