The bidding system is interesting. It's not something i've ever used, but I see the utility and how it could go a long way in making everyone happy. I tend to always get stuck playing the axis no matter what version of the game I play, but i'm ok with that. I enjoy trying nontraditional strategies too to almost handicap myself when playing against opponents of lower skill.

Yes. Battleships have an offshore bombardment ability they can use when in a sea zone with offloading transports into hostile land territories.

@BoardGameNationКүн бұрын
Glad you enjoyed the series! Yes. Japan (and any other power) can build any IC it normally could in the out of the box rules. You didn't see it here because in tournament play, it isn't usually fast enough to stand up to an all-out American assault. Thanks for watching!
@carrasco2401Күн бұрын
@@BoardGameNation thats interesting, we have been trying a strategy with Japan using some ICs in a defensive posture to stop the American and Uk assault in the 5 round limit, and it has been very successfull for the axis player, so much that we thought it wasnt allowed in tournament game because it feels too overpowerd. We have been playing A&A for more than 15 years I think, going back all the way to Classic and global versions. Thank you for your response, wish you the best luck in this year tournament

I would have to say the Axis and Allies 1941 is probably the closest to the original in terms of rules. This is the smallest and simplest currently available version of the game. However, if you have played the Classic from 1984, I would suggest 1942 Second Edition over 1941. It is a better, more engaging game that is more suited to experience table top game players.

Great video thank you!. I have a question… I arrive to this video for the name, because I am looking for a video that explains and teach how Artillery works, not AAA but the one that add +1 to the infantry. I have some doubts, about this unit. I am not sure if it works or not if when no infantry is beside one, that is the main question, but I would like, if you have a video explaining this unit to watch it and clear all the doubts for this one. Thank you again.
@BoardGameNation15 күн бұрын
Let's see if we can clear this up. Each Artillery unit gives a +1 to one Infantry unit when attacking the same territory. This is a 1:1 ratio... 1 Artillery buffs 1 Infantry. If there are no infantry present, the Artillery can still attack alone, hitting on a 2 or less. It can not effect any units other than Infantry. If you would like to see an example, follow this link to our full How-to-Play video for A&A 1942.2: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e3-tucN8YNnYpLA.htmlsi=5ZHul6Ty2xIZWqoe&t=1650 Here is another, more complex example from another of our video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/intn0LichrjUoLw.htmlsi=QBjLSKiXSvV8JtMH&t=596 I hope these help!

I would have to say the Axis and Allies 1941 is probably the closest to the original in terms of rules. This is the smallest and simplest currently available version of the game. However, if you have played the Classic from 1984, I would suggest 1942 Second Edition over 1941. It is a better, more engaging game that is more suited to experience table top game players.

Love this board game
It is a great one. Thanks for watching!
I have the 2017 re release of this game which I got in mid 2019, this is without doubt the best version of Axis and Allies in my opinion, can I ask what might seem a silly question, what is Hasbro's role in the Axis and Allies series, as I often see their logo on the box of the games, even though it is published by Renegade Game Studios?
I agree with you. This is probably the best version of the game. Hasbro bought up the companies that created Axis and Allies. So, they own the game. Renegade licenses the rights in order to reprint old games and develop new games under that title. Thanks for watching!
@@BoardGameNation I'm guessing the A&A printed money for this game, is the same paper they use to print Monopoly money, I currently have all of the previous versions of the Axis & Allies that are now reprinted by Renegade, meaning I have the ones printed by Avalon Hills, is there anything I'm missing from the new versions or are they just straight out reprints with nothing new?
Other than the corrections I mentioned in the video, this is a reprint of the previous Anniversary Editions. It does have the paper IPCs, but I prefer poker chips for casual play. Thanks for watching!
@@BoardGameNation Thanks for the information, I'll back looking to add Axis & Allies NorthAfrica to my collection when it comes out in Europe and the UK, which Is where I live and from.🙂
It is going to be a good one! :)
Great video thank you!. I have a question… I arrive to this video for the name, because I am looking for a video that explains and teach how Artillery works, not AAA but the one that add +1 to the infantry. I have some doubts, about this unit. I am not sure if it works or not if when no infantry is beside one, that is the main question, but I would like, if you have a video explaining this unit to watch it and clear all the doubts for this one. Thank you again.
Let's see if we can clear this up. Each Artillery unit gives a +1 to one Infantry unit when attacking the same territory. This is a 1:1 ratio... 1 Artillery buffs 1 Infantry. If there are no infantry present, the Artillery can still attack alone, hitting on a 2 or less. It can not effect any units other than Infantry. If you would like to see an example, follow this link to our full How-to-Play video for A&A 1942.2: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e3-tucN8YNnYpLA.htmlsi=5ZHul6Ty2xIZWqoe&t=1650 Here is another, more complex example from another of our video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/intn0LichrjUoLw.htmlsi=QBjLSKiXSvV8JtMH&t=596 I hope these help! Thanks for watching!
@@BoardGameNation Perfect, that solve one doubt, still I have something else here. If you have the artillery and the infantry, we say that this add +1 to the infantry, but... it counts as one unit? or two units? I mean... if you only have 1 infantry and 1 artillery... do you have 2 attacks? one dice with (with result 2 or less to hit) for the infantry plus one dice (2 or less to hit) for the artillery? or just one dice (2 jor less to hit) only for the artillery+infantry? Thank you!. And yes I watched the video, I will do again.
I watched the link you sent me, it was exactly the part of the video where artillery is used, I didn't get that before, I saw the video but you sent me directly to that part that obviously I forgot or didn't pay proper attention at that part. Thanks a lot, it answer my question. So they are separated units, always, just if the artillery is present besides its own attack it adds +1 to infantry. Thank you!
Happy to help! Feel free to come back with any more questions you have along the way!
