Hearts of Iron III 3

Victory At All Costs

Hearts of Iron III is a grand-scale strategy game designed by enthusiasts of World War II history, and focused on the military, political, economic and diplomatic interactions worldwide between 1936 - 1948. Every effort at maximizing both realism and playability has been made, and an excellent balance has been found.

It is the first strategy game of its type with a realistic supply system, which individually accounts for units of supply or fuel on its way to the units at the front, allowing interdiction of supply by the enemy, or interruption because of bottlenecks on muddy roads. The weather system is a detailed simulation just by itself, and the impact of weather is realized on the battlefield. An intricate system of research and development for new weapons will make a difference over time. There is much here for those who seek historical detail and accuracy.

It's time to take command and lead your nation through World War II, the largest conflict in world  history.  Hearts of Iron lets you take charge on any front, as any country, and through a variety of scenarios.  Guide your nation to glory from 1936 to 1948:  wage war on the battlefields, in the factories, and at the negotiating table, in the most detailed game based on World War II ever made.
