 Absolutely awesome game, though a bit generic December 31, 2008
First off I'll state that you should definentely get the expansion for this, it's just not complete without it.
Now, you can think of this as either a complicated version of risk, or a simplified Axis and Allies, either way, you get an amazing game. A basic description of this game would be that it is a somewhat generic WWII based game where a player will have to wage war until he/she captures the enemy(s) capital(s). There is a small helping of economy and politics thrown in for good measure, but it is mostly military gameplay.
In the original game (this one) you get half of the planet to play on, but the expansion gives you the rest of the board, as well as hundreds of naval minitures which are not included in this original.
The gameplay is fun, different every time, only as difficult as your opponent(s).
Some tips I will give from my experience playing this game...
- Play with at least 3 people, preferably 4-6
- Set aside PLENTY of time, preferably across 2 or 3 days. (The game takes around 6 hours to fully complete with 4 people)
- Use Poker Chips instead of the included Paper bills for money, they don't crumple up like paper does.
- Clip the Original and Expansion boards together with paperclips to keep them in place
- And finaly, use whatever means needed to acheive victory over your enemys! Diplomacy, Bribeing, Backstabbing, Doubledealing, or just good old fasioned military supremacy.
Overall:
Pros:
Fun
Social
Large Board
Tons of peices
Overall nicely made (quality)
Cons:
Takes a while, set time aside
Somewhat Generic WWII game
A big hit January 19, 2008
My 11yo son got this for Xmas, and has played with it almost every day since. When he is not strategically annhilating my army, he sets up the pieces on his desk and uses them to stage other battles from his imagination. His 9yo brother also learned the game easily. We also have Age of Mythology from Eagle Games, but Attack is a little less complicated, and a bit quicker moving along. Not a short game though.
Great company sells great games February 16, 2007
My 13 and 14 year old sons love this game. Hours and hours of fun.
I love the supplier. There was a delay of shipment because of all that snow so they included the expansion pack free of charge! Talk about customer service! WOW!
 Terrific game! But you need to get the expansion too... July 22, 2006

I wouldn't say I'm a know-it-all when it comes to board games, but I do know what is fun (for me).
I started getting re-addicted to Risk about a year ago, but I wanted more strategy and more depth. I looked around and purchased Axis and Allies World Edition. I found that game a little too deep, it felt like I was playing a computer game. It was difficult to keep track of things and it took almost 1.5 hours just to set up! Anyway, if you are looking for something incredibly deep and almost a simulator of WWII, then go with Axis and Allies.
That's when I purchased Attack! (I just saw it in the hobby shop and went for it). I have never made a better choice with a board game. It's a beautiful mix of random play (like Risk), and depth (like Axis/Allies). The game takes about 2-4 hours to play, 30 min to set up (including teaching someone new how to play) and an incredible amount of time to master.
The key component that I should point out, and the part that I love, is the random play. I feel this is what really makes Risk a great game. For example: If I have played Axis and Allies for awhile I would know what my first 3 moves would be if I was USA. That to me is not fun, the game is always the same.
Now Attack! gives you that random play that Risk is so good at. In Attack! the start of the game is always different because you start in different territories every game (depending on when you go in the rotation). The game is always different, and makes for some good post-game stories :)
Lastly this is only half of the game, and it's totally different when you have the expansion as well. This game feels kind of kiddy at first because it's so basic but when you get the expansion things become much more involved. So I highly reccomend the expansion as well (I see here at Amazon they are incredibly cheap too...)
This is the most funest game ever made! April 2, 2005
