Axis and Allies series are by far the best world war 2 strategy board games.
Play as either the Axis (Germany or Japan) or the Allies (US or UK or the USSR) against your oponent. Command your units to victory !
The game consists of no less then 370 pieces overall, which are roughly divided amongst the factions. Pieces are : *artillery, tanks, infantry *Bombers, fighters *Aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers,destroyers, submarines *Transport ships *Anti-Aircraft guns *Industrial complexes
Not only the military side matters, having a good economy to back it up is crucial.
There are game rules to follow and goals to achieve to achieve victory.
Also there is a chance you run out of certain pieces so having another Axis and Allies set to scavenge from would be a good idea.
Might seem daunting at first but once well studied of the rules etc it will be easy to master.
Please note this is the first edition, the second edition Axis and Allies Spring 1942 is not up for sale here.
