Editing Axis & Allies (section)

==Board games==
In addition to designing the board games, Larry Harris had also designed ''A&A: Europe'' and ''A&A: Pacific'', which had the core mechanics of ''Axis & Allies'' adapted for a specific theater. This, in turn, served as the catalyst for the revised edition. Although there were preliminary plans for a variant that allowed players to combine ''Europe'' and ''Pacific'' together, it had never been published. Larry Harris has announced two completely new editions, ''Axis & Allies Pacific 1940'' released in December 2009 and ''Axis & Allies Europe 1940'' released in Summer 2010, which will also include a variant that combines both games together.

Other Harris-designed ''Axis & Allies'' games were more tactical in nature, and focused on individual battles in specified, small areas: ''[[Axis & Allies: D-Day]]'' (2004) focused on [[Operation Overlord|the Allied liberation of France]], ''[[Axis & Allies: Battle of the Bulge]]'' (2006) focused on the [[Battle of the Bulge]], while ''[[Axis & Allies: Guadalcanal]]'' (2007) focused on the [[Solomon Islands Campaign]]. Though these games retained many of the traditional mechanics, some were specific to the particular game.
