Check your NetPlayReg.txt and your NetplayRegistration.txt file in your World in Flames folder. The first contains your username and password (along with your email address and country or region if you put those in the first time, but username and password are what you need) for the netplay forum ...

Currently there is an AI being worked on and currently it will play the Russian side in the introductory Barbarossa scenario.

Haven't run into the problem but I can see it happening if a file were edited in Notepad, as explained below in my experiment.

I opened the fast start Global War file with Notepad and searched for "dorf". Second hit down showed the city name with the second character represented by a box with a ...

I have some insights.

There's been nothing new on the developers' situation but AFAIK work continues. (I am a beta tester.)

Yes there is a new rules set (the "Collector's Edition") that was marketed with revised counters and map and a number of rules changes. But it is still 99% World in Flames ...

I have run it with Wine on Ubuntu18. Didn't find any issues.

Regrettably, I don’t know a soul who is into wargames at all, so this would be a solo endeavor and eventually netplay with strangers.

May I ask how long turns tend to take? I’m 90% certain to buy this this week… it seems so fascinating. And huge.


There are 36 turns (unless one side has lost ...

1. Probably. It's one of the best games ever made on WWII but without a lot of experience playing wargames, it would be a tall order. The good part is it enforces the rules so you can't go far astray.
2. Yes.
3. Warm and welcoming, but not too active. Questions will be answered though.
4. Yes to ...

The crossing arrow allows it when RR hexes are on either side.

Sure that can be done but if the game does not implement the rule correctly, you are still left with trying to find ways to fix game files for units that should have reorganized. Or conversely, say you want to use the Isolated Re-org rule in your game but keep the option turned off, then you have to ...

Seems to me the design is such that the length to trace is artificially limited to some finite distance so the program doesn't take a lloooonnnnggg time to do end of turn re-org. We humans "see" the map differently than the program does (at least this program).

Unfortunately if you use the option ...

Actually I meant the very lengthy entry under "What's New in v07.00.00.00?"

But anyway, you are free to believe whatever you like. Patience is the practice of waiting with calm endurance, while hope is the expectation of a future good, and those are admirable qualities.

Did you read the AI Opponent Mode of Play section in the first post of the linked thread under "What's New in v07.00.01.00?"

It is true that this is not allowed in RAW7.

The CE (most recent version of the game) has this rule for the end of the Reinforcement step: "Each major power may now voluntarily destroy any land or aircraft unit it controls (except partisans, see 13.1) if an enemy unit is in the same country or ...

The problem with Vassal (or Tabletop Simulator, or Cyberboard) for this game is that they all rely on the players to enforce the rules. Even with the best of intentions, even veteran players make mistakes. MWiF is great at enforcing the rules.

At the very best, the AI opponent for this game will ...

Check your active options (CTRL-O) to see if you have "in the Presence of the Enemy" turned on. If so, it costs an extra movement point (not range though) to move into each sea zone occupied solely by enemy surface or naval air forces. This movement penalty does not apply to aborting units or those ...

I think for RAW8 it was changed to say all fractions are retained but as this is written in RAW7 it looks like 10 vs 4

Still possible though...

It is definitely playable. There are some minor bugs and there are complaints about the convoy system not always giving full production, but you should not encounter any game-breaking bugs. If you run into trouble, there are plenty of people on the forum willing to assist.

A supply route to primary can use RR supply. The unit is on a coast and the Black Sea has a CP. I think it can trace overseas to a port for 1 and then along a RR to Hungary or Germany, with two to spare to get around interrupted RR hexes if need be. (Looks like the unit is in a zone with snow ...
