Well “back in my day”, growing up as a teen/young-adult in the 1980s, we didn’t have much in the way of computer games. Back then every game was a board game of some type for the most part, and while I did play extensively the more “grognard” hard-core board wargames like just about everything from Avalon Hill and SPI, and Axis and Allies was just another game I got into in my youth which was simpler to play with my friends. There was always something “beer and pretzels” about Axis and Allies back in the 1980s that to this day still attracts me to the game. I’ve recollected (is that a word) and customized my current 2nd-Edition version of the game, and spent quite a bit on extra units, printed game-boards and the like… all with few people to play against, but it’s part game, part collectible, and its fun either way.

does anyone know how well “d-day” sold? did it sell well enough for hasbro (or WOTC or whoever the heck owns avalon hill nowadays) to make another axis and allies game for a specific battle? also, i heard that a PC game was in the making for axis and allies europe. does anyone know about that?

The Battle of Stalingrad was so big and bloody, if it would have fallen I can only imagine what it would have forced the US to do to end the Euro conflict…

Id want all of them :D
-
but do you know if d-day sold well enough for another game like it to be made by hasbro?
-
do you think it’s even possible for another to be made??
-
I dont know how well it sold, but i know its a pretty good game, guadalcanal would make a cool game.
