Playing Axis and Allies Europe

April 16, 2009

Axis and Allies Europe sets the stage and provides the firepower for the war gamer to get involved in World War II just as Germany is poised to invade Russia. All it takes is the right strategy!

Playing Axis and Allies Europe
The game can be played by two to four players, ages 12 and up. The rules are not easy to follow; but, a beginner can be up and playing in 30 minutes. A typical game moves very quickly and can last over three hours.
Axis and Allies Europe uses the same basic format as the original Axis and Allies game. The difference is this Europe-based version is a more focused look at WWII, spotlighting the European war activities starting in 1941 when Germany was ready to attack Russia. The game centers on the many fronts and combat situations encountered by the allies in fighting against Nazi Germany.
Players need to make decisions throughout the game on when and where they are going to organize their resources. The rules are very specific about the cost and power of each soldier and piece of guard. Each player must develop and implement strategies that involve where they use infantry and artillery versus where they are going to use bombers and fighters, while following the detailed rules.
As with the original Axis and Allies game, hard core players often join informal groups and online forums to play, discuss strategies and exchange gaming tip ideas. One well-known online networking source is Harris Game Design, the message board of Larry Harris, the creator of Axis and Allies.
