Axis & Allies: 1941

A global WWII strategy game that recreates 1941-era conflict between the Axis powers and the Allied coalition. Players take control of Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, or the United States and manage both military forces and wartime economies across air, sea, and land theaters. Turns consist of planning and executing attacks, moving and resolving combat with units such as aircraft, tanks, ships, and infantry, and producing new forces from controlled territories. Games run roughly 1.5–2 hours and use streamlined Axis & Allies mechanics to speed setup and play while retaining familiar strategic decision-making. Includes a set of new unit models that integrate with other editions.
