Original 1998 CD version from download with windows 10

so i too was disappointed that the link for the game no longer works, but i still have the old cd rom as well as the 1.3.3 patch from maybe 15 years ago. i like the 1998 version of the game, but perhaps i will try the triple a version at some point. i will gladly help anyone interested in getting the old version of the game. for me i wanted to play it without the cd, so i used daemon tools lite (free) to mount and image of the disc in a virtual drive (i use windows 10). if you explore the auto load file and select compatibility preferences/ windows 95- (yeah i know) it launches and plays the game perfectly and all the cinematics are intact. i did have to apply the patch as well. i hope this helps someone else.

i also found the 6.0 files for windows 7 on my old pc, so if you are looking for those (which were in the old link that no longer works) apparently i picked that up a while back too. just pm me and i’ll drop box whatever you are looking for.
thanks

Hi Folks!

I’m new to this forum and have a good friend whom I play against when we hook up at each other’s homes.

I always use the Allies because my buddy likes the “fun” of using the Axis.  I never lose playing the Allies however because of a couple of sound strategies that take the luck out of A&A. (unless Germany goes hell-bent for Karelia and manages to keep it for a turn with enough to beat off a counter-attack from Russia in next turn).

My take on the allies is this…build an Indian factory to stall the Japanese and keep the Japs trying to get rid of this factory rather than going straight after Russia…  More importantly…the US can decide the game by leaving the Pacific alone and throwing everything they have into getting troops into Africa/Norway and even France to help take pressure off the Russians, deny the Germans the free 11 IPC’s in Africa ASAP and allow the UK to also send land units to the continent via Norway.

To even the game up I always give the Axis “super subs and fighters” plus not allow Russia to attack for 1st turn.  Even then…unless I get unlucky with early dice rolls the sheer weight of US IPC’s allows me to wipe out Germany at which point Japan is toast.  I suppose I COULD limit the Russians from attacking the 1st TWO turns but don’t want to give up TOO much as the Allies from the beginning?  Any other suggestions as to how the Axis can win?

yeah, good question ! I know some forums who could have great use of such feature.

@teraff:

I have just received the Axix & Allies CD-ROM game, but it did not come with a manual.
Do you have any idea where I can get a copy of the rules for the CD-ROM game?
Thanks,

I foound this site but I don’t know how safe it is.:

I didn’t see this anywhere else except something similar with iron blitz (which I don’t have) so I hope it’s okay to start a new topic.

I was wondering if you guys here know of any mods or patches or workarounds so all the countries could either fight each other from the beginning or make it so the winning alliance turns on each other after the opposing alliance loses.  If there isn’t one, I’d be happy to create one myself if anyone knows what would be involved and would be kind enough to get me started in the right direction.

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

Check my thread on the Software forum…

Have I made it too hard to find?

try Flames of Europe or DAAK.de (if you go to DAAK you’ll have to click the British flag in the upper left corner to translate the page to English, unless you know how to read German.)

Forum games can be played with a real board and using the in house Dicey.

Look at some of my games in the Games area (mostly in League area) for an example of how this can be done.
