Blitz! A World in Conflict

About this board game

Blitz! A World in Conflict is an army-level World War II wargame for 1–5 players, with a full global campaign taking about 480 minutes. Adapted from the award-winning World in Flames, it brings the conflict’s major theaters together on one large, area-based world map.

Direct forces across Europe, North Africa, the Pacific, East Asia, the North Atlantic, and other regions as you revisit the worldwide struggle. The game includes armies, air wings, fleets, selected commanders, and game markers for the major combatants and many other countries.

Despite its global scope, Blitz! is designed to play in a fraction of the time required by many historically accurate World War II campaign games. A Barbarossa scenario can take about two hours, while the entire global war can be played in roughly five to eight hours.

• One large world map measuring approximately 910 × 560 mm
• 396 two-sided, full-colour counters
• Eight two-sided Weapons Development Charts
• One rule book and two six-sided dice

Optional rules let you tailor the experience to your preferences and explore alternative outcomes. You can even revise the politics of the 1930s before the war begins, creating opportunities for “what if” situations within the game’s global framework.

As a standalone boxed game, Blitz! A World in Conflict offers a streamlined way to experience a World in Flames-style World War II campaign without requiring a lifetime to complete it.
