Axis & Allies: Iron Blitz
Sequel to Axis & Allies (which is included in this version), Iron Blitz
again puts you in control of one of five nations (USA, UK, Russia, Germany and
Japan) during the times of the second world war.
This time, however, Iron Blitz uses the 3rd edition of the Axis and Allies
rules. Some changes improve upon old rules found in the second edition (used
in the first PC conversion). Other add new areas to the gameplay – submarines
can submerge instead of withdrawing, planes may retreat from amphibious
assaults, new naval units may be placed in enemy occupied zones and multiple
AA guns may occupy the same territory. And when an aircraft carrier is sunk,
its planes may land one space away from the battle.
Of course, for those of you who don’t like any of the changes, you can turn
off the third edition rules, and play with just the second edition.
