Hi guys…
For those of you who like strategy games this is a must have:
Hearts of Iron Doomsday
The most complete strategy game ever made, one can play the full campaign that spans from 1936 to 1953 or several minor ones including a U.S vs Russia clash.
You can play any nation on earth, although to start the best one is Germany, simply because it’s forces are more concentrated (unlike for example, the British), and your only problem, at first, in terms of suplies is oil. One has to have a good balance between attack, defence and consolidation. units experience, moral, upgrades, terrain and weather play a major role. Diplomacy also, specially in keeping the russian giant neutral long enough so that one can conquer England and close the western front, from there you can either attack the U.S. or turn your attention to the east, or the oil fields in persia.
I played also with Japan (weak), the U.S. (boring at first because they only start fighting in 1941, and you cannot declare war because your a democracy, but it’s fun rebuilding the army and air force from scratch), the british empire (need some experience in the game) and the russians (boring at first also because their industrial power is small and the rebuilding only starts for real after the “gearing up for war” event).
You can choose the leaders of each unit, this are not all available at the start and keep showing up each year according to the year they achieved the rank that alowed them to lead at least a division, you have to keep maritime suply routes to overseas territories and keep a pool of transports and escorts, you can spy on your enemies and friends, etc…and the list goes on.
The graphics are quite simple but the details of the game per se are great.
It’s a somewhat dificult game to master at first, but after that it’s months of fun with endless possibilities (Having the manual at hand it’s mandatory).
Try it out…
If someone knows this game give some feedback, tks.
Cheers
