#HowToPlay #AvalonHill #WWII - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Axis & Allies is one if the best table top games ever and this is just a great addition to this classic! Great video by Ivan too
Love this guy, seriously consider using him for this more often.
The music tends to be a little too loud sometimes.
Becca looks stunning today... ...
Those sideburns look really good on her. I hope she keeps the look.
BrotherAlpha Back in my day, respectable womenfolk didn't have mutton chops; they kept their sideburns short and trimmed down to a point, like that James T. Kirk fella!
He is good as is she, meaning in the top leauge at this.
When Ivan explained a game in the past, I had a hard time getting interested.
I dont know if it needed the right game or if his style changed a bit, but my mind got focused for the whole thing.
Good job Hydralord :)
So glad to see Ivan in this!
Thank you very much for this great explanation. It cleared up a lot of questions we had and helped to fix a lot of goofs we made due to our misunderstanding the rules.
I git this version the other day. Just to add to my ever growing collection of A&A games. But bot sure if i will ooen up this version. Though the addition of a combat unit list on the back of the setup cards is a nice new touch. 👍
Do they all have different stats?
I miss Ivan’s game explanations. Probably my favorite person for explaining how to play table top games on TH-cam.
Rodney Smith? Clear, concise, correct, and complete.
@@pimentoloaf1509 And like a camp councilor. Which weirds me out.
@@demonicbunny3po Rodneys contribution to the hobby in terms of making games accessible is unmatched. This guy did not give the complete rules for this game, and see his Inis explanation for a "How NOT to make a rules video" tutorial. If Rodney talks like a camp counselor, this dude sounds like a gay phone sex operator.
@@pimentoloaf1509 I agree Rodney has done more for the hobby. As for rules explanations, there are two ways to do it. Give the full rules so someone does not need to read the manual and give the broadstrokes so someone gets the idea and can follow along the rest of the video.
Rodney’s videos are great for replacing a manual. I miss Ivan’s explanations for understanding the board game play through I am watching.
Great Review! We were curious how they were gonna sneak Zombies in there!!! 👍👍
I just picked a random video and see Ivan VanNorman. I didn’t even know he was on this channel. I used to chat with him all the time in the Outbreak Undead community. How cool.
might get this game, I have some questions though
1. is it like risk where you have to leave at least 1 unit in the land you're moving from?
2. are you able to capture the sea port things
3.can air force units capture lands/defend them?
thanks
Hayden Gibbons
1. It's like risk in the sense of capturing zones but no you don't have to leave any units in a zone to keep it
2. No as your "sea ports" are you industrial complexes which can be captured (side note in another version of A&A there are navel bases)
3. No all air units MUST leave the zone hand have enough movement points to land in a friendly territory or air craft (even if you capture the zone) so if a plane flies from Germany and uses 3 movement points on the last one it must land in a friendly zone if it can't then that's an illegal move
Side note this version of Axis & Allies plays very differently to the others as well as there being less rules, if you get this game an like it I recommend getting the 1942 version! What the video fails to mention is the game comes with two set of cards and the ones with 1942 you use for a different version of axis & allies which adds a new. Ship and a new unit and bombing raids as well as more flexibility for complexes :) I hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you need anymore help with anything!
Its good to see Ivan again. I miss the older Game the Game on Twitch when it was hosted by both Ivan and Becca. They had a really good balance.
You sound just like Dave Chappelle doing his white guy impression.
Or Tom Bergeron.
Thanks for sharing.
Very clear.
Do you think it is possible to play without the zombie part, to introduce new players to board games ?
Always good to see Ivan again
Every good game preview host should start with an axis and allies game
But this isn't one of them, UGH!!!
No Limit It is
I approve of Ivan being stand in Becca. Both are GREAT!
I really love strategy games. this is aounds really good.
Can you guys do a how to play on rising sun
Where did you get those British transports/destroyers from, because the game I got didn't have enough pieces even to do the initial setup. It's ridiculous.
Thanks for that mate
Yay, Ivan!
why doesn't everyone lose, when the zombies win?
darth tator apparently, the undead don’t matter for counts... ouch
USS_Boom I lost many brain cells in the battle to read that comment
@@itzcloudy5672 oof
It can be assumed the losing power surrenders and joins forces to wipe out the zombies so someone survives
@@tombkings6279 Fitting how we would find each other here lol
This guy is great...and a nice character to watch and voice to listen to.
Can't wait for Monopoly and Zombies!
This was entertaining
Where can I find this and how much does it cost?
