Hey all, recently decided to get into axis & allies as I’m a huge ww2 fanatic and grand strategy fan. I see that there are many versions of the game but I’m wondering which version is the absolute best starting point? My LGS has North Africa and as a long time fan of the North African theatre that’s got me intrigued but I’m up for any of them. I am aware that 1941 is a more streamlined cheaper version designed for new players but part of me wonders if it’s worth getting it if I know I’ll probably end up upgrading later on anyways.
