    FEATURES

    Making History: The Calm & the Storm Gold Edition is a turn-based strategy game in which players apply their strategic skills to forge the fate of their chosen nation during a time of looming crisis.

    Game Experience:
    The game experience of MAKING HISTORY® will appeal to strategy players who enjoy open-ended games like Axis & Allies® and Civilization®.  The goal of the game is not to replay history as it happened, but to make your own.  Historical starting points for each scenario set the scene; and from there players experience completely open-ended, dynamic gameplay.   Virtually any country is playable across a variety of the bundled scenarios included in the Gold Edition. 

    Game Mechanics
    Over 80 playable nations presents unique challenges based on political character, economic power, military strength, and geography.  Use diplomacy to forge alliances, declare war and negotiate peace.  A dynamic world market allows players to buy and sell vital resources, offer foreign aid, or embargo other nations to further their own strategy.  Research investments produce military and technological advancements that can mean the difference between victory and defeat in battle.  Sophisticated systems offer challenging single player gameplay.  Up to eight players can compete in multiplayer games.

    Community Driven
    Players have access to the MAKING HISTORY Gaming Headquarters (GHQ).  This community resource may be found at www.making-history.com .  Players can participate in our community forum, download and play lots of free user-created content, or upload their own modified scenarios.  Many of the best suggestions from members of the MAKING HISTORY® community have been incorporated into the Gold Edition.

    New Gold Edition features

    • "The Rise of the Reich", a new longer scenario focusing Germany's rise to power.
    • Expanded combat unit abilities. 
    • More research projects 
    • Partisan fighters can seize control of occupied regions

    This game isn't spectacular. As far as WWII games go it's interesting but it's a little to involved with development and supply as opposed to other fun aspects like war and diplomacy. It's a different take on a WWII strategy game but it's just not my cup of tea and certainly not one of those classics that I know I'll return to again and again. Worth a look but don't be prepared to be blown away.

    If Hearts of Iron is too difficult to get into, this is the game for you! This is a much lighter and easier game to get into HOI2 and a good start to get into much depper games. I found it quite fun, but after a while I just wanted to get back into HOI2, it just lacks that long lasting depth you need to keep you playing strategy games.

    NOT realistic as HoI. NOT as complex as HoI. YES, much more fun game IMO. Just because it is more simple than HoI it doesn't mean it is a simple game. It is a good deep strategy game that is turn based as such huge games should be (hint hint, wink wink) You can take any of the countries available in the game and just do as you wish. The AI will not follow what happened in real life. So, it doesn't mean that Germany will declare war on Poland, etc. You are free to do so (and so is the AI) whatever you feel is better for your country without much bounded to historical events. Great game.

    Not a good game, cannot be even compared with the Hearts of Iron series from Paradox who already played HoI must know what is good and what is not! HoI is far better more realistic and historic, also have one of the best gameplays ever seen for strategic games.

    This is an awesome game for anybody who appreciates boardgames, like Axis and Allies, but don't have the social manpower. It is a one of a kind PC board game, that will keep you occupied in the cold months of winter, or anytime you want to annihilate some hours of your precious life. Be warned, this is addictive...
