Revised Axis & Allies 2004 Version

Some diehard fans of the original map may disagree, but I think the new revised 2004 version of Axis & Allies has taken a classic and greatly improved upon it. The new units offer greater variety, rule modifications have been well thought out, and the new map is a work of art that offers significantly more degrees of freedom in movement and planning. On the whole, it is a more enjoyable game that is much better balanced, and should offer gamers a much better overall experience.

Axis & Allies (2nd Edition) Strategy Articles:

Axis & Allies is one of the 50 most significant games published since 1800.

It was one of Milton Bradley's Gamemaster series of games, also including (Fortress America, Conquest of Empire, and Samurai Swords). The original game covers every theater of WWII. Since then other variants produced by Avalon Hill (also owned by Hasbro) include Axis & Allies: Europe in 2000, Axis & Allies: Pacific in 2001, revised Axis & Allies in 2004, and Axis & Allies: D-day in 2004.

While Risk introduced a generation to strategic fighting board games, Axis & Allies took Risk to a new level for a new generation. It adds new levels of gaming complexity, but can be enjoyed by both experienced players and newcomers alike.
