G.I. JOE Battle for the Arctic Circle Powered by Axis & Allies

Heads up! If you’re a fan of the Axis & Allies board game, then you’re most definitely going to want to check this out!

For those that may need a refresher on what Axis & Allies is, here’s the scoop thanks to the A&A wiki:

Axis & Allies is a series of World War II strategy board games. The first version was initially published in 1981 and a second edition known colloquially as Axis & Allies: Classic was published in 1984. Played on a board depicting a Spring 1942 political map of Earth divided by territories, players take the role of one or more of the five major belligerents of World War II: the Axis powers of Germany and Japan; and the Allied powers of the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Turns rotate among these belligerents, who control armies of playing pieces with which they attempt to capture enemy territories, with results determined by dice rolls. The object of the game is to win the war by capturing enough critical territories to gain the advantage over the enemy.

Now that you’re up to speed, let’s get to it!
