Just wanted to mention another place to play online, which probably won’t be going AA50 anytime soon (so if you want a place to play Revised for a while, it’d fit the bill): the IAAPA, which can be found at axisandallies.net
This is one of the oldest A&A clubs around, and these folks are so old school that most of the gaming there is still 2nd edition! That’s right, Revised is cutting edge at the IAAPA. However, don’t be too quick to dismiss them, they have some very good players including some very good Revised players. I’ve played in a number of their Revised tournaments (they have three per year) and have never made it to the finals.
So, is this actually a game I can buy?

I am not too sure what Axis and Allies: Revised is. Is it an actual game you can buy, or is it just another set of rules you can use for Axis and Allies?
-
no it is a totally new game…

Snowman, if you see Axis and Allies in the store and it is made by Avalon Hill, that IS Revised.
Some of us old farts call the new version “Revised” to distinguish it form the Milton Bradley version from 15 or so years ago.

Thanks for the help guys! :-)

Yeah I was really confused too when I bought my copy of A&A revised because I didn’t see “revised” on the cover. You can tell it’s revised because it says “new destroyer and artillery pieces!” and it just says axis and allies, not some other variant like pacific/europe.
