Ice see some more puns, finally. No need to be so cold towards this game.

I suppose some people will like the game but my reaction will probably be the 'polar' opposite.  :nope:

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

Does that mean I have to order another set of hard bound manuals, or are they issuing an addendum volume?

No, you burn the old manuals. That's why it's called, 'World in Flames'.  :hehe:

LOL

That was one of my last projects over there, to start working on WiF. But it was such a hot mess I pretty much gave up on it. I think that was one of the nails in my coffin over there, but they just didn't pay enough to deal with that much minutiae. ;D

I've fallen in and out of love with this game multiple times before-- never again. I really hope they make it playable at some point. And affordable too.

I had the original board game version, a lot of years ago. The concept was excellent, especially the naval rules, but there were so many issues with the rules as to render it pretty much unplayable.

I can't imagine a game that complex is ever really going to be playable as a computer game. It never seemed realistic to try to adapt it. Hell, it's barely playable as a face-to-face board game.
