New Axis and Allies game in the works
 

Has anyone else been following this at all? I used to play the board game as a kid and then the flawed computer versions that hasbro put out several years back.

I still play the computer version (with the computer opponents augmented due to the extremely poor AI in the game) when I get the urge for war. I like the idea of turned based military sims, but haven't been able to get into the real time strategy games where I feel I have enrolled in a Master's program in order to play the game (see Hearts of Iron).

Axis and Allies

I like that the new version let's you play as a real time strategy for those who favor that type of gaming experience, and also let's you play the turn based game that I played when I was a kid.

Any thoughts!

I believe this is "loosely" based on the board game. RTS, unless it is done in a similar fashion to HOI/EU2 is not something I enjoy.

I'll probably pass.
