So my friends and I have played Axis and Allies maybe 30 or 40 times. Long ago, we abandoned the traditional rules and started following a set of the my brother looked up on the internet. We’ve constantly added strange things and tweaked with other things. A week or so ago, we made some more drastic changes. It is no longer Axis and Allies but rather a 3 way onslaught with equal footing and total disregard to any historical or geographical realism.

I decided to see what kind of house rules people have made for Axis and Allies and have concluded that people are history nerds and have no imagination. All the rules seems to revolve around different war periods and lame slight modifications to the traditional 2 vs 3 Axis vs Allies rules.

Here’s a link for an open source (nerds rejoice!) axis and allies game that might be interesting. I’m not sure if it would allow customization to the extreme that we take it to, but it’s open source so maybe I’ll just hack it in.

Here’s the wikipedia info too wikipedia
