Axis & Allies 1942 Online

6 tanks, and a plane can somehow be killed to just 1 guy sitting on his azz by the games rng rolls

I loved the original board game and later modifications. I was thrilled when a digital computer version of the original was produced. The computer opponent is mostly predictable though follows the most likely moves that a human player would so it works. Game is great, and love that you can play solo in any one or all 5 countries in the same game if you'd like. Often I'll play all Axis or all Allies, and works great. Some times what took all day on a board can be done in less than 30 minutes. Love it, and highly recommended.

It's a pretty straight forward adaptation of the board game. But rating it as a video game I have to say it's mediocre. So many quality of life things they could have added. Simple things like when you hover over a country or territory it says it's name and what units are there and their names. Little things like that... because it's a video game. So make the UI slick and helpful. I don't like the combat either.

I've always been a big fan of the board game and have played many games IRL. However, this game has enabled me to drastically increase the volume of play that I can incorporate into a busy life. Even better, I can play with friends on the other side of the planet asynchronously when our play times don't line up. It's not perfect and there are bugs. Sadly, it looks like WOTC has mostly abandoned this game. But it doesn't take away from the fun that this game brings to the virtual table.

Very fun game, bring back nostalgia and helps remove the required setup time. My only pet peeve with it is the lack of workshop support or modding tools to further expand the pool of scenarios to play on such as WW1, 1940, 1941 and so on. When workshop support gets added (if ever), i believe it will be worth the price tag but as of now, picking it up on sale is a perfectly fine purchase, and if you really enjoy, 20 dollars is very much worth it.

This is fun, it is kinda easy to win as Axis if you can survive the first 3 rounds

The game feels like it has ai bias with ai generaly being very agressive to the player and seeming to roll lower numbers than the player and ussaly getting out of tough situations even though they shouldnt have any advantage. and example of this is when i had 3 infantry attacking while the ai only had 1 infantry, i just needed to roll one 1 to win but i somehow only got high numbers over 3 while the ai rolled a 1,1,2. even if i used tanks instead i would have still lost. and that is what every other dice roll feels like. and the ai's aggression is dead center on a player, and it doesnt feel like my ai buddys are really helping with them mainly stacking troops up. i chose to play this game because i broke my arm and wanted something simple to control, and i ended up more stressed from this game due to the ai makeing me its ♥♥♥♥♥
