Renegade has been doing great with the GI Joe license and all the expansions for it's games. Axis and Allies is a perfect fit for GI Joe also.

Now I just need a video game studio to look at this and use it for the basis for a GI Joe RTS.
I've been dreaming about that since I first played Command and Conquer Red Alert in the late 90s. IT'S SUCH A PERFECT FIT. (Mind you, I also want a Nintendo RTS featuring the Koopas vs Space Pirates vs Ganon's forces. I want more fun RTSes, dammit. Also, GI Joe as TeamFortress is an even more perfect fit and no one's done that, either....) |

I hope the Joes also get Polar Battle Bears from 1983, and Avalanche snow tanks from 1990.
Cobras could get Arctic HISS tanks and SNAKE Armor. Hoping for Snow Serpents. |

I am a board game fan. I love games like Puerto Rico, Settlers of Catan and Hero Quest. I tried very hard to play Axis & Allies when it first came out but I was too young to grasp it.
Then years later in my 20's I tried again. I tried to play with a friend who also liked board games. We still struggled to truly grok the game, to fully feel comfortable playing it and enjoy it rather than have it be a chore. I hope the G.I. Joe version is colorful, fun, has lovely thematic "Industrial Production" paper money and is - I don't want to say "simplified" because I don't want it too dumbed down, but I frankly may be too dumb or inattentive for full fledged Axis & Allies.

I'm hoping for Zarana & Zandar. A pair. Twins. Together.
If this is what I think it is, we got Zartan, and Zarana and Road Pig instead. ...

I agree that this should be trimmed down to a 40-90 minute game. Not longer. And I am fine with a simplified production system, where you just get X cost worth of units per turn. This is not a multi-year campaign. |

On another topic, sounds like this one is a video game instead of an actual board game. Says uses the “engine” of some other game which is video game talk right? Anybody know different?

"Engine" can also apply to a board game as well. For instance, there are several games using the Pandemic board game engine.

I wonder which version of the A&A game engine they will use.
It sounds like the map board will focus on the Arctic circle, though something like A&A Global would very cool. |
