Of course, you may not want to join any of the groups and go it alone. Having the Spanish on Hitler's side makes WWII much easier, while having America as part of the Allies in 1939 isn't going to be good news for Central Europe. Countries are aligned to one of these three philosophies, with Great Britain, Germany and the USSR heading up the Democratic, Fascist and Communist factions respectively.Īlthough the gang of three are irrevocably tied, other countnes can be brought round to your way of thinking. The game is a struggle between three 'ways of life' -Fascism, Communism and Democracy - with at least one destined for the graveyard. Britain stood alone against the Nazi menace (the French surrender-monkeys giving up in six weeks) and America was looking the other way, fingers in their ears going 'La la la, nothing to do with us.' Funny how things Change-Hearts Of Iron, a massively in-depth strategy game based around WWII gives you the chance to do things differently to how they really happened all those years ago. Sixty years ago things were very different. Today America is hell-bent on starting a war with Iraq and North Korea.
