A war game from the Axis & Allies series designed to reduce setup time compared to previous editions. It uses the system introduced in Axis & Allies: 1942, making it a great introduction to the mechanics of its slightly more complex predecessors.

The game captures the state of the war in 1941, when the Axis powers achieved significant successes in both Europe and Asia. For advanced players, there are plenty of new units—16 brand new ones such as the P-40 Warhawk, Tiger Tank, AVRO Lancaster, FW-190, IS-2 tank, HMS Hood, He-111, or the Akagi aircraft carrier. These units are compatible with any other A&A game.

The game includes English rules.
