In the end, this just doesn't kick up enough of a storm to stand out. 2x3's World At War is a similar (and better) turn-based WWII grand strategy sim, and Paradox's Hearts Of Iron does it all in real-time. Making History is a decent bit of strategy, but it's hardly treading new ground. As for combat, it's unsatisfying, being a matter of throwing everything you can muster into a disputed territory and observing turn on turn as the sides whittle each other down. The interface is streamlined, even if managing all that production and research can feel a little like doing work experience at an accountant's office. It is set during WWI, and features all WWI era countries, new units, new 3D models, over 30 new cities, a new technology tree and more.

More Making History: The Calm & The Storm Mods This mod from Odanan is a total conversion. What's interesting is that once the game starts, pretty much anyone can gang up with anyone, meaning the war can pan out differently to history. Not that this is anything like Risk, as you have to manage everything from transport infrastructure to weapons research, as well as making alliances galore. Like a huge game of Risk, it divides the world up into territories, around which you shunt your armies, navies and air groups, combat kicking off sporadically.
