I'm in, I love A&A.  I hope they include a modern day physics and equipment version.  I played a modified A&A with things like stealths to develop once.  I loved it.

PC game.  I didn't do much research beyond linking the article.

Turn based.

Gordo, RTS=Real Time Strategy.

Historically, Axis and Allies is a turn based strategy akin to Risk and the like, just more complicated.

I know that; I wasn't born yesterday.  But I read the article, and saw this line:
"With each battle fought in real-time..."

Also, if you click on the "related articles" link, you can see some screen shots which look like every other RTS ever made, and some bullet points such as "Command land, sea and air units in real-time."

You still think it's turn-based?

If not, then the developers should be banned, then shot.

**Sorry, missed the reference there.  My mistake.  And same appology to you Gordo.**

It's just not clear to me from the article.  Maybe it's a real-time turn-based game.

If it's a real time strategy game, I'll just say right now that I liked it better the first time I played it when it was called, "Command and Conquer: Red Alert."

But if each battle is fought in RT, but the game turns are RT, is it really an RTS?

It's namely a hybrid in that case, but in the end, you're unfocusing the game.  The idea of Axis and Allies was to be a thinking game, where time, thought, and strategy won out, not the snap actions of a twitchy gamer.
