First produced in the early 1980s, Avalon Hill's Axis & Allies, the classic World War II military strategy game, has received its first major revision in over twenty years.  This updated version, in a box half its former size to make stocking and display more economical, is scheduled to be in stores from Wizards of the Coast in March of 2004.

 

The newly revamped Axis & Allies will feature more detailed game pieces, such as German tanks shaped like Panzers, U.S. tanks like Shermans, U.K. fighter planes like Spitfires and German fighters like Stukas.

 

A color world map, new sea zone configurations and new territories, along with updated rules have been designed to make game play even more exciting.
