It was a very exciting, addictive and memorable game. This was my first time playing a PBEM game. It was a Play-by-e-mail (PBEM) game with Han, using the free program TripleA (version 1.0.3.0).

However, it was not using my newly purchased copy.


I have now played one game of Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition. She had a friend coming back to KL, who did not have much luggage, and he was happy to bring the game to me. The retail price was cheaper than in Malaysia, because of the weak Australian dollar. Just a few weeks ago, when my sister was preparing to return to Malaysia for Chinese New Year, I asked her to buy the game for me in Melbourne. I have been a fan of the Axis & Allies series, although I don't get to play them very often. On the Allied side, the USA takes control of the Chinese forces resisting the Japanese invasion.When Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition was announced, there was no doubt I was going to buy it. The game also features a sixth playable position, with Italy joining the Axis powers as a full partner. Now Wizards of the Coast is re-producing this version of Harris’ masterpiece with an updated rulebook that streamlines some elements of gameplay and adds cruisers as a naval unit. A hard-to-find Anniversary Edition of the game was released in 2008, featuring new units and a larger game board. Using plastic models to represent various types of units, the game recreates the entirety of World War II on the tabletop. Created by Larry Harris, Axis & Allies has been a stalwart icon in the tabletop wargame community since its initial release in 1981. It is intended for 2 to 6 players, ages 12 and up, and takes about 6 hours to play. The game includes more than 650 plastic minis, packaged in six country-specific storage boxes, 14 dice, game tokens, paper money, and plastic markers. The Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition will feature new sculpts for four of the game pieces and the largest Axis & Allies board ever produced, measuring 24 by 46 inches. Ten years after it first appeared, the Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition returns in an updated version to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Avalon Hill brand.
