I love Axis & Allies. I have an original and a first edition Eurpean version. My bro has first and second Pacific. We play often. A freind owns a hobby shop, has latest European. You can put the two latest versions together to make one truly epic game. Has, of course, the Soviet Union, Germany, Brittain, Japan, and U.S.A. But also includes France, Italy and I think Poland. It’s not as simple as Monopoly, but it is easy enough. I also really enjoy A&A minis. It’s not nearly as complicated as other tabletop games so most all of my friends will play it with me. It’s fairly tactical and easily adaptable. I’ve developed a couple of scenarios myself.
