In this preview of Axis & Allies 1941, we will take a look at the starting setup of the game. Although this edition is considered introductory Axis & Allies, the game actually starts with quite a few pieces on the board relative to the total economy of the game. Depending on which countries you control, you will either need to protect your starting resources or press them forward aggressively.
Update: The photo above is missing the crucial 1 German tank in North Africa.

In this version of Axis & Allies, the setup charts are on the back of the rulebook, pictured below. The setup for Axis & Allies 1941 is also here.
