1941, The World is at War!

Axis & Allies 1941 is designed to be set up and played more quickly than any previous A&A game. In essence, this is a simplified A&A experience that will introduce players to the A&A mechanics and play style. Play time runs between 1½ to 2 hours.

This game utilizes the A&A game mechanics present in A&A 1942 2nd Edition, as designed by Larry Harris (the creator of the original game).

New Units

A key feature for enfranchised players is an entirely new set of unit sculpts. There are 16 all-new designs such as the P-40 Warhawk, Tiger Tank, AVRO Lancaster, FW-190, IS-2 tank, HMS Hood, He-111, and the Akagi Aircraft Carrier.

Game Overview

Five major powers struggle for supremacy. Germany and Japan are aligned against the great alliance of the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and the United States.

Designed for 2–5 players, the game is set in 1941: The Axis has great momentum and is expanding its conquests in both Europe and Asia.

Controlling one of the Axis or Allied powers, you will command both your country’s military forces and its war-time economy. Show that you are a brilliant military strategist by planning your attacks, marshaling your forces into embattled territories, and resolving the conflicts. Victory goes to the side that conquers its opponents on the field of battle and liberates or occupies the greatest cities of the world. Change the course of history in a few short hours!

Bei Azul handelt es sich um ein Lege- und Strategiespiel, bei dem die Spielenden versuchen, möglichst viele Punkte durch die Kombination farbiger Fliesensteine auf ihrer Ablagetafel zu erreichen. Als Thema für das Spiel wurde der Auftrag des portugiesischen Königs Manuel I. gewählt, die Wände des königlichen Palastes in Evora nach dem Vorbild der maurischen Alhambra in Südspanien mit bunten Keramikfliesen (Azulejos) zu verkleiden.

Das Spielmaterial besteht neben der Spielanleitung aus:

• je 20 Kunstharzfliesen in fünf Farben,
• vier Spielerablagen,
• neun runden Manufakturplättchen,
• vier Punktemarkern,
• einem Startspielermarker und
• einem Stoffbeutel.

The armies of the Abyss have been repelled thanks to the bravery and sacrifice of the intrepid heroes of Modhelm, but an even more dangerous threat marches now towards the Citadel: the mighty legions of the Orc Nation!

To defeat the swift Iron Orcs, the crafty Goblins and the fearsome Trolls, players will need to develop new strategies while preventing the foul acid-born creatures known as Mulfins from breaching the city walls... And beware the fury of Ikomoth, the Dragon, an Avatar of Destruction capable of incinerating all Quarters of the Citadel!

This expansion contains two new heroes, new miniatures and Enemy cards, a customized Event deck and all the components needed to offer a new and exciting game experience.

The Encampment rules introduce Spawning Points that may move back and forth from Zone 3 to Zone 2 depending on the Summoning rolls, creating a more dynamic pattern of invasion.

When setting up the game with the Encampment Tiles, players will place Spawning Tokens on the board in the indicated spots - these represent the moving enemy Encampments. When a Square symbol is rolled on the Summoning Roll, the Spawning Point will spawn the enemies listed on the corresponding Enemy card and then the Spawning Token is moved forward to Zone 2. A Triangle result will make the Spawning Point continue where it's at, and a Circle result will move the Spawning Point back to Zone 3.

This mobile nature of the Encampment Tile Set brings a new and fresh experience when defending the Citadel! With enemies appearing on Zones 2 and 3, the pressure builds up on the Heroes! Assault units will be one step closer and the Catapult won't be as strong when the Spawning Points are on Zone 2's, but on the other hand, Heavy Units that Spawn on Zone 2 will have to move to Zone 3 before they start firing upon the Citadel, which will buy the Heroes and the Citadel some time! The symbols to the left of the Encampment Tiles indicate the behaviour of the different enemy types, depending on where they are spawned.

The Encampment Tile Set can be played with any B-Sieged enemy army, whether it be the Abyssal Forces from Sons of the Abyss or the Iron Orc nation from the Darkness & Fury expansion!

The Sculpted Mulfin Set replaces the Mulfin tokens that comes in the B-Sieged Darkness & Fury Expansion with 36 figures in 3 different sculpts, ready to spew their caustic acid and corrode the Citadel's walls!
