DescriptionWe are currently accepting sign ups for the next regular game of World at War. This will be the 44th game of World at War. Which should tell you that the game is pretty good. World at War assumes that a global war is about to break out on the planet (similar to WWII on Earth) and each player is in charge of one of the countries. This is a strategic/operational level game, with the map consisting of irregular shaped areas, turns being 3 months, land units being mostly divisions, air units are squadrons and naval units are groups of ships. Some of the items in the game include: different types of resources (food, fuel, hmetal, lmetal, credits and production) required to build units. air units have to fly out of airbases to do a mission and return to base after the mission 10 types of land units (HQ Arm Mech Inf Par Mar Stc AT Art AA) 6 type of air units (Ftr LB MB HB ATrn) 6 type of naval units (CFlt HFlt LFlt Sub NATr NTrn) technology gains can be made in each type of unit units use up supply to do a mission limited intelligence world market to buy and sell resources diplomacy with neutral areas unlimited number of commands and unlimited number of units in an area
