What I need to do is some serious reading, some careful planning on what my vision for the United States should be in 1936. Not because I'm sick of it quite the contrary, in fact. “For now, after many dozens of hours, I'm taking a break from Hearts of Iron 4. But I have never played anything like Hearts of Iron 4” There are other great strategic-level wargames out there.
“It captivates me because-imperfectly, impressionistically, and perhaps a little amorally-it lets me orchestrate the most titanic armed struggles in history, from the fussy economic details to the cut-and-thrust of mechanized warfare. “Hearts of Iron 4 wields complexity like a swift armor division during the blitzkrieg, allowing it to serve the idea of layered, cerebral, strategic warfare instead of letting it needlessly bog down the experience.”
