So... Axis and Allies? Or different...

[Xorra]

So will hoi board game be a rival to a&a or will it differ greatly to the risk for people with to much time on their hands. I love axis and allies and would not have a problem with either a loving clone or a very different take on the concept. I hope hoi focuses equally on research and production just as the PC game does however.

idk

I hope its just as interesting. Though I hope we get cool miniatures like you do in a&a!

Gonna be interesting.

I sure hope so. I hope the more minor powers get some love, as that is one of my more favorite parts of hoi. I hope we get a playable Hungary, Romania, Finland, and Bulgaria in the Eastern Front expansion that will release alongside the game. In the west I hope we get France, USA, Greece, Italy and others besides Germany and the UK. In short I hope the games includes the Mediterranean and North Africa. But that Eastern Front game has me the most excited. I like that because Soviet Union and the German Reich are both the "baddies" so you don't feel guilty playing them.

i love a&a but maybe we could have something like diplomacy where we can either stay neutral or join a war be fascist or communist or democratic or non-aligned and could we have different scenarios like 1936, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1943, 1945 and the cold war

The core gameplay mechanics are still quite old fashioned however.

yeah but this is why A&A is so successful

The last time I played AA, the game lasted for a weekend and ended when we arrived at a stalemate and just gave up on playing.

Like Monopoly or Risk, it's a game for people who have never played a post-1990s game design and so don't actually know any good games.

same when i played a&a anniversary edition

There are ww2 grand strategy games far, far more advanced in terms of elegance and mechanics than Axis and Allies. GMT has Triumph and Tragedy, Cataclysm, and Chuchill; all three of these games are straight up amazing and once you’ve played them you would never go back to A&A

Great recommendations there. Thanks.

However they make it I hope we don't have the same notorious supply problems we had in Hoi3.

I hope that it's a twist to Allies & Axis.
