How to play and where to get Axis & Allies: the WW2 Strategy Board Game (also online and free!)

link text

Hello everyone I am a long time Axis & Allies player both the board game and on the TripleA format. I am a history graduate who produces content on Youtube during my spare time. I recently began to infuse Axis&Allies into some of my content, thought some of you might be interested.

@Cernel Haha you saw that bomber at the end, I was aware just sacrificing. Good points, I think I will target WW2 V3 1941 next and correct all of this. Kicking myself especially for not mentioning the LHTR mod.

Thank you all, TripleA maps offer little in the field of historical reenactment as Cernel said, but one thing I have noticed is how the original game (and versions close to it on TripleA) often have you enacting similar ww2 events. It's rather funny, lets say you play America (the old shuffle strategy in Algeria and up) or you play Germany (Operation Barbarossa) is inevitable. I made a video before talking about Japans two strategies presented prior to attacking the USA (Northern army strategy to attack Siberia vs Southern Navy strategy to attack the pacific islands), both of these play out in a normal game. In the end I think the original creators of Axis&Allies were pretty good at real WW2 military tactics and always found how game's play out interesting!

Disclaimer: its not posted yet but there will soon be a video in which I used the idea "if the US never joined WW2". I used pact of steel 2 again and made the US isolate itself not influencing anything except for giving 6 dollars per turn to Britain (as the US was doing so in reality prior to ww2). Surprisingly, I won against the Hard Ai Axis haha, so those people who say the USSR could have eventually defeated Nazi Germany single handed will be happy.

One major issue I find with Hard AI is notably the US not being able to make its mind up about transporting units across the Atlantic. If as Germany I build any naval presence the US usually will shuffle back and forth around Panama not knowing to hit Algeria/Norway or western France. I usually play Pact of steel 1/2 and any classic/revised.

Yeah, I have some idea's. I am particularly interested in the ancient maps since I a large part of my education was in the classics. TripleA has come a long way.
