How to play
Each year presents a real interwar dilemma in diplomacy and production. You weigh the nation's gauges and choose a response. You aren't scored on 'winning', you're scored on picking the soundest option for the time and on recognising what the real power actually did, with the engine replaying the real decade beside yours.
Each decision shifts the nation's gauges
Scoring rewards sound judgment and historical awareness, not conquest
The real decade plays out alongside your version for comparison
