Axis and Allies: Family Throw Down

Last Sunday night the kids and I sat down and decided to play a game of Axis and Allies. The kids played the Axis and I played the Allies.  This was a learning game for them, but I did not go easy on them. They had to think about each of their choices and work as a team.

So the game started out pretty well, my son took the Germans and my daughter took Japan. My son took a very conservative approach to play the Germans as well as my daughter. I on the other hand did not, I came out of the gate swinging for the fences.  Here is a couple of rounds of the game that ended in a win for myself.  They of course wanted a rematch.

At the end of the turn above I took Germany, South Europe and Eastern Europe. Once that occurred I turned my attention to Japan.

My large combined fleet closed in on Japan and finally took out Japan.  Game Over! It was a well played 3 hour game.
