I was Googling around a moment ago looking for A&A stuff when I stumbled upon, of all things, the website of a company that manufactures wheels for sports cars. What’s the connection? The company is called “Axis Wheels” and one of their product lines is called – you guessed it – “Axis Allies” (without the “&”). I assume the name choice is deliberate, given that some of their other lines of wheels also have slightly cute names (such as “Klassic” and “Super Hiro”). I wonder how many of their clients get the joke?
Not to discount the possibility, but what makes you think it is a reference to the game specifically? Could (more) easily just be a play on the sides in the war rather than the boardgame.

It could be either a specific reference to the game or a general reference to the two sides in WWII – both possibilities certainly work.
Truth.
