[Consim-l] A&A Games

[Mike NotSpecified]

Thanks for the links!

Is Axis and Allies D-Day any good?  What about the naval game?

I think Hasbro\WOC\Whoever is actually doing themselves a dis-service branding 
everything A&A.  I see Axis and Allies and I tend to think of the originail 
game (Liked it for what it was), and the A&A Pacific game (did not like it) 
but I don't really think of either game as something I'm interested in.  But 
I'm beginning to understand that some of the newer games have less in common 
with the original than might be implied with the A&A name....
