World in Flames

Players command the major WWII powers across five full‑colour maps that cover Europe, Russia, Africa, the Middle East, India, Asia, the Pacific and the Atlantic. Counters represent armies, corps, aircraft carriers, naval task forces and air groups; players manage production, movement and combat over multiple scenarios and a grand strategic campaign. Two to six players make strategic decisions about what forces to build, where to commit them and when to strike, with logistics, naval warfare and air power affecting outcomes. Extensive rules, charts and scenarios support deep, variable play where choices have long‑term, often unforeseen consequences.
