Axis & Allies

I just bought the PC version for $29 and since I am such an A&A fan there is no way I will regret the price, however;

One alarming discovery is that there is no navy represented and the planes are not isolated pieces but integrated within infantry or armor in other words there are no Bombers and fighters to just do random bombings/attacks and the seas are completely free of subs or u-boats or aircraft carriers. I am really disappointed.   

In the world campaign mode I can only choose one side to control and so far the AI has cost me every single victory by playing completely retarded and I can not adjust the AI.   Unbelievable.

I have to say the world campaign just sux... WTH Atari?

There are huge differences as I have 3 different Risk versions I play right now. A & A is at another level completely. Risk is great for quick campaigns and A & A is great for more in depth lengthy campaigns against skilled adversaries but this PC version of A & A truly pales in comparison.

I can not imagine why they would leave out the naval campaigns and significantly limit the aerial campaigns if you want to even call it that. I am just disappointed because it is like they released the game half complete. The graphics are nice and the custom campaigns are really detailed and engaging but the world campaign is really half of what it could and should be.

Hmm, not sure what you mean? Atari's PC version of the game is really graphical and challenging, no waste of money at all but I see only attached pieces and no navy represented on the map in the world campaign mode, just in the individual battle sequences. They have attached abilities but there is no challenge from sea to sea. You just pass right over them unscathed.

BUT WHO CARES...

Your link is EXACTLY what I have wanted. Thank you for passing it along. Unbelievable that it is free. Very cool...
