Go Do Something #8 - Axis & Allies board game

I editorialized a bit in this episode, but it's still one of my personal favorites.

Thanks to David for letting me interview him while he was busy running a store ("Game Table," located at 167 East Jericho Turnpike, Mineola, NY 11501).

I LOVE THIS GAME

[Diabolik771]

This game isn't that complicated. It's a good starter game for the more complicated strategy war games out there.

[chunkyrisktaker]

If im very good at rosk would this game be right for me?

[iMakeBIGmoneyy]

[twentyfoursevenmix]

The guy with the glasses looks like a mix of Bill Hader and Hugo Weaving lol

[MJT4156]

That other guy should try Axis and Allies Minis.

[mrKreuzfeld]

hehe, tried playing "fire in the east" more than 20 000 pices, takes more than 500 hours to play

[Polovene]

The game is complex. Try to get new players who are not warhammer (or that kind) players and you will see. Specially 1942 versions, they are huge

i love the game the other is DUMB

[GoPatriots100]

I love this game but I wish there was a rule where you HAVE to keep at least 1 unit in a territory because otherwise by the end of the game there's like 50 units in 2 territories and nothing in any other parts of the board
