That happened to me once as well.

I saw that a few months back, I voted it thumbs down!

Yea I’ve seen that before and always get a laugh out of it, but he is right Axis and Allies is the most frustrating and complicated game I have ever played. I like the part where he is playing with the bomber. Honestly, how many time have you found yourself playing like that with a piece on the board. Here is the link to another video that is pro- AA and mentions that video.

He is the kind of person that AA42 was made for. Notice that they have everything laid out including the marshaling cards and tokens and all of the other boards that are used for play. The rule book for AAR is more complicated than AA42 and I can understand why he did not want to try it. AA42 comes with just the plastic pieces and a battle strip so it is less intimidating. IMHO AA42 is a great game and I feel bad for the guy that he bought the game without ever playing it with a friends copy first or seeing a game in play at a FLGS.

I don’t know if that one is real or not but in my game group if we are rolling in a box and the die comes out of the box the roller must yell “COUNTS” while in mid air before the die result shows up. The same applies if we are rolling on a table and the die falls off.

I say people like that deserve monopoly. lol.

My dad actually enjoys this game. Every Friday night, which is game night at the hobby shop I go to, he always vouches to play Axis and Allies (either Spring 1942 or Pacific 1940). I can’t wait 'till Europe 1940, then I can beat his French behind as the Krauts :mrgreen:
I should actually start making YouTube videos of strategies for Pacific 1940 (and maybe Spring 1942). There seems to be a lot of YouTubers that would look forward to that and I would be happy to get criticism of my strategies from them.

If you want real entertainment from Axis and Allies
here’s one of my favorite youtubers who did a talkthrough or Axis and allies 1998 computer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNEkzj5Bs80 this is the first of his series.

All the videos are great, i have to admit the best was the one where the guy tipped the table over, that was hilarious (even though it was fake).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeDkc7sPH9w&feature=relatedVery good response. You think with all the time he spent playing with that bomber he could have actually been reading the book. Yeah, Axis and Allies has a long rule book…and monopoly doesn’t?
Still, Axis and Allies can take a while to understand unless you have an experienced friend to play with.

Like 5 pages for monopoly.

Well, I guess my Lord of the Rings Monopoly doesn’t count…but I’ve had some people who didn’t want to play monopoly because it “had a lot of rules”
Yes, 5 pages is a lot less than 39, but it doesn’t exactly have a record for simplicity.

So? If monopoly is too hard for you, you need to give up on board games, I was playing the full version since I was 6.

Yeah… same here. If you don’t mind my asking… where are you from Upside-down? If you are American, well I figure that most all Americans know how to play Monopoly. Even Canadians too it seems. I think Monopoly is very simple and A&A is quite easy after you have been exposed to it for a while. I think your friends must have Attention Deficit or something.
The rules for A&A could be condensed to much shorter form because much of the rulebook deals with different contingencies that may arise in gameplay. The actual structure of the game is not very difficult to comprehend.
