The various editions over the years haven't changed the game much, just mostly tweaks to the rules.Axis & Allies 1942 is the basic game you know and love, using the 2nd edition of the rules. A good place to start.The Anniversary Edition has a much larger game board and allows you to play Italy and China, in addition to the countries from the original game.There are also 1914 and 1941 versions of the game, but I'm not familiar with them. I'm assuming 1914 is a WWI variant? Not sure of the difference between 1941 and 1942 editions.A fun (but expensive) version is the combo of A&A Pacific 1940 and A&A Europe 1940. Two games each focusing on a different theatre, but the boards can be placed side-by-side for a "global" game on a giant board!More recently is Axis & Allies & Zombies, which adds . . . . . . clowns to the game! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I haven't purchased or played this one yet, but it's on my want-list.All of the above are all essentially minor variants of the same game. There is also A&A D-Day, A&A Battle of the Bulge, A&A Guadalcanal, and the A&A Miniatures game . . . all of which are completely different games from the original and each other, just a part of the same franchise and all set during WWII. I have no experience with any of these.</blockquote>
