It takes a little while to get used to the differences, but no, it's not overly complicated. Let me know what you think if you start playing!

...and I like that this doesn't seem as cut and dry as Risk without being too overly complicated. I'll definitely have to check this out as soon as I get time to play games again. Thanks so much for the heads up! You did great on the KIFM leg of your tour. ;-)

I have the old MB version, but they are putting out a new version now, "Axis and Allies, Revised". It looks pretty cool - they didn't add the Marines that are in the video game, but they did add Destroyers and Artillery. There are also A&A Europe, A&A Pacific and A&A D-Day out. I would love to try them, but I can't afford $40 a piece for the games - particularly when it's so hard to get enough players now!

Thanks for the comment -- Marty

Awesome game. Played it all the time as back in the eighties with my brother. back then it was put out by Milton Bradley, I think. The only drawback was setting up all the pieces, though that was by no means as onerous a task it was for AH's old strategy board games. Nice that you could have so many players,too.

Great review!
