Has anyone ever played this amazing strategy board game? I have always been a big fan of it, but as of recently, something sparked my interest in it again. It's so much better than Risk.

I have heard that it takes a good while to play. They have it on sale for $40 at the local hobby shop but I refuse to get it haha.

I like Risk, so I'll look into this.

I recommend that you pick up and try the Classic Axis & Allies board game and not the 2004 Revised Edition. The one that I am talking about can be seen here: www.areyougame.com/Interact/item.asp?itemno=AV4423&sa=0I also would not recommend jumping into the advanced sets such as D-Day, Europe, or Pacific. Stick with the original for now, it still rules! Oh, if you do decide to play and need help with rules or strategy, just ask!

I've played to the computerized version of it. It's pretty damn fun.

Last summer at camp some people brought it and we made up rules for a combined Axis and Allies in both the european and pacific theaters. Fucking complicated. I loved it, even though I really played only parts of China, where we mostly got infantry and defended.

Well, if anyone is having poor luck in finding a copy in stores, that's ok. The game is a rare sight these days in stores, so your best bet (and sometimes the cheapest bet, although shipping runs up to $10) is to purchase it online. Good place to buy Axis and Allies: www.areyougame.com/interact/category.asp?cat=Avalon+HillAnyone have it? I'd like to discuss some strategy with some peeps here.
