This channel single-handedly reignited my interest in this iconic game. I’ve had the 2004 Revised sitting on the shelf gathering dust for almost 20 years. Now my son is getting close to the age where I first fell in love with A&A, and I’ve pulled the trigger and ordered Anniversary Edition. When the giant box shows up this week and my wife asks who is responsible for this, I will direct her to your channel Gary. You’re on your own after that. 😅

This has always been my favorite version of Axis & Allies. Yes, the box is huge. I bought this game back in 2008 when it was made by Wizards of the Coast. They sold out quickly and within a year an unopened box could easily cost you $500 or more because it was out of print. Glad to hear that it is finally back in print. Everything does indeed look identical to my well-worn copy. I ended up making my own custom-made storage compartments so that each playing piece had its own compartment. I don't get around to playing A&A much anymore, but I do enjoy vicariously watching you and others play on YouTube. Thanks for the unboxing and looking forward to your next video.

So happy I was able to get this back in the day. So cool that they brought it back for everyone to enjoy!

[TheEarlofBronze]

Oh... OH YEAH! Let's go, i'm so excited for these tourneys! Been hoping you'd put more of that style video out soon! Diplomacy is a long-time favorite of mine!

Thanks Gary & your team, can't wait to see North Africa in action!

[drshades]

TWO copies of Spring 1942 Second Edition behind you? Wow, that's hardcore!

[the_jeremiah]

So glad to see a new version of the Classic. So happy to also see your channel growing and adding membership. Best of luck in the future.

Nice vid. I talked to Jon for about 1.5 hours about GenCon last week. Sounded like a blast, wish I could’ve been there!

[wolfshanze]

I'm an old Gen-Xer who has played nearly every version since the Blue Box in the 1980s. I currently have the "somewhat" recent versions of 1941/1942 and Anniversary Editions from the early 2000s/2010? printings (I may be off a few years), and I have TONS of additional units (I bought more of everything, tanks/planes/ships, etc) I have custom trays for each nation, poker chip IPCs, custom vinyl maps, custom dice... EVERYTHING... the ONLY problem I have with this game... is I have no other human to play it with in my hometown of Pensacola... a great game with tons of add-ons that just sits in my game closet collecting dust... nobody wants to play anything anymore unless it's on a computer or console... sigh.

So excited for the upcoming Axis and Allies content!

[thoronthol]

I’m so happy for this unboxing - as a long time A&A fan I had no choice but to subscribe 😊

[pgcsean]

Just ordered my copy. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention.

[Emsworth]

Looks amazing. Have to pick up a copy! Also, excellent video, as always!

[sliebert]

I’m looking forward to becoming a citizen of your nation! Love the content and happy to support!

[GaveMeGrace]

Thank you so much for this review—just what I needed and hoped for.

[Hydrosized]

I’m glad Italy was added at some point since I’ve played last. Playing 3 on two was always weird.

[Bananananaman_real]

I'm so glad that the channel is growing to include a membership plan!

[menhirmike]

9:50 Hooray! I have little interest in playing A&A by myself (Grand Strategy isn't my Cup of team), but watching it with the commentary was mesmerizing, so I'm looking forward of seeing more commented competitive A&A!

[JL-rjfl]

I love Axis and Allies, but I've only ever played it with friends using their copies of the game. I think it's finally time for me to get a copy of my own! Thanks for sharing this unboxing video, and can't wait to follow the championship this year.
