About the game
Blitz! A World in Conflict is an army-level adaptation of the internationally award winning global World War II wargame World in Flames. Blitz! covers the entire globe on one large (approx 910mm x 560 mm/36"x22") map of the world with area-based movement covering every theater of the war (Europe, N Africa, Pacific, E. Asia, N Atlantic, etc.) Blitz! A World in Conflict is a stand-alone boxed game. It includes almost 400 two-sided counters providing all the armies, air wings, and fleets for all the major combatants and many other countries, selected commanders, plus game markers. It plays in a fraction of the time needed for most historically-accurate World War II campaign games (2 hours for Barbarossa, 5 to 8 hours for the entire global war) while still giving players the opportunity to cover the entire war. Rules include various options so you can tailor the game to your preferences and experiment with "what if" situations," including revising the politics of the 1930s before the war begins. At last you can re-fight with all WW2 WiF style in less than a lifetime. Contents • 1 large map (559mm x 864 mm) • 396 two-sided full colour counters • 1 Rule book • 8 two-sided Weapons Development Charts • 2 x 6-sided dice
