– Units will include Infantry, Artillery, Tanks, Fighters, and a few naval units. – The map will be roughly the same scale as the Axis and Allies 1940 Europe map, meaning it will encompass all of Africa and include New York and India rather than focus on just the European mainland and surrounding areas. This will make the game playable for 2-8 players, with the USA joining the war late as historically (Turn 4 according to Larry). Apparently other minor powers are also going to be represented, but just how is not certain this would include nations like Belgium, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Romania that played small but still significant roles in the war. – It will be an 8 power game, with Germany, Austro-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire representing the “Central Powers” (essentially the “Axis” of WW1) and France, Russian, UK, Italy, and the USA representing the Entente or “Allied” powers. This is the first ever Axis and Allies series game not set in World War II… which makes sense, as the entire concept behind the title “Axis and Allies” was based around the geo-political conflict between the two respective coalitions that fought World War II.
Larry Harris posted the announcement on his personal forums, and followed up with some design notes and some early questions and answers. Yes, the long suspected and hoped for Axis and Allies game set in World War I is finally a reality.
