Axis & Allies Online adapts rules from Axis & Allies 1942 Second Edition, a turn-based strategy board game in which players act as World War II powers on either side of the conflict: the Allied forces of United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union, or the Axis powers of Germany and Japan.

Axis & Allies is a series of World War II strategy board games, revered by history buffs and strategy game enthusiasts worldwide. In Axis & Allies 1942 Second Edition, five major powers struggle for supremacy: Germany and Japan form the Axis powers, while the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union form the Allied forces. The game accommodates 2-5 players, each controlling one or more of the Axis or Allied powers. Players command both their country’s military forces and its war-time economy. Victory goes to the side that conquers its opponents on the field of battle and liberates or occupies the greatest cities of the world.

Multiplayer games can include both AI and human players; players also have the option to play on their own against AI.
