Axis and Allies PC game

[tjw0099]

I have had this PC game for quite some time and play it regularly.

I typically play Russia or Germany. On occasion the US.

I have a few questions that maybe someone here can answer or advise.

1. Is there a function to ‘group’ a naval fleet or plane squadron? It’s a bit aggravating having to click for each unit.

2. The US is passive and doesn’t really do much. Some games they will attack Africa and hit Eastern Europe or Norway. The computer doesn’t really play it well.

Observation, it would be nice to be able to add to the technology options. I always play with tech.

Anyway, love the game and just wish it were a bit more challenging.

Hi @tjw0099 not certain which game you’re referring to but you can play one of the 42 games here, forget which one it is,

and you can also play almost all of them on triplea

for some other options.

@barnee it was the PC game that came out in '95 I believe. The first one that was put on a cd.

Thanks for replying. I will check those sites out.

Microsoft used to have the ‘Game Zone’ and you could use the online option on the CD to play others online. They got rid of that many years ago.

You are most likely referring to the 1998 Hasbro CD ROM.
This has been a PC-Version of A&A Classic 2nd Ed. and included the 3rd Ed. rules.

We have some topics in the related “Classic” forum-category - to which I will move this topic now.

@Valladares might help you out. You’ll notice some topics created by him, there.

I thank you for your confidence, but the computer A&A games are not my strong suite. Ask about the physical board games and I’m there, though.

Good luck getting your answers all the same.
