“Best” is a very personal and subjective term.

I think Anniversary Edition is the “best” of all A&A editions.  However, it was a limited edition and you’d be hard pressed to find a copy that is reasonably priced, even used at this point in time.

Others think Spring 1942 2nd Edition is the best.  However, it is a shorter game with fewer details than some of the others (1 step up from the “introductory level” 1941 edition), but still quite fun.

Many consider the 1940 Pacific/Europe editions the best.  However, they are much more involved, longer games (and requires the purchase of 2 games to combine them into one if you want the global experience).

TL;DR - Nobody can answer your question.  It’s a personal preference, and we don’t know what you’re looking for.

There are no rules for those extra units. You have to make them yourself. But then you can better go to the forum for house rules.

@elkikko:

but is there any axis & allies with these units or not??

Go to historicalboardgaming.com and look on the left of the screen. Almost every A&A game is listed. Start clicking. You will be able to see all the units that come with those games. If you want a quick one box unit expansion, and you don’t care about historical accuracy, get a Risk 2042 set. They are not as hard to find as some of the other older expansion/variant sets. The units don’t look the best. Some are down right sad. Also the colors only match A&A Classic. Otherwise go to HBG and start buying the units you want to add to the game. It’s faster than hoping for deals on ePay.
