I began playing this game a little while ago after Crisis in the Kremlin, which was one of my favourite games and I was just as happy exploring this game, which I think is another historical masterpiece. I would %100 recommend this game to any history nerds out there, keep up the good work Kremlin games, you guys deserve so much more recognition.

A pretty complete simulation game with an amazing number of outcomes. Always fun to play but tricky to master. Maybe more information / tutorials could help, the mechanics feel a bit overwhelming for beginners.

Although it's not the most polished game, its gameplay is quite fun and the music is great. The fact that each nation has unique events and you can steer it to many different paths makes the game very enjoyable and replayable. It also gives you a lot of context to the end of the cold war era, as the many events pushed me to research more about the fine details of the period. It's a really nice game if you're interested in the cold war and like strategy games.

This game is an Eastern European goldmine of funny moments and actual history, Here is a snippet of what you can do as wholesome big chungus Ceaușescu: -Build nuclear weapons right off the bat because you already have a nuke tech building -Save or kill Saddam Hussein in order to pressure iraq to join your new CMEA -Derail a train full of polish diplomats and western dignitaries in order to stop the poles from joining NATO -Threaten the Hungarians with the aforementioned nuclear weapons in order to stop them from leaving your new empi- i mean economic union -Deliberately let the USSR collapse as revenge for 1940, taking Bassarbia with you -Poison a Panamanian general in US custody to make the US look bad -Help Milošević remove kebab -Rig Greek elections to make sure that PAOK PASOK ELECTROSHOK wins -Start a forever war between Pakistan and India to stop the Pakis from supplying the Mujahideen -Tell Gorby to go fuck himself with his Perestroika and establish the Ceaușescu red dynasty -Condemn the PRC for Tianamen square then establish trade relations with Taiwan and the PRC a day later -Troll Deng Xioping and let the conservatives get power in order for China to join the new CMEA -Sell Nuclear Tech to the DPRK to pay off the massive loan you took to establish said new CMEA This is just one playthrough of this game as one country out of several. In the next one i'll probable kill Ceaușescu just to crown Mihai or just let Illiescu rule the country until his death in 2067, or i can play as another nation and see what cooky events they have. Game is filled with content and i want to see more P.S Gorby can die in Cuba because a monkey throws a coconut at his head. Ceaușescu/10
