ACD Distribution, Axis and Allies 1941 Board Game

Loved this game as a kid and very excited to find it online at Wal-Mart. Price was fair and shipping the the local store was convenient for us to pick up while out shopping for other items.

This game is a classic. It can be learned by just about anyone and is the kind of game you can really get into. At this price, you'd be a fool not to buy it. Long live Axis & Allies!!!

Great game for all of my boys aged 8-18. Keeps them captivated for hours!

i enjoyed risk for years ...time to move on up to big boys game....

My 12 year old son ordered this for himself. He really likes it! Long game, lots of strategy.

Great item. Great price

I've played the 1941 version of Axis & Allies with my kids three times now and I have really enjoyed the experience. 1941 has a very streamlined rule book and that is easy to read and has lots of visual examples of play. Each player takes the role of a major power (or coalition of powers) and game play itself is fairly intuitive - you plan troop builds- Army, Navy, Air Force (each having unique units with special abilities), then conduct military operations on a global scale and finally place your reinforcements and collect economic power. The game does a very good job of recreating the ebb and flow of the Second World War. Players have lots of opportunities to change history - What if the Germans had gone after Moscow instead of turning south? What if Japan had opted to focus more on the land war in Asia or attacked the USSR? - lots of interesting options. The game is not without a few issues - first, be aware that the game takes much longer than the time listed - to be fair my games have gone long because we spend a lot of time discussing the real war when we play, but even so, plan on a long Saturday or leaving the game set up for a few days. The major issue is that the initial print run has some incorrect information on the game cards - The US card should list the starting resource points at 17 (not 15) and is missing a 1 Destroyer flotilla off the US East Coast and 1 US Infantry in North China. The Russian card should list 6 Infantry in Russia (not 3). Search the designers website for confirmation. It it a good game. The End.

Fun game and sale price was good.

My son loves it.

Game itself is ok,but it doesnt come with near enough tolkens and minitures,and game board is small,compared to the original game its a little dissapointing,but the qaulity reflects the low price. Overall though not bad for the money.
