I wish they would do like a modern-day axis and allies with modern tank and planes and heli's. Maybe even cruise missles, lol.

Good idea! Start designing! Let us know when you are ready to share it. :) Thanks for watching!

Battle of the Bulge had some hex action going on, but I like how this uses hexes on land AND sea, instead of being primarily a land battle…. Also as much as I would love to get my hands on a copy of Bulge, it seems like the hardest one to find. This GI Joe version looks like a fun variant of A&A. :). Thanks!

This looks so cool. My boys are way too young to learn yet but they sure love the pieces and map. The new little changes in the A&A system so far have been fun to learn and try

@@BoardGameNation theres optional rules at the end with national dvantages ( we used to play with them, 2 per allies power, 3 per axis power for 6 total on each side ). but what i mean is there was some global tips on how each country should play in the section that describe each country ( i went back to check to make sure, page 5 of revised ). today looking back at that, its all obvious stuff but when we were new players it did helped us a bit

Gary, what versions of A&A are right behind your right shoulder in this vid? Right next to cobra commander’s helmet? Spent way too much time trying to figure out what they are. Lmao Also, conquest of the empire is next on my wishlist of classic games to get. Would love to hear your thoughts on it and the other games in the Gamemaster Series from Milton Bradley.

@BoardGameNation 2 ай бұрын

Haha! In the square next to Cobra Commander’s helmet is 1942.1, Revised, and Zombies. I actually haven't played Conquest of the Empire in decades. I picked up that complete copy in at a game swap for $50. I played Fortress America in the early 2000s, but I haven't played Boarder & Broadside. I did play Shogun about 10 years ago, but that one is coming back around. I hear someone is planning to remake it in the near future. Thanks for watching!

I used to play Axis and Allies with my dad and brother back in the day and got excited when I first heard about this. I haven't played any of the newer (as in my copy is by Milton Bradley), smaller scale versions, so I don't know if this is standard now, but why is there a round limit?

@BoardGameNation 14 күн бұрын

I wouldn't call the new GI Joe game the standard. In fact, crossing franchises is new experiment for Renegade. I would say that the current "standard" version is the 1942 Second Edition. Of all of the versions of A&A available now, that is the most similar to the 1984 classic game. Here is a link to the full how to play video for 1942.2: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7GpisR0ldzWpIE.html Have fun! Let us know if you have any questions about it. Thanks for watching!

@@user-ob9pn1qf1b - Ah. I wouldn't say standard, but they are common. It is better to say that the win conditions for the "local" games are very different from the main line games. GI Joe and North Africa both have turn limits, but Guadalcanal has a victory point goal.

I didn't like the chip representation on the page. They should have just put 2 grey or 1 green. Tokens are so thin really cardboard should be thicker.

@BoardGameNation 2 ай бұрын

I noted that as well. I think they were trying to keep the cost down where they could. Seems they put the money into the sculpts and the map. Still, for $60, I think this is actually pretty good. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
