What the hell? That’s only 2 days away.

Congrats.

I would have waited to release it in 14-August, though (V-Day in the Pacific).

We now have updated the FAQ - https://axisandalliesonline.com/aao_faq_1.5.pdf - there's a ton of changes improving the game since the very first announcement in February.

@JuliusBorisov
The document says that the game will be available just in English, but I remember I ready somewhere that languages support would have been granted.

JuliusBorisov

I think that has been our position since Day 1. We plan to add more languages in future updates to the game.

@JuliusBorisov
Ops, sorry, did not remember that was planned on a second stage. Thank you!

It’s launched, but we’re investigating a problem with the .exe file.

@JuliusBorisov You may want to add sections for the game on the forums.

We'll get there later.

I like the game. I'd like to see Technology and a single player total conquest option. Gameplay and interface are well thought out but slow. I like the addition of Artillery, Destroyers, and Cruisers. How about mechanized infantry? Online game creation temporarily disabled message and two Server disconnects. But otherwise stable. Thanks for all of your hard work and I hope you continue to improve the game.

Hello everyone, firstly let me congratulate the team for a successful implementation of Axis & Allies board game. I have wonderful memories of playing this game with my brothers when we were young and, thanks to Beamdog, we are able to continue to play using the online version. Again thank you.

I was wondering if there are any plans to roll out enhancements to the game such as including technology? Is this or are there other enhancements planned in the comings months.

Cheers,

JuliusBorisov

Hello, @OneShoulder! Axis & Allies 1942 Online is a digital adaptation of Axis & Allies 1942, 2nd Edition. We're working based on the license with the right holder.

Technology is not a part of Axis & Allies 1942, see
https://media.wizards.com/2015/rules/AA_1942_rules.pdf . Potentially, we're interested in exploring other box sets in the future, but at the moment, we're focused on polishing up Axis & Allies 1942 Online.
