Recently purchased WiF global map pack. Each hex = ~56 miles.

Has anyone tried playing a variant using A&A/HBG units on this map; translating movement values and coming up with a stacking limit per hex?

For example, if an A&A turn equates to ~3 months time, and an average Inf unit could move ~15 miles per day in clear weather/terrain, and assuming they are on the move for 60 of the 90 days, then average move for A&A Inf in WiF map would be ~16 hexes (excludes rail movement).

Regarding stacking limits per hex, max would be 3 land units per hex.

Idea would be to keep gameplay “simplicity” in line with A&A/HBG 1936, but take advantage of the WiF map details.

Curious if anyone has experimented with this combo.

@barnee thank you! So Germany goes first…

Can someone confirm turn order for the “Ozeta 1942 Global” version. Thanks!

Looks great!

Is there a release date? Location to buy/pre order?  Estimated price for the game?

Where will the game be sold when it’s available?  Will you have a separate site or thru HBG?  Want to make sure I don’t miss out!

Matrix Games just released a mega-version of World in Flames!

Looks incredible…95% carryover from the hex and counter versions.

Even has special hard bound manuals…

Anyone play the hex and counter version?

Attached are the D12 Unit Rules and National Advantages I use for a 1941 set up of HBG’s 1939 MAP.

National Advantages are a combination of good ideas from this forum over the years.

Has anyone found a link to images of the game board?

Are there pictures of the second edition italian sculpts?

Are these totally new or retreads from 50th Anniv which offered some unique Itialian units?

Thanks!
