Axis and Allies is a board-game sold by Milton Bradley concerning World War II.  The game begins in the Spring of 1942 as the United States is entering the war.  The game is simple compared to many of the available expansions, but immensly enjoyable.  The game also allows for much quicker play than World at War, so it's good for those times when you're in a hurry.  It is an EXCELLENT game and I highly reccommend purchasing it.

The game involves 5 countries, which are the US, Great Britain, Germany, Japan, and Russia.
