World in Flames Map Pack is an expansion for World in Flames released in 2013. It was designed by Harry Rowland and Greg Pinder and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Area Movement, and Dice Rolling.
From the publisher's website: "These are the first global contiguous WIF maps to date! All at the same consistent scale, they cover the entire Globe in 24 sections printed in full-color heavy stock gloss paper. You can use the sections separately or connect them for the full global map. Total size of the map is height 9ft (2.7 meters) and length 21ft (6.4 meters). That's nearly 200 square feet of map!" "The world map accurately depicts terrain at 90 kilometers per hex showing all major rivers, coastlines, island chains, and mountain ranges." The maps are identical in terms of scale to some of the old maps, however they are now expanded and continuous.
World in Flames Map Pack belongs to these categories: Wargame, World War II, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Area Movement, and Dice Rolling. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of World in Flames Map Pack are: Harry Rowland and Greg Pinder. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists World in Flames Map Pack as an expansion for World in Flames. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need World in Flames to use it. Check that your edition of World in Flames is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
