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.

Pausing a Computer Controlled Country's Turn
To stop the automatic progression of turn phases for a computer 
controlled country, you can either hit the Esc key or left click on the 
map.  Click on the `Done' button to continue.
------------------------------------------------------

MANUAL ERRATA:

Page 7. Options Screen.
The option buttons no longer use red and green lights.  Instead each 
option button is either bright green (highlighted) which indicates that 
the option is "on" or a dim green which indicates that the option is 
"off".  Note: the options buttons found on the Preferences screen also 
follow this format.
 
Page 8. Moving Units.
The Move Units button is no longer available on the unit edit screen.  
On pg. 8 of the manual under the Moving Units heading are instructions 
on how to move and add/delete units from the game. 

Page 9. Country Summary Buttons
You can no longer surrender from the Country Summary menu, you can only 
surrender from the Preferences menu.
