World in Flames is the computer version of Australian Design Group classic board game. World In Flames is a highly detailed game covering the both Europe and Pacific Theaters of Operations during World War II. If you want grand strategy this game is for you.
Ah, if only the game were to allow all the Project 23 (16x Soyus-class) battleships to be built.
Soyus-class battleship
Displacement:
59,150t (58,220 long tons) (standard)
65,150t (64,120 long tons) (full load)
The bigger they are, the faster they sink!
Allegedly it was once reported to Admiral Cunningham that an opposing and defeated Italian Admiral had kept a copy of the 'Life of Nelson' by his bedside.
Cunningham - "Hmmm..Evidently he never read it."
I never did either so maybe you should enter the Med & have a party(says the octopus to the shrimp)! [:'(]
Germany's unforgivable crime before the Second World War was her attempt to extricate her economy from the world's trading system and to create her own exchange mechanism which would deny world finance its opportunity to profit.

We did - but you wouldn't party, you kept running away - Calabria, Spartivento, Sirte, Matapan etc etc.
Oh we're running away & chickening out & our liver is bad & our spleen is no good, cuz hes brave, brave Sir Warspite1!! Hes brave, brave Sir Warspite!

But Capo del SLAAKMAN that is not a Sovetsky Soyuz class battleship it only has 2 guns in the main turrets not 3.
The Glorious Russian people invented triple turrets on ships.
Is the photograph in your post # 13 of the Novorossiysk?.
Silly Extraneous-Newblette that is a photo of the Commie State Bucket- Ka-Sunkovinto-Drinkov. Her fate is only a shadow of the glory to come if only Warspite1 will stop cowering behind the outhouse & load up vasselengine for an adhoc attack!! On your feet soldat!
All your battleships belong to us.
(All your women will belong to me). [:D]

1) Japan, Italy, Russia, CW, Germany, USA, China, France
Japan because you have to do land-air-sea ops and you have a plethora of strategic choices. The CW has the same, but Japan has a bit less room for error. Italy also must make choices very carefully. I rank Russia higher than CW because it is an incredible challenge to survive Barbarossa, and if you do, the Red Army on the attack is an awesome thing to command.
2) The key to playing World in Flames, for either side, is the ability to be satisfied building a good defense. There is no perfect defense. Your units get removed from the board. Get over it. If you can only feel satisfied in wargaming by winning a land combat as the attacker, even when you are strategically on the defensive, you will never do very well playing World in Flames. Sometimes you have to hunker down and play solid defense. This is true of every Major Power in the game. But this is where a great many players fail, lose the game several times, and move on to some other game.
3) The survival rate of Russia in Barbarossa is too variable to put a % on. Perhaps the bigger variable is the skill of the CW & US players....
4) Going slow in China is certainly a valid Japanese strategy. The winner of 2 turns of delayed entry for the USA is ... Germany. But so many Axis players find all of their glory in the attack (see item #1 above), and they ignore the implications of US Entry. These are the ones who tend to cry their way through 1944 about how unfair the game is.

Comrade Capo del SLAAKMAN those are not women those are solders.
Of the top 10 snipers of World War II number four was a Fin the rest were Soviets.
Silly Extraneous-Newblette, of course theyre women. Theyve been converted to Slaaknarchism & now serve in my Special Seduction Auxillary Korps to destroy evil Marxist spies, saboteurs & provocateurs. Roza Shanina, the Julie Christie doppelganger in the first photo is my own personal "adjutant" who stokes my fire with Cognac & Vigor on a nightly basis.

my experiences tell me that people that have won a legendary victory in WIF. have been legendary cheaters
I have seen it all, people placing to many BP on the circle .. (after the calculation he had 100 BP to much on the circle[:@])
people placing naval units on map after first visited to the production circle..
people placing units directly on the map. (you calculate a attack, and next time you look at the maps, a AT-gun and a armoured corps, have suddenly appeared in that hex)

moving units to far, ignoring supply
cheating on dice rolls.
You mustve been playing actual Communist Party Apparatchiks. They want to win using any means possible. Sure wish I couldve been there to bust them!

Location of the Warspite1 Task Force is still unknown. Time is fleeting:
In the imortal words of the Church of the SubGenius.
Give me SLACK, or give me food!
