AXIS & ALLIES README FILE (9/9/98)
Thank you for purchasing the Axis & Allies CD-ROM game. The following text
describes the last minute changes that were made to the game and also contains
errata for the manual. We hope that you enjoy playing the game as much as we
enjoyed making it.
------------------------------------------------------
NEW FEATURES:
Timer
During a multiple game you can set a time limit for each phase of a players
turn. The timer setting can be found on the options menu under the Preferences
section. You can manually adjust the time limit for each phase, each unit of
time equals one minute. For example, if you set the timer to 2 then each player
will have two minutes to complete each phase of his or her turn. Note: the timer
can only be set for multi-player games.
Quick Keys
The following keyboard shortcuts are available:
F6 - Save Menu
F9 - Activate Time Machine
Ctrl-Left Mouse click - Holding down the Ctrl key and left mouse clicking on a
stack of units allows you to move the entire stack during Combat Movement or
Non-Combat Movement.
Purchases Summary
On the country summary menu (activated by clicking on one of the five national
symbols at the bottom of the map screen) is a new button labeled purchases.
This button will show you what purchases you have made this turn.
Limited Weapon Developments
Weapon Developments have been limited to six chances per turn due to the limited
number of research facilities and resources that would be available to any
country in this game.
