This is a great help to us understanding the game. The rulebook is pretty difficult to grasp...thanks!

[noahwilliams]

Really helped, I couldn't understand the booklet at all.

Thanks!

There can actually be a 6th player who can play as France, but they just run away from the board crying at the start of the game.

Think I got everything except the amphibious landing - that's still confusing as all get out. My son is thrilled with this game. Guess I don't have to worry about him dating any time soon.

I know this is a very stripped down version and all but its actually tremendous fun. I sometimes wonder if less is more.

[walfrido]

Awesome! I was getting bored reading the rulebook and this video made it all so much easier. It also solved some questions. Thank you sir!

[rickallen]

Dear Harsh, although Axis & Allies is not my cup of tea, I do appreciate you play through and analysis of your other games (Hannibal, etc.). I like your point by point approach. Please keep up the good work.

The pieces for each faction aren’t different, Russia and the UK have P-40’s and Japan has Tigers and Heinkels

[thomasfalk]

Thank you for your attention to detail and your use of visual effects.

Played a few a games already and never caught that invasion treasury raid rule, so helpful

[t.a.rgaming]

Tanks actually defend and attack on a 3 below, transports cannot defend either, apart from that an okay video and a good explanation for the game for novice players.

[ericm]

Great video. My son and I were kinda scratching our heads at the instruction manual. Thanks for making it easy.

[matto]

The us is supposed to have 17 IPC. Count them on the board. It is a typo on the game board. Szechwan is supposed to be 2 if I’m not mistaken.

[BushcraftingBogan]

I actually like the Econ indicator on the board. It makes it easy to keep up with. The downside is using a pen and paper to keep track of your actual cash. Knowing the rules of AA classic you can always add the ability to buy production centers, AA guns and R&D.

[mjaminp]

Thanks Ben Harsh. Very simple instructions make playing this game much more enjoyable. I may just buy this game now.

[darksnake]

Guys is this a good version to have if I just started playing this game and want to teach family how to play

[kcobra]

Dang, its weird seeing a war game that doesn't have a thousand controls and mechanics

[loganfong]

In an amphibious assualt, "Air units defending in a territory can fight only in that territory. They cannot participate in the sea combat." So, they can't actually choose to defend the adjacent sea zone. (See page 15)

best board game explaining video ever, thank you

[malachimilu]

THANK YOU this video helped me and my family to find out how to play this game
