Axis & Allies is the fourth edition of the classic light weight war game Axis and Allies. The game simulates the entire scope of World War II.
The game is nominally designed for five players, representing the Allies: United States of America, United Kingdom and Russia vs. the Axis: Germany and Japan. However, it is most often played as a two-player game.
Axis & Allies features a simple dice-based combat system; a small number of types of naval, air and land units; territory control; and technology research to improve unit capabilities.
