AAP was the most balanced game with milton bradley coming in 2nd. I did like the hellcats sculpt and the fleet markers, but the red Japanese bugged me and the map was too small.
What would an Axis and Allies movie look like?

Let me guess, you used AI to get that result. I identified GPT’s writing style.
No worries.

@superbattleshipyamato
The camera pans over a stylized map of the world in the early 1940s, the eve of World War 2. We see animated troop movements and naval maneuvers over the Atlantic and Pacific, as the major powers make their opening moves.We get glimpses into the war rooms and cabinets of Roosevelt, Churchill, Hitler and Tojo. Passionate arguments are made about how to gain the upper hand in the early stages of the spreading conflict. Egos and ideologies clash, but there is uncertainty too - no one knows how this global struggle will ultimately play out.
Cut to boots-on-the-ground perspectives from soldiers and civilians in Europe, Asia, the Soviet Union and the Americas. We follow characters from these key countries, showing how the grand strategies of generals and leaders play out in human terms. Some choose to resist, others seek to profit, most are simply caught up in the upheaval against their will.
As alliances form, the action intensifies. Epic tank battles rage across the Russian steppe, u-boats stalk merchant convoys in the Atlantic, and carrier fleets launch aircraft across the Pacific. The fate of nations hangs in the balance with each campaign. Technological and tactical innovations, hard-won lessons and bitter defeats all shape the course of the war.
Old empires crumble, superpowers emerge, and nothing will ever be the same. A new global order is forged in the fires of a total war that reaches a scale never before seen in human history.
All of this plays out to a grand, emotive score. The visuals aim to capture both the human experience and sweeping historical significance of these world-changing events. By the end, the audience has glimpsed both the personal and global consequences of this monumental conflict.
Roll credits.

I think someone beat you to it lol

Sounds good.

Well, it’s 5 years old, I couldn’t comment anyway. Nice ideas there.

Would be a major marketing coup. One doesn’t have to go to hollywood to make movies these days. Internet allows you to bypass.
Wonder if Renegade would be interested ? https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/39599/more-announcements-from-renegade?_=1682827663785
Obviously, one would want it done up in style, which would take talented people and a lot of work, but …

Really? I guess that’s true. I agree, I hope Renegrade comes up with something.
-
This is an interesting idea. I’ll give it some thought.

Welcome back!

@superbattleshipyamato Thank you

What if the movie played like the Jumanji movie, where a player makes moves and then there is live action scene played out.
OR
Have the actual events of World War Two have been the results of an Axis and Allies game.
-
I think there’s potential there. I was trying to think of a way the characters would replace the minds of World War 2 commanders, and this is the perfect way to do it.

@abworsham4 That one 1980’s War Game movie but it’s a board game that looks a lot like Axis and Allies (or Global War 2025)

Greetings:
I envision more of a Toy story / Night at the museum, where the pieces animate. With a Red v Blue bent. Making jokes about rule intricacies.Picture a large Japanese naval group discussing their impending sneak attack.
A lone British destroyer sails up,
“Hi everybody, my names Karl”.
Stuff like that.
Cheers. -

I also thought of that. I think that’s a good idea.
