How does this game compare to Axis and Allies?
I own a copy of this game, but I have not played it yet.
Looks cool , are the game pieces A&A scale ? i might just get the game pieces for Germany lol

Yes - I believe he pieces are the same scale.
@Brain:

Now guess what, I too own this game, but some of my pieces was not in the old A&A scale.
The infantry are slightly bigger than the old A&A inf, but same size as the new A&A inf.
The tanks and fighters are way too huge.
The ships are almost same size as A&A, but they are not cut in the waterline, they actually come with the full hull, with rudder and screw and everything, man.
You better listen to Aldertag as I do not have my game handy. It is in storage at the moment.
Thanks guys lol
Humm but the pieces look quite detailed >< i want my tiger ! and jet fighters !

Better get used to the -karma. Everytime I log on I have 3 or 4 more. I think that there is someone who’s sole purpose for logging into this forum is to dish out -karma. Some people never grow up, or who knows maybe it is some kid. It’s definitely childish behavior. I’ll give you a +1 to make you feel better.
I have the game. I’ve played it several times and just the map was worth the cost. the pieces are the same or close enough. Adlertag is a smartass in case it isn’t clear…
Yeah, well I’m kind of a smart ass too. I thought the pieces were close in size but I haven’t had a chance to compare them lately.
I had a copy of this game as well. Has since been sold - not what I wanted.
As has already been stated, all countries have teh same German pieces.
The ships certainly be used in Axis & Allies. There was the Bismarck for a BB, Graf Zepplin for a CV, and the late late war type XXIII (is that the right designation? Can’t remember). I just prefer the waterline approach of Hasbro’s ships.
The planes are double the size at least. The fighter was a Me262.
2 types of infantry: regular and Waffen SS. They are a bit taller than Hasbro’s.
The artillery is about the same size - it is the rocket artillery used later in the war.
2 tanks: a regular tank that is a Tiger, and a heavy tank that is a Maus.
Their choice of pieces I really thought was odd to represent what they wanted, like teh fighter, sub, artillery and heavy tank. Especially when it came to the Maus for a heavy tank. The Germans only built 2 prototypes, and it was a complete failure.
The pieces are really nice, though. I kept 2 Tigers to use as heavy tanks for myself. I also kept 2 Russian Tigers and carved Josef Stalins out of them. Turned out well.
Cheers
Let me point out that even though I didn’t care for the game, customer service from Pegasus games was excellent. I had a badly crinkled map, and though the store Ai bought it from would do nothing for me, Pegasus shipped me out a new map the same day I talked to them.
How is the game itself?
