3 out of 5 stars cheap   July 7, 2010

Wizards of the coast must have been going for the cheapest product of all time with this game. The board is way too small, and there's very little in the way of extras, like figure boxes and chips. There's not even enough chips to set up the board! after set up you can't even see europe any more. Aside from the low quality of this product, the game is very good. I've played the original alot, and i think this is a solid improvement. I will still be playing it as often as i can get others to join in, all the while grumbling about the board. Seriously, invest one more dollar in materials and charge ten more. All in all, i would still have bought it knowing what i now know.


4 out of 5 stars Axis and Allies is a very good game!!!   July 3, 2010
Alphanova
Axis and allies is a very good board game. I've been playing since the original and can say this is the easiest one to get into but also has great depth. These games can spur interest into a very important part of our history. It can do this while being very fun to play. To be able to get into Axis and Allies at such a great price is also a bonus.


2 out of 5 stars Cost Cutting was bad for this version.   July 1, 2010
Anthony J Lease (MINNEAPOLIS, MN, US)
I was disappointed when I got the game for the map size.
I setup 3 sides and , I remember saying to myself this will not work and could lead to friend fights.
No! that fighter plane was there! The old version even went so far to have blow up boxes for places that had large number of armies. Long story short, I returned the game and spent a few extra bucks and got the MB version.



5 out of 5 stars Very Addicting Game   June 24, 2010
Lucas Hoffman (TOLEDO, OH, US)
This game is extremely fun and I defy anyone to not get hooked on it! Once you work out how exactly to play it with a few friends or relatives, you will be coming back for more and more. Each time you play is a slightly new experience and a different strategy. Any war or history buff will love this game... no question. A perfect gift for strategy boardgame fans. If you like RISK, give Axis and Allies a try... it takes strategy boardgames to a new level.

The even better news... this is only the main product. If you love this game, the other Axis and Allies games (Europe 1940, Pacific 1940, D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, Guadalcanal) only get bigger and better. I would seriously recommend an upgrade to these after Axis and Allies 1942 has been well played.



5 out of 5 stars Great game with one flaw   June 24, 2010
Dubarnik (Converse, TX USA)
I absolutely love this latest edition of the game. There's only one major drawback and that's the size of the map. It's too small. But don't let that hold you back. Quit playing the earlier versions and go get A&A 1942!
