World at War

Hinge of Fate is primarily meant to examine the strategic alternative history possibilities inherent in the campaign that could’ve occurred within Poland and the Rhineland in September 1939 if the French had resolved to keep their promise to launch a “major offensive” into Germany within a week after that nation invaded Poland. The action in that scenario is fought on two maps, East and West, and also allows for the possibility of a last-minute change of side by Stalin. It can be played by two, ... (vollständige Beschreibung)

Best estimates today have it that the war in Europe most likely would have continued for about 24 months after February 1944 had it not been for the cumulative effects of the Allied strategic aerial offensive against the Germans. That means the war was most likely shortened somewhere between 13 and 15 months by the effects of that campaign. We say "most likely" and "somewhere between" because we can't be more certain. That is, starting at the end of 1944, the Western Allied and Soviet ground adv... (vollständige Beschreibung)

The conjectured departure from the historic timeline that resulted in the design of this game is assumed to have taken place in mid-September 1939. At that time, as his forces are completing the conquest of Poland, Hitler receives a flash of intuition. That is, he can’t help but notice the strategic paralysis of the Anglo-French, who do nothing to try to prevent the downfall of their fast-disappearing eastern ally Poland. From that he concludes it would be a waste of time to redeploy the Wehrmac... (vollständige Beschreibung)
