“For me, it all started as a project that I took care of heart and soul,” Oster says. Oster is one of the co-founders of BioWare, he later founded Beamdog with BioWare lead programmer Cameron Tofer and is now the head of the studio. The idea for its implementation comes from previous experiences of Trent Oster. Behind this is the Beamdog studio, which in recent years has mainly been dealing with improved editions of RPG classics such as Baldur’s Gate or Neverwinter Nights. Video game adaptations of board games are no longer rare and so it’s no surprise to see an adaptation by Axis & Allies. Far comparable to risk, it is also the conquest of territories for one’s own camp, which of course represent the belligerents of the time.

Although the game that deals with WWII is less well known in this country and could hardly be found in normal toy stores. Why Beamdog’s 1942 adaptation of the Axis & Allies board game is difficultĪxis & Allies is a board game with a long tradition dating back to 1981.
