These building trucks can " unpack" into all other essential buildings, which aid in producing combat units, technologies, and the three major resources of the game: money, ammo, and oil. In standard gameplay, the player deploys building trucks from a Corps HQ, the main military headquarters building.

Like in other RTS games, the player must expend resources to construct buildings and recruit units to fight the enemy, while maintaining an economy, progressing through a build tree, and researching upgrades. A "City Control" percentage option may be enabled, in which the winner of the battle goes to the first side/team to capture a set percentage of cities on the map. The primary objective of gameplay is to destroy all opposing enemy military forces, though some campaigns and maps require other objectives to be completed, such as capturing certain cities, escorting a caravan, or defending a specific area. Gameplay is played mainly in the real-time strategy genre, though turn-based strategy is used in WWII mode. The player battles against other generals in one of three game modes: World War II, custom game, and campaign mode. Particularly noteworthy are the most expensive Special Operations, which include large damaging area of effect abilities such as carpet bombing, kamikazes, V-weapons, and nuclear bombs. Four generals exist for each nation, with each general having access to unique Special Operation abilities, such as summoning fake tanks, deploying a secret agent, or giving an area buff to friendly units. Each nation has access to its own unique military units, such as snipers for the Soviets, flamethrower tanks for the British, and King Tiger tanks for the Germans. In Axis & Allies, the player assumes the role of a military general of one of the five superpowers of World War II: the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Soviet Union, and Japan. Axis & Allies: Collector's Edition was released as a new name for the game on Augby Encore Software. The game was met with positive reception, although some reviewers claimed the game fell short in terms of AI mechanics and in an overemphasis on base management. The game is TimeGate's best-selling game release, upon the company's closure in 2013. The player is able to rewrite and recreate the history of World War II. Set in the years after Japan and the United States entered into the war, the game allows the player to act as a World War II commander to build military forces to fight against other generals, using military units and technologies from the war.

The game was released on November 2, 2004. Also as in the Kohan games, troops may be lead by powerful "General" characters, who bring bonuses to the soldiers under their command and gain new powers as they successfully progress through the campaign.Axis & Allies is a real-time strategy World War II video game developed by TimeGate Studios and published by Atari for Microsoft Windows. Of course, real-world tactics become even more important in this kind of gameplay. Real-time battlegrounds are dynamically generated, based on the actual environments of the locations in which they are set on the world map.īorrowing a few innovative concepts from the Kohan series, Axis & Allies has players controlling their troops in groups, and managing warfare from the position of a "master strategist." Instead of continually clicking to assign individual soldiers to attack individual targets, players assign orders to whole companies of soldiers, to conquer an entire enemy group or take over a town. When forces meet on the map, battles can be resolved by the computer or in real-time play. In addition to the real-time play of the main campaigns, Axis & Allies also offers a "World War" mode, which is turn-based and may be played similarly to the original board game. In control of the Axis powers, players faces 12 additional scenarios, which present an alternate reality in which the Allies are ultimately defeated. There are 12 missions in which players control the Allied forces, through a linear campaign that follows the history of the war. The game features two dozen single-player scenarios in all.

While the classic Avalon Hill board game "Axis & Allies" has enjoyed a number of computer game conversions throughout the years, this 2004 version from Kohan developer TimeGate Studios is the first to translate the World War II turn-based strategy for real-time play.
