Game opponents wanted! Posted on 22 Sep 20:08 , 73 comments
Updated: 12 Dec 2019
Note: Please ensure you include your email in your post if you would like potential partners and opponents to contact you.
Now that we are getting the old band back together by the release of the world’s most amazing boardgame and the excitement that is generating amongst the wif community, now’s a good time as any to set up an opponent’s wanted blog where you can leave your name and email (and city if you want) so that others can contact you about starting a game near you.
The official World in Flames Collector’s edition Vassal module is now available so you don't need to just limit to your geographical region.
Please post below if you are interested in a game. You may be surprised how close the nearest wiffer is.
We also have our official adg facebook page, two World in Flames conventions each year (one in the USA, one in Germany) as well as other facebook communities and the iodiscussion group which are all available on our links page.
For those interested in finding 7 Ages opponents, feel free to also put your details in the comments below but please mention that you are interested in 7 Ages, rather than World in Flames.
Thanks for your awesome support for our games.
Regards
harry

Greetings, I am interested in getting back into WIF online or ftf.
For ftf I live in Palm Bay Florida. I am retired now so have time.
For online I would ask that someone send me the appropriate links I can download.
I am a longtime gamer and have played several of the earliest versions of WIF, but nothing since the late 90’s.
I currently play ASL online regularly but WIF had always been my favorite and being retired provides me the time to dig back into this fantastic game.
Appreciate anyone’s help!!

I would like to hear if anyone does this at MonsterCon or any of the Cons on the East Coast? Is there enough time to hope to play it in a week of concentrated effort? I have not yet had the opportunity to play, looking for opponents in the Fredericksburg, VA area.

Any players in the Panama City Florida Area, (in the Florida Panhandle). You would be getting a newbie but I would be willing to learn. I have several editions of the game. I could not find the editions I had in the catalog, but I do have the deluxe version. Let me know if anyone is here. Been looking for FTF opponents for 20+ years in anything, have a very large game collection, for the most part all unplayed. Have found no opponents in any wargames, nor with the patience to learn despite slight interest. Thanks, ADG has made a great game, and I would really like to play it FTF.
Thanks
Bob

Fun game, the addition of a simpler combat system would be a plus although large battles don’t take place all that often. People are usually reluctant to attack large stacks.
1) Get rid of the silly joke name for the cards. This is a historical game, keep it historical. Cards like “It was an accident officer, honest” are only funny once. Can easily be given a historical name like Ḥashashiyan.
2) Timing of responses to cards needs to be clarified. In what order does it happen, do effects stack like in Magic (last card played gets resolved first). One idea is to give cards # with lower numbers getting resolved first (works for War of the Ring).
3) Arabs should not be +0 setup in age 6 & 7!
I may be willing to help playtest. I have mostly played the game on Vassal but just finished a long 5p face to face game.

Kenneth Lee on
We have a group of players in northeast Pennsylvania (near Scranton) that has recently started getting together on a weekly basis. If you live near by and are interested let me know.
Also, our group is currently on hiatus pending the subsidence of the Covid-19 pandemic. As such, I have been looking at the WiF Vassal module and am wondering:
1) Is it worthwhile using the module to play real time.
2) Is there anyone interested in playing live via Vassal (weekdays during the day are best for me)
You can respond by emailing me at kennethelee55@gmail.com

Hello to all. I’m looking for an online game via VASSAL, for the CE version. While I am of course interested in play for its own sake, I am primarily looking for something to help me prepare for WiFCON in August, so I’m hoping to focus on Eastern Front stuff a bit more than normal and ideally to do long bursts of play, help get ready for those 15 hour play cycles.
Of course, I realize this is probably not to everyone’s liking, and I’m listing an ideal, I’m perfectly willing to play in almost all circumstances. I am quite flexible about play time, as long as it’s something consistent and not during work hours; I live in EST U.S.A. If you wish to contact me, please message me at Ajjkent@gmail.com
Best wishes to all.

Chris Rapert on
I’m looking for Wif players around the Ann Arbor, Detroit, Lansing, or Kalamazoo areas of Michigan.
I live 15 miles west of Ann Arbor, MI and Can host a game in a large dedicated Wif room in my house.
Northern Ohio and northern Indiana are only about an hour away from my place so players from these areas are very welcome too.
I own 2 or 3 complete copies of WIF so my game can be used. I am willing to buy a new game if needed.
Thank you,
Chris

Chanel STEVENS on
Hello,
Terry O’Leary myself and occasional other old farts, play very slowly face to face every week in Bristol, UK. In a lovely dedicated map room. Currently we usually play all day on a Tues. 9.30am – 10 pm. Although we could swap for another’s convenience. Lunch and dinner provided (but only at the expense of a really decent bottle of plonk as Terry is a wine snob). Whereas I just stir the antifreeze. We sometimes throw in a weekend now and again just to increase the intake of Beer and Vodka. Looking for volunteers. We are off to Hofgeismer again this year.
Cheers

For the midwesterners (George, Phil, James),
I currently travel into Waukesha once a month (second Saturday of the month). We have a WiF campaign going with a full count of players right now (RAW7). There will be a second game starting in Madison within the next three months. Not sure how many players are in that one yet.
I would be interested in doing something closer to Chicago at that rate or higher, and I would be also willing to travel into Wisconsin for another game. There may be table space to set up another game in Waukesha. If interested on details, hit me up via email, at kaspar.mike (at) gmail.com

Don Harris on
Always looking for players. Australian eastern daylight saving time zone (Sydney, etc) may not suit many, but it is there. We currently play using a vassal module, one I have developed. email, donsgeneralstuff@exemail.com.au There are currently 2 games being played, one by 6 players and the 2nd by 5 players. For the latter one player is from Vietnam. I do not think either play group would accept a new player at this stage – both are in 40/41 stage (perhaps 42 for the game I’m not playing), Send me an email. I also need a HIGH level of confidence with you. The vassal module (ATM) has certain restrictions applicable.,

I have played a bit of WiF (20 years or so) and am looking to get into a face-to-face game once RAW8 is out and about. I live in Appleton, WI, and could host if needed. It’s a bit of a trip, so we might need to be creative in how we set it up. Feel free to email me philliprehberger-at-yahoo.com if you like.

We have a small group in San Diego and are actively looking for people to play. What can I say WIF players are the elite of the elites. Coming across WIF players is is always great, coming across great local WIF players can be a onece in a life time find. Looking forward to playing at a WIF CON and to playing in the greater San Diego SOCAL area.
Feel free to email if so inclined, best Frank
