Game Starts

I’ve been checking repeatedly and the 1940 2nd edition chips are always out of stock. I too need to get more.

@huntdax:

I have the 15 yr old PC game by Hasbro Interactive.  I am having trouble with the graphics to play the game.  The game is made for WIN95/98 while my PC runs Win7.  What do I need to do to change in my settings for this to work.  Much appreciated.

Right click on the EXE file for the program (AandA.exe?)… in Win7 you’ll get options to enable windows compatibility mode, and several toggle switches.  Experiment a bit till you get something that works, you can use Win95 mode, Win98 mode, etc, etc… there’s also some other options, I forget what they are, but I had a very old Win95 game called Pacific General that just would not run under Win7 until I set it to Win95 mode and checked all the boxes, finally it ran as it should run in Win7 just like old Win95 days.

Give it a try.

Yes FMG.

Just picked up the 1998 Axis and Allies from Microprose today.
Installed it, everything runs fine, until the combat phase starts, when the program crashes.
Running Windows XP, have 512 MB of RAM.
Is this a common problem, and is there a quck fix?

As far as I know there isn’t a newer version then the 2004 one.

I think mostly online play, which there are various tools available to make it easier.

For instance, I believe this Club uses the old 1998 CD for Online play:

Whereas others like to Play by Email.

My only suggestion might be to try here, the atari tech support, maybe they can email you a code???
I don’t know there email, but it must be somewhere on this page:

you might be able to try the avalonhill website, but i’m not sure

Random crashes do happen a lot in A&A (to the dread of players everywhere) at any particular moment. I might help if you reinstall A&A or close all programs before running A&A.

Oh yeah, Direct issues might help too. Check the troubleshooting file.

Spring’s version of the patch may be corrupt.