Wow, this actually looks like a fun twist
I like the reversed shots. Well done they were fun
I’m new to GnS, but this guys do is neat
Gavin Clark indeed.
This reminds me of the 4th season of the Frontline league of Risk 2210, Invasion of the Giant Amoebas.
Oh an Axis and Allies game is this week. Awesome!
This isnt an Axis & Allies game...
@@cyberpimp29 Just like miniature golf isn't really golf!!!
One thing I keep getting confused about is transport ships and cargo, could you clear it up for me?
The game sounds awesome and his review is too but the map just hurts my head xD
Yeah looking at the map is really turning me off from buying this game... Indonesia is such a mess smh
What happens after one side in a battle is completely wiped out but there are still zombies, does the remaining power fight the rest of the zombies or something else, it’s prob simple but I just don’t get it lol
I could see this doing a lot to combat the "infantry meatshield" mentality classic A&A has. With infantry as cheap as they are it's so easy to have them take all the hits for you. But with growing zombie hoards? Maybe not so much...
Always good to see Mungo Jerry on the show
🎵IN THE SUMMERTIME, WHEN THE ALLIES ARE HIGH/ YOU GOT AXIS-YOU GOT AXIS, ON YOUR MIND....( Don't bother with the zombies though)!!!🎶🎹
@Pappy Tron Good one!!!
Phase 2: Zombies Attack: "For each zombie unit in a territory you control, roll one of the special zombie dice. On a result of "D" you remove one of your combat units from that territory. " What happens on a result of "A" with the special zombie dice?
Is the zombie part optional?
Coming up next week... Monopoly & Zombies!
Is it just me, or is there just a craze to add zombies to all existing IPs? Chutes & Ladders & Zombies!
People like zombies and it sells so I do think they are gonna stop anytime soon. Eh tis life
So right, this game is shit
One may face games now with additional zombies. Just made heaven for me and it took all the z parts out it be original game
Poor spell-checking by the manufacturers. It is Eire not Erie at 3:40
I wondered what that meant. A particular city in Pennsylvania seems a little granular for a board this size.
@@nightcatarts Either that or their sense of geography is a bit off lol
Their brains must be zombiefied.
Smosh games should play this
Is this RISK 2 with zombies?
Holy crap this guy is good
It looks like the game is based off of the ever popular anniversary edition board layout. Is this accurate?
Really want to see him dm call of cthulhu game or something like that
I didn't know Avalon Hill was still around.
MUTTTOOOOOOOONS!
They are magnificent
Him he got a cool tone but they both should present as it cool way to do different voices for comedy parts
I don't know about the the zombie version, but the regular game I wouldnt recommend if your a sore loser or bad at adapting. It can be pretty punishing to lose half your navy or most of your ground forces as you placed them too far ahead and you forgot to give them enough support or the other guy got lucky.
Nice twist to a classic game
No. Its just unnecessary...
cyberpimp29 No A&A&Z is actually a pretty fun version of A&A
Before the game came out I thought this is a terrible idea of putting zombies into the A&A franchise because it's just not the style of A&A. I might change my mind now and even probably try it out since you should not judge a thing before you actually try it.
Speaking as someone that still has his old Milton Bradley copy and used to transcribe what happened in games for fun... It looks to me like this version may have found a way to mitigate the problem of infantry being too powerful defensively. That said, my prejudice* against "event card" mechanics may keep this game off my radar.
*It's a mild prejudice, but a prejudice nonetheless. It's why Fortress America is my least favorite game of the old MB series, for example, and it's the one expansion module for Kingsburg I actively dislike. I can tolerate the variant in Dead Of Winter, though, even though I still find it flawed.
@@Some_Guy_In_Ohio I got the old Fortress America, SHOGUN+ A&A games (as well as their new millennial versions) myself! Since they're entrenched, I always thought infantry defended just perfectly but I won't be playing this Z version either!!!
No, your first instinct was correct.
@@nolimit7959 - Owning it on the fail that is A&A&Z....
@@cyberpimp29 You see, I haven't play this game by myself so I can't say it's a bad or good game cuz I'm not qualify to comment it yet
Why does this guy remind me of sideshow bob from simpsons
The hair
It's Daddy Chops!
Any AA guns in this?
Salty Dog Gaming sadly not
this is a great explanation but that music is giving me a headache
So it’s like Risk?
Gods Choice just like checkers is “like” chess
what happened to italy
The sideburns, THEY BURN!!!
Could you do a How to Play on these?

Mind that VoD & Dinogenics aren't out yet.
