Axis & Allies Quiz

[Most Holy]

How Stuff Works has a quiz on A&A. The last question is posed in a confusing fashion and out of spite for my getting it wrong I’m not going to reword it for y’all.
Pretty basic stuff and you should get perfect or near perfect but it’s cool anyway, here’s the link:

I got 17 out of 20.  There are about six questions which are phrased ambiguously, and in some cases I got the answer right by assuming that the question reflected a simplistic knowledge of the game and its evolution over time.  (A better answer in some cases would have been “it depends on what you mean by [whatever]”).

[Most Holy]

I found that as well, anyone doing the quiz should assume they are talking about aone of the basic games such as Classic, Revised or 42.

[Gargantua]

The picture clearly shows GLOBAL, and then asks if the game starts in 1942.

Whoever wrote this test clearly doesn’t know how axis and allies -works-.

I was in A&A wilderness for a while and do not own revised or 42 and hate getting things wrong, so will give it a miss.
I do love quizzes and I am bloody clever, so might take it…. And lie about my score!
… I got 20 out of 20.
I hate a liar.

19/20… That specific unit question was not well worded. Obviously the US/British armor unit is an M4 Sherman tank, etc… Apparently not what they were looking for.

And I am not sure what B-17s being in Memphis Belle is of any consequence regarding Axis and Allies, but whatever.

[Gargantua]

The same question got me. Especially because I believe the word they used was modelled… and anyone who plays axis and allies uses the word units, whilst NOT refering to actually military units (groups).

Exactly.

Whoever wrote the quiz is a hack.

[Gargantua]

I looked for somewhere to complain, about the BOZO who wrote the quiz - because he wrote it on drugs - and has limited knowledge of the game (hence his reaching questions).

But there is no where to drop feedback?  WTH?

I want to find this person in real life, and beat them with my anniversary edition box, until it’s decorated with their blood.

A little much… no?

Blood on a special edition map shows extreme dedication. I endorse this message.

I pulled off an 18/20 getting the questions about A&A being published by a small indie game company wrong and the question about the allies being able to launch a joint strike wrong (I swear that’s a rule in A&A revised!).

The B-17 thing I just figured, all the pieces are supposed to be based on some historical unit, lucky guess for me  :-D

[Gargantua]

(I swear that’s a rule in A&A revised!).

Actually, in the ORIGINAL Nova Games version, the allies all went at the same time.

Again, this person needs to be converted into a corpse. What insults!

Sometimes excessive violence - is the immediate and ONLY answer.

Such is the case in this situation…

In keeping with the spirit of the game, he should probably just be shot. For crimes against the State.

That was pretty funny.

[special forces]

Indeed a lot of ambiguous questions. Still scored ok though :)

I always cover my maps with plexiglass for protection during really serious games.

[Witt]

I cover mine in Red wine. Works almost as well!
