If you play only one country, and let the AI handle the others, I would estimate about 4-5 hours non stop...keep in mind that's based on my pace...someone else may complete the game at a quicker or slower rate...

You can finish the games vs. AI in one evening-long session (albeit you'll need a looongish evening, as JP said - 4-5 hours). You're free to split the game over several evenings if you wish so, and if you manage to order yourself to STOP! [:D]
Vs. human player(s) it's usually the same, depending on your style of play (hotseat, PBEM...). In every game vs. human I need at least 30% more time per turn to do the thinking (humans are more vicious than PCs, you have to account for all the possibilities [:D]) and if you play PBEM, you'll depend on other player's schedules.
Big thins going for this game is that it's really suited for many styles of play - solitary, PBEM... This game is certain to become HIT among PBEM gamers...

So a game against the AI could be done in 5 hours................how many turns for the whole game?

Seasonal turns, I think the game ends in Winter '46 (winter is first turn of the year in WAW) so that's 24 turns (give or take a turn).
First turn is Spring '40.

Of course, it depends on the player too. If you get your butt kicked by the AI like I tend to, the games should be a little shorter. [:D]

A 24 turn game? Jeez, I was hoping it would be somewhat longer. I kinda liked HOI, it took for-freaking-ever. I was REALLY hoping WAW would be the same. Oh well, at least there is WiTPs 1,500+ turns to keep me happy!

You can toggle on the game options "No End Date" and "No Auto Victory". Then by using a bidding system (using bonus supply points each turn), end up with a game that is balanced and won't end until one player takes over the world. In a well played game, that could take a long time.

i should clarify Joel's comment; it should be "won't end until one
side takes over the world"
Germany can't fight Japan, and the Western Allies can't fight the Soviet Union.
