Overview of Axis and Allies

Axis and Allies is a game of global conquest set in World War II. The original game features plastic pieces and a game board. A player would roll dice to see how many units they would destroy of their enemies. However, the game has been greatly upgraded through the use computers. From 5+ hours on the board game to under two on my comp. Axis and Allies offers great replay ability and is great fun for a couple of friends.

This is done so during the purchasing turn, a player uses IPC's, or Industrial Production Certificates, or money. Although there is only eight units to chose from, it offers endless possibilities and tough decisions. Axis and Allies provides the battleship, submarines, transports, aircraft carriers, tanks, infantry, fighters, and bombers.