Great video, I'm actually disappointed with Axis & Allies. I wish they would've came out with something else. Over the years we've all heard Axis & Allies needs to come out with anything on the Eastern Front, North Africa, Sea Lion, Midway, Coral Sea just to name a few. They must be trying to capitalize in the zombie thing??? I can see diehard fans wanting something else and spending money on the ones I've mentioned. Instead we got zombies this time. I'll be skipping this one and saving my money. I can only hope they get back on track. 😥
Wouldn’t the axis and allies stop fighting to deal with the zombie threat
You underestimate the sheer stupidity of politicians
I would like to get this game but it seems complicated 🤔
Start with OG axis & allies. It's a little simpler and if you like that you'll most likely love the others. There's over a dozen different versions I believe.
Does anyone else have the original axis and allies?
Idk how or why I got here but this is making my brain hurt
I just fin a game of regular axies and allies
You are better off there my man...
@@cyberpimp29 I won if it matter lol
@@cyberpimp29 Even the 1941 baby version is better than Z's!!!
I hope Ivan and his mutton chops stay
For those who don't know, you get a free infantry unit every time you kill a zombie
Damn Becca!!
Is it a new dress?
new make up?
Somethings different but damn you’re looking gorgeous today!
This person looks like a character that would be on Red Dead Redemption 2
Something seems....different....
Im offended North America isnt the center on the game board.
All the time I spent painting zombie units and writing my own set of rules, and someone made a zombie version...
Man Becca not good looking anymore.
i feel like im being seduced while being taught the rules of a boardgame
I’m just going to say-I don’t like Becca Scott’s new haircut.
I now know what I want for Christmas. But I’ll change it up a bit:
The undead comes back to life, but they get their souls back so now you got supersoldiers!
I'm here for the paradigm shift.
And what exactly balanced the Axis against the Rest? They have Less IPC, Less Territory, and as far as i can see, also less start Units.... Whats the Balance of the Game?
Bad game, dumb concept
@@cyberpimp29 stop being mad that your precious nazis don't win the game automatically
@@mbras9176 - My precious Nazi's? Dude wtf?!? My problem with this stupid game is the Zombies. You are projecting some kind of bs onto me. Millennial, right?
German gets first turn over the UK and Japan gets the first turn over the US. Plus, A&A starts with Germany firmly in control of Europe and the UK short on transports. Finally, Germany starts with more armor that they can concentrate at running over Russia. A swift strike claiming lots of territory in the first turn can result in the Axis establishing themselves and crippling Russia.
@@roguishpaladin Green jacket? Gold jacket? Who gives a shit?
My buddy and I play as if the zombies take over, the zombies win.
I can’t believe this shit is real
Still don't get it
This game is impossibly difficult
Ugh... must... paint..!
Gimme that sweet, sweet cri... wait, hang on.
Ivannnn /)o3o/)
* black ops 2 zombies screaming start
Don't take this the wrong way, Ivan, but I really hope Becca never starts cutting her hair & gluing it to her cheeks. I don't think she could pull it off..
The one bit of the zombie part of this that doesn't make sense to me is that the zombies can just pop up anywhere. It seems like it'd make more sense if the zombies got assigned a few starting positions & then spread from there instead, with the cards perhaps determining direction or growth rather than a new outbreak nowhere near the last one.
I love how Italy isn’t considered a world power. Makes sense. Wouldn’t want the axis team being weaker than needed.
This looks like hoi
No hate to Becca but I miss Ivan and wish he was in more stuff.
WOW, PAID PROMOTIONAL CONTENT: THE SHOW IS ON!
Y f h I m Congo if lisle
T
Hmm who punched him in the eye ?
Yahtzee plus zombies!
Hate to say it, but Ivan has a much better stage presence than Becca...
Yes because I actually understand whats the game is about. When Becca presented games I was kinda distracted...
That's probably because (to the best of my knowledge) he's a much more experienced GM and so is better at presenting more complex games to beginners. I suspect he also has more experience with the genre.
He has a bit more experience then her.
Guys, experience hardly matters when they're just reading a script. I'd assume (but could be wrong) the same person writes the script regardless of who's presenting.
It wouldn't surprise me if they wrote their own scripts for this, but I could be wrong. I'd expect to see more of a difference in the gameplay though since that's essentially unscripted (even if some parts may be re-shot, making it appear more scripted due to not being as spontaneous).
Cuz zombies can't bite planes.
Planes eventually have to land...
...on aircraft carriers! ^^
0:58 was so freakin satisfying
