La nuova edizione (revised 2004) risolve molti problemi di quelle precedenti, soprattutto in relazione alla ripetitività. Quindi la longevità è aumentata. Inoltre i componenti sono fantastici, ogni paese ha le unità differenti dalle altre. Consigliato per chi vuole un gioco non semplicistico e dipendente dai dadi come Risiko, ma neanche complesso e lungo come wargames di altro genere (Europe Engulfed, WWII Barbarossa to Berlin).
Axis & Allies (2004) aka Axis & Allies Revised Edition is the first Avalon Hill version of the classic light weight war game Axis & Allies. The game simulates the entire scope of World War II.
The game is nominally designed for five players, representing the Allies: United States of America, United Kingdom and Russia vs. the Axis: Germany and Japan. However, it is most often played as a two-player game.
Axis & Allies features a simple dice-based combat system; a small number of types of naval, air and land units; territory control; and technology research to improve unit capabilities.
Major new features of Axis & Allies (2004) include new units (e.g. destroyers, artillery), revised unit capabilities (e.g. armor defend at 3, fighters cost 10 IPCs), directed technology research, and totally new victory conditions (key territories must be controlled to win the game).
