Where it came from
World in Flames was first published in 1985 by Australian Design Group, emerging from the ambitious vision of Harry Rowland to create a definitive, grand-strategy simulation of the Second World War. The game was designed to cover the entire global conflict on a massive scale, utilizing a complex system of production, diplomacy, and tactical combat that challenged players to manage resources across every major theater of the war.
The game is renowned for its immense physical footprint and rigorous attention to historical detail, requiring hundreds of hours to complete a full campaign. Over its several editions, the design was refined through player feedback and extensive errata, establishing it as a benchmark for heavy hex-and-counter wargaming. It remains a staple for serious hobbyists who value depth, scope, and the simulation of high-level military logistics.
