This game is incredibly fun. This is a great strategy game to play over several days. I would reccomend you play against the A.I until you get the hang of it and then play online games for an increased challenge.

It's hard to find people that are willing to play Axis & Allies IRL. It takes a solid 30 minutes to set-up (if you know what you're doing), hours to play, and the dice miraculously roll extremely high. This game solves

Quite a good game. Not too complicated to play, but not so simplified that it bears no relation to reality. I only play games against the AI and I find the AI is basically pretty stupid. So to make games a bit more

The AI is junk, good for learning the game, nothing else. However, the rank play PvP is top tier, the axis and allies genre has taken Gen Con by storm and the online reflects that with 4000+ active players.

The dice in this game seemed designed to shock the player to their core and destroy any preexisting belief that there is fairness in the universe. Players are consistently penalized by the dice for ordering "strong"
