I've played it online quite a lot, and face to face a couple times with some friends. It was fun. But I am tired of such dice dependent games. I mean, some chance is fine, but 1D6?!

I still quite enjoy games that use dice. You know the risk, you take your chance. They aren't like those games that try to find some phony work-around to randomness.Originally posted by Anun Ik Oba

Everytime we played Axis and allies, we ended up in a fist fight.
Soviet Union ALWAYS died. But it contributed alot before its collapse. Our Win ratio of Axis was about 50 - 50, that is if we managed to finsih the game before someone threw the board out the window.:-pComment

Yes, of all boardgames, A&A is most likely to result in some kind of violent confrontation from my experience.
You really have to watch the Soviet Union player, especially if you started drinking beer around turn 1. The SU realizes that he has no chance and that he's drunk at almost the exact same moment."We are living in the future, I'll tell you how I know, I read it in the paper, Fifteen years ago" - John PrineComment

still my all time fav board game. Takes sooo long to set up though
. I was getting fairly fast for a while though.
but if you have decent allied players winning with the axis is so difficult.Comment

Germans left air units to France (bombimb and strike)...
and attack some ships... so warII is begind...
And some times Gemans can attack/capture Franc to first turn...
Some turns later allies and azis waiting "allies"
and then begind at war at africa. It is end with halved Brittish/french and italians.And same time japan try attack aasia.Usa first only try stop theys ships/air units...
Russians try stop defensilly at all begin but after 10 or 11 turns aasia is russians and north africa also,and scandinaavia... allies have franch and are ready attack/capture italy/german. Usa is ready capture japan... and some turns later there is only "allies"...
Some times i look whoos at win all... What surpise...

I love A&A the board game. the computer game sucks, theres no one to taunt or plan with. People is what makes it such a great game, there are so many different things that can happen. Where as the computer is predictable.
How can you lose as the Soviet Union!?!?
Im always stuck with the good ole Commies and I always end up marching through Berlin. Maybe you guys just play with bumps on logs for allied players. Ive played the other countries a couple of times, but I like playing as Russia.Comment

A skilled German player can usually march through Russia in a heartbeat, or at least knock out all their production centers.Originally posted by Space05us

no way.
If Russia does nothing but build infantry and you have decent U.S. and U.K. players it is nearly impossible to lose you capitol. They will lose their other production center- Karelia I think it is called.
But usually they are just barely hanging on when the U.S. or U.K. takes western Europe or Finland.Comment

German-French (Germans Win)
German-Brittain (Germans Bombing England)

Yes way. Russia is at an instant and large disadvantage because it has to face a huge early German onslaught as well as Japan on the east, which in the board game actually attacks Russia. It also has the least IPCs, and there ain't no lend-lease! In nearly every game I have played, Russia has gotten knocked out early on, and that's with all levels of people playing Russia.Originally posted by Dissident

Maybe you just haven't had very skilled people opposing you as the Axis.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment
