Anyone play Axis & Allies RTS (2004)?

@crsluggo Thanks for picture.
It is a pity these units are not more ‘same scale’. Still these vehicles seem to be OK when compared to size of Axis and Allies tank.

@Wittmann The family plays the base Catan game with the expansion. It’s a game my wife will play.

This might interest you.

@Chacmool:

“Mensch ärgere Dich nicht” is still THE game to play in Germany when family comes together on sunday afternoons.  My oma wins almost every time

Keep her away from Axis & Allies – she might turn out to have natural talents at playing that game too, and just imagine how you’d feel at having your grandmother slaughter you in a Global 1940 duel.

@Cmdr:

If you are talking unofficial, commonly accepted variants, I would say AARe (Enhanced Revised) otherwise, at this point, Anniversary.

Yeah, I agree with Jenn !

+1 karma

Don’t even bother trying to get pieces from Hasbro. They don’t care about us A&A players to offer part sets to us & when you ask they just give you the royal run-around. Sorry if I sound too bitter…

@Motdc:

Might be a stretch for what you were looking but there is a game called Twilight Imperium that is suprising A&A-like:

The theme is space, picture Star Wars, the galactic senate and all.

It uses the A&A battle mechanic, except with a d10 instead of a d6.

Intsead of ferrying troops around on ocean-going transports, you ferry them around on space-going transports.  In fact, the game uses a lot of the A&A naval mechanics, from fighters on carriers, transporting troops, bombardment, etc.

You have planetary defense systems that act like AA Guns and can upgraded to act like A&A-style rockets.

You have a couple of tech tracks you can advance on by spending on R&D like in most A&A games.

The game add a deplomacy phase and action cards.

I have the original 1st and 2nd editions of the game.  They reworked it in the 3rd edition, but I haven’t tried that one yet.

Its from Fantasy Flight Games, IIRC.

3rd Edition is a great game for six players.  The random maps placed by the players in setup is also a big plus.    :wink:

BF1942 sucks! although i havenot played WWIIonline it looks realley cool, with the whole Eurpope scale of 1/2 thingy :)
