But keep in mind the following exception:

@rulebook:

If a Japanese industrial complex is built on a Chinese territory
and that territory is later recaptured by the Chinese or liberated
by another Allied power, the industrial complex is removed from the game.

(If you play 1st Ed. it is on page 9.)

@Bolt-Action:

I’ve been thinking about getting axs and Allies for a while but I am only interested in a “classic” style game, with the whole world represented ( not D-day and so forth). Is it possible to get this style of A and A for under say 150 dollars?

Amazon has 1942 for 23.00

Just picked up the 1998 Axis and Allies from Microprose today.
Installed it, everything runs fine, until the combat phase starts, when the program crashes.
Running Windows XP, have 512 MB of RAM.
Is this a common problem, and is there a quck fix?

Well better is a relative term. I don’t think any game is “better” than any other. More a matter of preference.

Battle of the Bulge is not out yet and they have just begun the process of telling folks how the game is going to work. You are on your own on that one till November. Check out the forum board for the game on this site. There are some links to articles and pics.
D-Day is good if you only have a couple of hours and mostly want something to do while drinking some beers and hanging out.
Europe to me is the weakest and it has been awhile since I’ve played a game. It isn’t a bad game it is just the one I like the least.
Pacific I really like. I like the convoy centers and routes rules. I like the harbor and air bases rules and the victory points aspect. I like the way the board looks. Marines and it is fun when the US to spend 70 IPCs a turn. I think it is my favorite but I can’t say it is “best.”
Revised is what we seem to play the most. It is most like second edition with lots of the things that don’t work for lack of a better way to say it fixed. It can drag out a bit too long for me sometimes but it is really balanced and fair.

That is my take on your question. Frankly, I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. But they all have a different tenor or feel to them.

That’s pretty much what I’m getting… 2 sets of all the pieces, 1 set of chips, and control markers. I frequently run out of markers for Japan, Germany, and Russia sometimes.

The game does freeze your comp. occasionly and it sometimes right when your about to win :evil: ! Don’t know why it does it but there are “pathes” to fix it…
