World In Flames (not MWIF)

Post by warspite1 »

There has been a lot of discussion recently on board games. Well folks for those that don't know, the final ever version of Australian Design Group's World In Flames (greatest. game. ever. made. FACT) is coming out in the autumn.

For those that never got to play the game, but like board games, buying this is simply not an option. Even if, like me, the chances are you will never get to play the board version again (lack of space, lack of time, poor eyesight or whatever) this game still needs to be bought. Even if you can't play the game you can still spend quality time lovingly caressing the beautiful counters, fondling the fighters, slavering over the ships and.... well you get the picture.

The Collectors Edition contains 4,800 counters. Every ship of light cruiser and above, all the planes, the armies, the most famous generals are all here - what-if counters too. Hard board mounted maps - I'm coming over quite unnecessary at the mere thought... If you are serious about WWII, about games, and want something sexy to pore over on those long winter evenings then this is a must buy.

Best game evah made? You have "proven" FACTS from many many others besides youself.[:'(] I want to see these documents and presentation of the best game evah award. [:'(]

No. The Best Game Ever routine is a bit of fun - a bit of hyperbole. I happen to think its true but then that is just my humble opinion.

With respect the fact you'd never heard of it doesn't really preclude it from being an excellent, hugely successful game and previous winner of the Best 20th Century Game (Charles S Roberts Award), the winner of the Wargame of the Decade, the Winner of the State of the Art award and the winner of the Game of the Year (all Fire and Movement).

I can't comment on the games you've mentioned as I've never heard of them, but I am sure they are very fine games.

Don't forget WiF has three active week+ long annual conventions around the world. What other war game has that?

World In Flames (not MWIF)? I think that means My Wife Is Funny? So your wife is funny as in humorous? Oh now I get it. Matrix World In Flames. I'm not too sharp with acronyms but it can be fun coming up with words for lists of letters whose meaning you have no idea about. TOAW. Termination Of World Activated. Oh noes.

Doesn't look like they will reprint it, but you will find these once in awhile on Amazon and/or Ebay, but they aren't cheap. Before doing so, make sure you have a opponent or two, or you will regret it.

A game can not truly be said to represent Canada unless there is a option to build the what-if carrier Canada. So is she represented? The world needs to know.

HMCS Canada is indeed represented in the game. I feel my duty to the world now discharged.
