Well “back in my day”, growing up as a teen/young-adult in the 1980s, we didn’t have much in the way of computer games. Back then every game was a board game of some type for the most part, and while I did play extensively the more “grognard” hard-core board wargames like just about everything from Avalon Hill and SPI, and Axis and Allies was just another game I got into in my youth which was simpler to play with my friends. There was always something “beer and pretzels” about Axis and Allies back in the 1980s that to this day still attracts me to the game. I’ve recollected (is that a word) and customized my current 2nd-Edition version of the game, and spent quite a bit on extra units, printed game-boards and the like… all with few people to play against, but it’s part game, part collectible, and its fun either way.
Axis and Allies CD

Anyone know where I can buy the Axis and Allies CD and is it any good? Have the board game but no one locally to play it. Thanks.

You can find it on EBay or find some one to burn a copy for you.
As for the quality of the game, it is great to play online against real people, but the game itself has short sighted strategy and is easy to beat.
It is fun to test Ideas for up coming board games as well.

The thing that irks me about this is I just saw about 5 or 6 of Axis & Allies cds in the 10 dollar bin at a Media Play about 3 months ago. You think I could find one NOW?? You can get it bundled with 3 other games. One of the games is Panzer General II, another is one of the Army Men games. I’m holding off on buying it in case I get it for Christmas. :grin: If I don’t then I’ll get it even though I really don’t want the other games, but that’s the only place I can seem to find it.
Regards,

this will probably sound like a silly question…but here it goes anyway. Does anyone know if there is a Mac version of the CD game? I know…“Mac?”, your probably asking…but it works great for the industry that i’m in…thnx
