Carefully manage your industrial capacity, research new technologies, construct factories and infrastructure, and allocate resources to wage war effectively.

Extensively customize division templates with various brigade types and support companies, allowing for highly specialized and effective combat units. Coordinate air superiority, naval invasions, encirclements, and combined arms attacks - thoughtful, planned offensives are rewarded over brute force, creating an engaging and dynamic military simulation.

❤ Diplomacy and Politics

Influence your country's ideological leanings, form alliances and factions, and engage in covert operations to undermine or support other nations.

Pursue alternate historical paths, such as a communist or fascist takeover, to further expand the game's replayability and strategic depth.

While the base game offers a wealth of content and challenges, the community has contributed significantly to the game's longevity and appeal. The AI has seen steady improvements, providing a more convincing and challenging opponent.
