DESCRIPTION

This is a free computer version clone of the "Axis & Allies" board game
by Milton Bradley.

Now with a head-to-head network play option!

The biggest difference between this version and all the other attempts
(both commercial and non-commercial) is that this implementation is
exclusively for the Amiga! :)

The game is currently incomplete but still playable in its current form.
Only R&D rules remain to be implemented as well as configuration options.
See the included AmigaGuide file for more details.
