About the game
Divisions in Flames is Australian Design Group's newest World in Flames Collector's edition expansion that dramatically expands the scale of World in Flames to include many of the standard divisions, Infantry, armour, paras etc. as well as all the special forces like rangers, SNLF, Brandenburgers, NKVD and airlanding units for all the major powers and quite a few minors. Now you can fight an island hopping campaign, reduce losses in combat and launch probing raids deep into the enemy's rear. Divisions in Flames also includes artillery, from the smallest to the most devastating anti tank guns, mobile anti aircraft, fixed flak, tank destroyers and self-propelled guns to shore up your defence and prise open theirs. Finally we also include the Soviet Guards Banner armies and divisions that turn the Soviet army from a tenacious to a formidable foe capable of going toe to toe with Germany's finest panzer corps. Divisions in Flames, like all the Collector edition expansions, is playable with Patton in Flames or America in Flames as well as World in Flames. Divisions in Flames includes 400 full-colour counters that turn World in Flames from a great into an unforgettable experience. —description from the publisher
