Something that came up during the recent discussions around Kenzer & Company’s new Kingdoms of Kalamar supplement and unlicensed 3rd party game expansions, was the number of unlicensed expansions for Axis & Allies that have been commercially published over the past 20 years . I’ve been a fan of A&A for ages, but I wasn’t aware of these products.

Here are some of the expansions I was able to find, and how they indicate their compatibility with the official Axis & Allies game. It’s interesting to note that most not only say they’re compatible with Axis & Allies, but also include a disclaimer that the use of the trademark is not approved. I wasn’t able to find anything that suggests Milton Bradley or Hasbro tried to block the sale of these products over the years. Nothing that indicated any sort of lawsuit at any rate.

If anyone has played any of these expansions, I’d be interested in hearing what you thought of them and how they changed the way the game plays.
