One of the most popular versions of Axis & Allies is making a return to shelves in the Fall of 2017. We have some of the first details about the new release.

We asked the folks at Avalon Hill & Wizards a few questions about the re-release and here is what we have learned so far:

Components are the same number as previously released (over 650)

Rules now include errata and FAQ (Avalon Hill/Wizards worked closely with Larry Harris on this)

MSRP is $100 (same as before)

The map had very minor modifications like the Japanese marker was removed from Manchuria and Kiangsu

The target release date for the new Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition is currently October 6, 2017 but Avalon Hill & Wizards do not have an official ship plan yet. The Amazon.com pre-order lists the shipping date as November 1, 2017.
