About the game
Take on the role of a famous commander with abilities that shake up the tried-and-true way you’ve played for years. The “standard” opening moves that you’ve seen over and over again will soon be a thing of the past, and that will lead to new and exciting conclusions as well! Axis & Allies: Commanders introduces Admirals and Generals from 9 different countries, plus two WWI Supreme Commanders, each with power-specific abilities that can be used in any version of Axis & Allies. Features new artwork of every commander! —description from the publisher
