World in Flames, it's not a game, it's a hobby in a box!

Update - 18 November 2024! The 2024 print of the World in Flames the Collector's edition game and all its expansions (Divisions in Flames, Planes in Flames, Ships in Flames and Territories in Flames) is now available.

Due to a large increase in the printing charges and the reduction in the value of the Australian$ we will unfortunately have to increase the Australian$ price on release. However as a special intro offer we will keep the cost at the current Australian$ price until the new year.

Thank you for your support for our games.

In 1985 Australian Design Group launched what would become the definitive international award winning game of World War II, World in Flames. Now after 32 years we are giving you the greatest strategy game ever.

*************************

• One 297 x 420 mm full-colour hard-mounted map of The Americas; and
• One 297 x 420 mm full-colour hard-mounted Turn record chart.

Changes to the 2024 World in Flames collector's edition maps

1) fixed up the PatiF middle east borders so they run along the hexsides (the originals were slightly misaligned) and gave Aqaba direct access to the Asian map

2) added the Shetland Islands and the port of Lerwick (considering the microscopic atolls we include in the Pacific, a shocking omission from the original maps, no wonder we have so few sales to the Shetland Islands)

3) added the Greek coastal rail line and the port of Alexandroupoli

4) added the Philippine rail line

5) changed the alpine hexes marginally in the North Italian alps to better represent the Tyrol (at least according to a tyrolean skier, don't blame me if they are wrong), 

6) moved the arctic zone weather name on the American mini-map to show it more clearly and

(7) made small adjustments to make distances more accurate, e.g. moving the Faroes Is so they lie between the on-map and off-map areas (they are still an off-map hex but are now 6 movement points closer to Britain than they were to make them their actual distance apart), and

8) generally tidied up the map to make it more aesthetically pleasing (e.g. see Stavanger above) and clearer (like make the inlets wider and deeper so that all-sea hexsides are more obvious, e.g. see the inlet next to Hull above) and added a few more island names (some of which you can see off Norway above).
