Axis & Allies Miniatures

Post by Lonestar »

Anyone ever play this game? Looking at it, it seems to me it's a WH40K style TT game, the biggest difference being a lack of painting needed to play the game.


Is it any good?
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Play Flames of War instead. A&A is just another in a long line of clickbase bastardisations of much better games that have been made L.C.D. by WizKids.

The frak? A&AM is made by Wizards of the Coast, not WizKids, so there is no clickytech involved. Not knowing 40K, I cannot say how they compare, but to my knowledge A&AM sacrifices realism for ease and speed of play compared to Flames of War or Squad Leader. A 100 point game usually takes 1-2 hours. Less expensive, and the miniature quality is good up through set 3. I personally tend toward HHR, a fan made set of reworked rules and unit stats.
