I happened to stumble on Matrix Games' website the other day and noted that an upcoming title is a computer remake of the boardgame classic "World in Flames", which is a simulation of WWII.

I owned the game for a short while in the twilight of my board gaming career. I never got around to playing it much, but I did set it up once or twice and play a few turns and I thought it was a pretty interesting design, although somewhat marred by the amount of "housekeeping" one had to do. I also remember thinking it would make an ideal subject for a computer game, where much of the housekeeping could be automated.

Consequently I'm quite excited to hear it's finally making the transition to the PC.

Has anyone here had more experience with the board game, and if so what did you think of it?
