The game itself would continue to be published by Milton Bradley under the title Axis & Allies: Classic until 1998, at which time Milton Bradley’s parent company would move publishing duties over to Avalon Hill. The game itself was originally published by Nova Game Designs, but was quickly republished by Milton Bradley in 1984. While the game has had several rule changes over its lifetime, the end goal has always been to lead one of the game’s nations or alliances to victory. The game puts players in command of the titular Axis and Allied forces during the early stages of World War II, allowing them to make the strategic and tactical decisions necessary to bring about the end of the war. Axis & Allies is a World War II-era war-game designed by Larry Harris in 1981.
