Welcome to the world's biggest and best axis & allies club

Welcome to the IAAPA

Welcome to the International Axis and Allies Players Association — the oldest Axis and Allies Gaming Organization in the world! If you love the game and are looking for more than the occasional weekend with friends, then you have come to the right place!

We are a dedicated group of A&A enthusiasts who love the game. We use Play by Email (PBEM), the ideal way to satisfy your gaming needs without having to set aside long blocks of time to play. Our easy-to-use dice server automatically rolls out battles for you, and provides a verification log and emails the results to both players. We even have map programs and odds calculators for download on our website, everything you need to get started.  

We currently support both Axis and Allies Classic (Original, aka 1984) and Axis and Allies Revised (AAR, aka 4th edition, aka A&A 2004) game play.  We have an active core of players, so you can always find an opponent eager to play. In addition to regular games, we also host a number of unique tournaments that run throughout the year.

So please look around our site, and when you are ready, take The Final Hurdle and join the ranks of the best Play by E-mail Axis and Allies organization in the world. And remember, it is all 100% FREE. So what are you waiting for? Join today.

Welcome Back to our Returning Members!

We would like to welcome the following members back to the IAAPA family:

Molvas - last seen in 2015 after a crushing defeat to Spud in the 2014 Masters, GEN*** Molvas is back for revenge. His tourney triumphs include Summer Open 2009 and 2012, Masters 2011, Spring AAR 2010, 2011 and 2014 and the Fall AAR in 2009. In addition he was crowned Tournament Player of the Year in 2012.

Diecaster - back after an 11 year absence, Diecaster is a GEN* with an impressive 27-8 record. In the past he has played almost exclusively 2nd edition, hopefully we can get him to jump into some AAR games.

Byrons_Brigade - returning after a 19 year absence, MAJ Byrons_Brigade is the Summer Open champion from 2001. He was very active in the club and a regular insightful contributor on the message boards until real life got in the way. 

GroeFaZ - it's been acht Jarhe since we last saw our previous Minister of Tournaments on the battlefield. His Battlefield Reviews can be seen here. He is looking to add to his 2008 Combat Pro tournament title. He was so popular that he was profiled twice; once here and the second time here.  He is, in his own words, the best field marshal of all time. Nothing like painting a target on your back, huh?

Daninja - from our Australian regiment, Col Daninja returns to the IAAPA family after a 17 year absence. He was one of our archivists, check out his Snapshots in Time here.

KenBell - one of our best and highest ranking players ever, GEN**** KenBell brings his 84-18 record back after a 16 year break. Even after all this time I doubt there is any rust on this guy, but it might be your best chance to beat him!

SGT_BILL - another one of our wayward AAR experts, he could only stay away for a couple of years, and we missed him. Welcome back SGT_BILL (who is a LT now, by the way). 

Great to have you all back, and may your dice roll fair.

IAAPA is now FREE!
