(3-way calling is GREAT for mulitplayer online gaming...you can daisy chain at least 4 or more players if multiple people have 3-way. 4 is the max I've done. Is a blast!)

Never played the board game version. A & A is a good balance of simplicity/complexity/simulation and just plain FUN!

I highly recommend it to both newbie and oldie gamers.

Ohhh darn, I completely forgot there was a computer version of the original out there. I saw it in BJ's years ago, and kicked myself for not snagging it...now, I guess after hearing your report PD, I'm good with having not picked it up.

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with your endorcement on Axis & Allies boardgames playability...it's a great system, even if some of the spin=offs are a tad weak.
