Axis and Allies - A WWII Comedy Video

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.

I’ve been lurking around on this site for a while but finally registered today. and I just wanted to give a few examples of online games for axis and allies. well, my number one favorite is gamesbyemail.com, it has the original axis and allies game on it, and its free. another one (but not as good) is battleforces.com, its kind of like A&A, but not exactly. if anyone knows of a website where you can play against a cpu, please let me know.

What about the song Axis and Allies by Fishhammer? It’s on youtube

Lets pretent Hitler was never born and the Weimar was in power.

As soon as you do that all events which follow change, so you can no longer use the same history for the hypothesis, since all of the events that followed were dependent on Hitler. No Hitler = no 1939 invasion of Poland. Other events maybe, but not the same. For all we know if Hitler hadn’t been born, Germany may have been invaded by Russia and the cold war may have been between a German victor and the US.

Hypothesis and theorizing aside: Germany was defeated in North Africa and Stalingrad at the end of 1942 / the start of 1943. At that point any chance of an Axis victory was lost (the Japanese were also experiencing reversals of fortune in the Pacific). The causes for the loss may have started earlier, but that’s when the problems created earlier became physical fact.

I have played A&A spring of 1942 ince 1992.  Just a simple game with a time period I like.  Now I have expanded in all the other expansions and minaitures.  I wasn’t sure on the miniatures.  There are some good games out there but A&A has it’s place in my heart.  Just my thought.  Don

wonder how long it took them to come up with the chocolate bomb after the pea bomb sat on a shelf

(yeah i know it was wartime and everyone ate what they could, but peas? i’d be safe for a lifetime from that one)

… also they did not have an affective way to kill russian supply lines…the soviets did…

I’m not sure of the ground war (though the Germans were heavily outnumbered at the time and barely trying to hold their own), but the German U-Boat fleet really crippled Russia-British shipping for awhile in the Archangel area.
