My Axis & Allies collection

[AAdudeCPHDK1981]

Here are some pictures of my Axis & Allies collection as it is now in end of August 2020, I know of 3 more variations that I am missing for it to be complete (The MB Gamemaster version with the Dutch sticker and rules, the MB Gamemaster version with the french box and the 1981 Jedko Games edition), if anyone has these for sale (in good/complete condition), drop me a note and we can talk about it :) also, if anyone knows of other editions missing from my collection, please let me know… :)

I’m surprised that you don’t have one of the Anniversary Edition reprints from 2017. That box cover is different from the 2008 version, because the 2017 version doesn’t have the 50th Anniversary markings.

For example:
2008 box cover (source) :

2017 box cover (source) :

Notice the “Games 50” on the lower right corner of the 2008 box, compared to the minimum age and number of players information on the same corner of the 2017 box? It’s a small difference, to be sure. But as you seem to be collecting all of the different boxes, I thought I’d point that out. Besides, as it’s the reprint you would need to get to have this, it shouldn’t be too painful on the wallet.

My 2 IPCs,

@Midnight_Reaper Thank you good sir… The first reason for why it is not in my collection is that I had no idea it excisted :D that is actually the only reason… But it has given me something to hunt for :D yay…

[AAdudeCPHDK1981]

@Midnight_Reaper Hello good sir :)

I have received the dutch version today, and the missing Anniversary version has been located and are on the way :) yay…

Do you have any news regarding the french/china expansion sheets we talked about for the Nova/Jedko version? :) :D

[AAdudeCPHDK1981]

@midnight_reaper just a little update, this version is now also in my stock :) as far as I know (with the help of your expertice), I am currently only missing the Jedko version and the french box printing version of the MB Gamemaster efition (if it excist), to complete my collection :)

[AAdudeCPHDK1981]

@midnight_reaper More games for the collection :) the only one missing now is the MB Gamemaster version with both english & french box printing :D

Sooo if anyone out there have one or know where to find it, please let me know :)

[Midnight_Reaper]

@aadudecphdk1981 Hey, that’s a nice looking JEDKO A&A game you have there. Very snazzy, even. If you get a line on a second one, I would appreciate your assistance in helping me get one.

[AAdudeCPHDK1981]

@midnight_reaper I will keep that in mind good sir :) do you have any leads regarding the last game missing from my collection? :D

Here something you ain’t got, nor does hardly anybody else either!!!

I have that. It’s not all that hard to get, if you ask me.

Unless @Nolimit knows something I don’t, that never came in a box. It was just a set of rules for an expansion of A&A Europe that split the Axis from just Germany into having both Germany and Italy as playable powers.

Take a copy of A&A Europe, add troops for the Italian player, add the rules from the game designers in Italy, and you have this.

It’s not commonly found because it’s not commonly known about.

[AAdudeCPHDK1981]

@nolimit Actually I do have it, I have made my own copy for both Europe 369 and Europe 370, I printed the setup chart and the rules, then I added the Italian pieces to both issues of the game :) but thanks for the thought :)

Regarding the French/Chinese expansion for ‘Nova Games Axis and Allies’:

My Nova Games game came with this counter sheet.
No setup though…

See: http://web.archive.org/web/20020104163044/http://www.wargamer.com/axisallies/original/nova/nova_description.html

Image of FR/CH counter sheet: http://web.archive.org/web/20020906125332im_/http://wargamer.com/axisallies/images/nova_aa_counters.gif

EDIT:

Just adding this:

This is from my defunct Axis and Allies website (see link in this very message):

“Nova planned to release a expansion set for the game. This set would introduce France and China to the game (sounds familiar to World at War players!). The counters were produced, but the actual package was never released! This was because MB took over the game. The counter sheet as pictured on this page actually is a never released French/Chinese counter sheet (both having only halve the amount of units the original powers have).”

If anyone every finds a kind of draft (or demo, whatever) for this French/Chinese expansion… please post info here.

[thrasher1]

Wow, I did not know this French version existed:

Regarding a Dutch version.

There were Axis and Allies (Classic) games that included a Dutch version of the rule.
But as far as I know the box was the same.
A sticker? Maybe…

[AAdudeCPHDK1981]

@thrasher1 The dutch version came with a printout of the rules in dutch, but in the original box where they just added a sticker with dutch text.

[AAdudeCPHDK1981]

@aadudecphdk1981

Where there any other ‘foreign language’ versions of Axis and Allies?

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/assets/uploads/files/1628780635839-01.jpg

[AAdudeCPHDK1981]

@thrasher1 Not to my knowledge, as far as I know there is ‘only’ the english 1st. and 2nd. edition, the dutch edition and the french/canadian edition of the classic version of A&A :)

Maybe @Midnight_Reaper knows more and can answer that question for you…

[thrasher1]

@aadudecphdk1981

I think I can vaguely remember there was a rules translation in German.
But I am not sure.

[AAdudeCPHDK1981]

@thrasher1 Sure it was not a dutch version you remember? Either way, as long as the boxprinting was not in german I have no need for it in my collection :D but thanks for the info…
