mindstar108Yes My boys love this game. Easy to learn. Miniatures are well produced.
slapdash1010Some Axis and Allies is a great game and can be a lot of fun if players are at a similar experience level. Not a lot of fun to play if you are the best or the worst. A lot of downtime between turns.
ed95005810Yes Boys will love this, a classic.
Mark810Yes Classic World War II game.
pikkusiili2000812Yes Mostly good for kids with a very long attention span and interest in war
The Unbeliever812Yes Long.
wkusau811Yes Cool toy soldiers and a little history. This is long so attention span is a problem. The game itself is better for older teens but younger kids can play.
BaSL712Yes Great, but big WWII game. Requires some experience with other 'bigger' games.
Darksan710Yes A bit to complicated for most children they can still have lots of fun with the miniatures.
Elden711Yes It's a longer war game. More developed that most board games familiar to 10-12 year olds. The strategy stretches kids. There is definitely a chance for frustration due to the perceived difficulty and length of time and effort put into the game.
mawiker710Yes  
pilgrim79Yes I've played this with our boys the last two Christmas vacations. Our 11 and 9 year old request it, enjoy playing it, and would like to play it again. Our 7 year old wants to play it but never lasts very long; the minis appeal to him (I think), but he just doesn't have the patience for the turns. My rating reflects the game as played by an 11 & 9 year old; there's a bit too much going on for them to play a competitive game (and it's difficult to help one, without being viewed as unfair by the other), and they take losing a bit hard when we have invested so much time into a single game. When the age gets pushed up to 13-14, the rating goes up to a 9.
