Dear all,

New AH game - perhaps a 40th anniversary Legacy edition?

… introduced me to the concept of ‘Legacy Games’. I must admit this was almost totally new for me. Did some readings about Risk Legacy.

Now let me ask you:

Could an Legacy Edition of Axis and Allies work?

Of course I would buy it. But I seriously doubt if this could be a good concept for Axis and Allies. It might.

What are your ideas?
Espcially if you have played some of the Legacy games then please post your views on Axis and Allies Legacy here.

@thrasher1 Best I can come up with is something that starts at Napoleonic Wars (or even further back).

Then based on winner of that you get an alternate setup for Crimean War for your next game.

Then you get an alternate WW1, alternate Interwar Period, alternate WW2, etc. Seems like you’d run out of possibilities eventually though.

@domanmacgee Thanks for your idea, Don.

But such a game (series of games) would be huge. And at the very least you would need new plastic playing pieces for each new era / time period…
