They give an additional aspect to think about. I like the national objectives (an optional rule). There are many improvements and changes made to the game, and I think they are all for the better, although to different degrees, in my opinion.
So I think the game will only play slightly longer than Axis & Allies Revised (2004). The changes in the map are minor tweaks, rather than a major overhaul to add many more territories. The game is physically much bigger, but there really aren't that many territories added onto the map compared to the previous 2004 version. I thought the game would become much longer than previous versions, but it wasn't the case at all. I had read much about the game before buying or playing it. I'd like to write about what I think about the game after having completed the first game. I won't write about the game that we played, since that will be a long blog entry. It was so tense that after finishing the game and Han suggested another go, switching sides and playing the other scenario, I said I needed a break to play some Eurogames on BSW. I studied his options and possible moves. I kept studying the map and planning my next move, and the move after that, and then the one after that, while waiting for Han's response. I lay awake at night thinking about the game. It was a very exciting, addictive and memorable game. This was my first time playing a PBEM game. It was a Play-by-e-mail (PBEM) game with Han, using the free program TripleA (version 1.0.3.0). However, it was not using my newly purchased copy. I have now played one game of Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition. She had a friend coming back to KL, who did not have much luggage, and he was happy to bring the game to me. The retail price was cheaper than in Malaysia, because of the weak Australian dollar.
Just a few weeks ago, when my sister was preparing to return to Malaysia for Chinese New Year, I asked her to buy the game for me in Melbourne. I have been a fan of the Axis & Allies series, although I don't get to play them very often. When Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition was announced, there was no doubt I was going to buy it.
