Mine is the Army Men series. Objectively mediocre games at best but the concept of toy soldiers fighting over our yards and rooms has always been cool to me

I played the hell out of this video game called Axis and Allies that I found for like $5 in cheap games section of Office Max around 2008. I’ve never heard anyone talk about it or share my experience. I’m sure it wouldn’t hold up if I played it today but back in '08 I was a pro.
It was actually a board first, and there have been a number of electronic versions throughout the years. I had one such adaptation on CD growing up in the late 90s, but I’m not sure it would be the same one you played.
Cool game, though. I sunk lots of hours into it.
Axis and Allies was a board game too I think?
I’m late to this party, but you might appreciate the open source Axis and Allies engine called TripleA.
My step-dad was a big WWII history buff, and he had the pc version of Axis and Allies installed on the family computer! Loved it and occasionally fire up TripleA for nostalgia.
I remember that one! It’s honestly pretty fun.
The “World War” mode was a nice headnod to the game’s namesake, the boardgame Axis & Allies, though the RTS combat was unique to the PC game.
I enjoyed the use of HQs to both build and limit your forces. It made sense that having multiple infantry corps HQs could let you build a large army, but comparably smaller Airborne or Armor HQs gave you different options with a smaller force.
Very fun game!
