Full disclosure, I’ve played two full length games with two players and one with three, as well as a couple of games that didn’t run their full length because frankly, there’s a long wait between turns. Games of Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition take upwards of three or four hours on a good day, and that’s really only possible when you have two players controlling all six nations. Thankfully, an almost identical reprint was commissioned earlier this year and I’ve been playing it for a couple of weeks now.
It sold out quickly at first release and for a while, the price of sealed copies was upwards of 500 dollars on popular auction sites, such was the public demand. Others introduced new pieces, rules and features such as submarine and destroyer units, or the extremely useful battle board.Īxis and Allies Anniversary Edition was first released in 2009 and represents the culmination of all of these improvements, offering players a huge map of the world that spans three normal sized boards as well as a ridiculous 650 plus pieces. Some focussed on specific theatres of war in more detail, such as Axis & Allies Pacific, released in 2001. It was first released in 1984 just one year after I was born, and there have been so many iterations and re-releases of it that it’s almost impossible to keep track of them. Axis & Allies is a board game that has stood the test of time.
