Axis & Allies: Europe (1999) is the European-theater cousin of the original Axis & Allies, one of the first releases from Avalon Hill after Hasbro took over. It uses the same system: teams, territories on a map, armies, and a lot of dice. This time the focus is on WWII in Europe, so you will fight over the continent rather than the world. Two new units appear, destroyers and artillery, and there are tweaks to the rules and the strategic setup. It is a long, dice-heavy wargame for people who like moving armies around and deciding which front to push.
Who it's for
You enjoy big WWII strategy with dice and armies, you already know or like the Axis & Allies system, and you have a free afternoon.
Not for you if…
You want a fast or lightweight game. This is a long dice-driven strategy session.
Vibe's take
Big, deliberate and dice-heavy. You shuffle armies across the map, commit to a front and hold your breath when the combat rolls come in.
