Well “back in my day”, growing up as a teen/young-adult in the 1980s, we didn’t have much in the way of computer games. Back then every game was a board game of some type for the most part, and while I did play extensively the more “grognard” hard-core board wargames like just about everything from Avalon Hill and SPI, and Axis and Allies was just another game I got into in my youth which was simpler to play with my friends. There was always something “beer and pretzels” about Axis and Allies back in the 1980s that to this day still attracts me to the game. I’ve recollected (is that a word) and customized my current 2nd-Edition version of the game, and spent quite a bit on extra units, printed game-boards and the like… all with few people to play against, but it’s part game, part collectible, and its fun either way.
Favorite Axis and Allies version

I want to thank everybody for voting.
-
No Revised so I’ll go against the masses and vote for AA50.
-
No 1914? Not that it’s my favorite or anyone else’s anyway…

Meh, poll missing too many options… includes three out of print variants that were never popular, but doesn’t include either of the out of print popular versions (A&A Classic and Revised), and if you went with current in-print versions, he’s missing 1942 and 1914… also could have just said “Global” instead of spelling out both 1940 versions together.
If you make a.poll on favorite version that includes out of print, please list all the out of print versions. … same if you’re going to list in print versions…
Too many missing options to get a good vote sample! (Just saying, very incomplete list).

I’m sorry. When I posted this poll I had just discovered the forum. I didn’t do much research. In the future, I will make a new poll including all of the Axis and Allies versions.
