Making History: The Calm & the Storm

MAKING HISTORY: The Calm and the Storm is a true grand strategy game
that puts players in control of global conflict, combining a highly
sophisticated AI with rich historical detail. The game is unique among
World War II games in the way it challenges gamers to achieve economic
and diplomatic victory, not just military success.

The fate of that nation is entirely in your hands as the world melts
into chaos and global conflict. With behavioral models of over 70
countries Making History is a totally new approach to strategy games,
where brain cells are as important as bullets.


Lush 3-D Game Space: A giant step beyond the typical grid and hex maps
of strategy games. Maps, military forces and cities are realistically
modeled and textured, and they animate to show action.

Effortless navigation: PlayerÆs console provides one-click access to all
critical information and action areas: economic status; natural
resources and production capacity; military units; diplomatic
agreements; game score summary; comparison to real history; and more.

Deep Regional Detail: Every country is richly detailed with its major
industrial, civilian and military resources. Regional terrain and
geopolitical features are rendered in true-to-life form and they change
shape based on actions in the game. In total, MH2 provides over 800 land
and sea regions.

Extensive Economic Models: Extremely detailed and dynamic economic
models, more than any other video game. Makes the MH2 a true challenge
of global leadership, not just a test of military might.

"What if" Scenarios: Tremendous historical detail and sophisticated AI
lets you take your shot at fame (or infamy). MH2 lets you plan û and
replay û historic moments of WWII as the leader of France, England,
Germany, Italy, USSR, Japan or the United States.

Multi-Turn Combat: Innovative combat system allows many approaches to
engagements from massive assaults to holding actions. Supplies,
reinforcements and geography all play into your battle plan.

Flexible Victory Conditions: Players determine what victory is for each
game, selecting from: Win as an individual country, as an Alliance, or
as an Ideological group.

Simultaneous Turns: Allows all players to make their turns without
waiting for anyone else.

Country as Character: Each of the playable nations is designed with the
unique "personality" and physical assets it possessed in World War II.
Unlike other war games, players do not play the Axis or the Allies; they
play a specific country and write their own history of the war based on
how they lead that nation.
