The USA can field Patton, the Russians Zhukov and the German Reich can field Rommel. Within each faction are leaders and military commanders accurate to the time. There are a TON of nations in the global map.
In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if the team at Paradox nailed the facts and included every nation. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t play almost any country that existed at the time. There are seven superpowers in play: France, Japan, UK, USA, German Reich, Italy and the Soviet Union. Don’t worry, regardless of which timeline you choose to begin, you’ll have control of every aspect of your nation. If you’d rather get stuck in choose 1939 and get ready to rumble. The Blitzkrieg machine is poised on the Polish border and the Ribbentrop-Pact is in place. So, if you want to fully develop your ideal nation and play through a potentially alternate history start in 1936. This is because at the time the German Reich had undergone the Anschluss of Austria and consolidated its power in central Europe. If you choose the 1939 beginning your experience will be more likely focused on recruiting, supplying and organizing land, sea and air forces. The campaign begins with fewer alliances or wars and less World Tension. A 1936 start is more likely to lead to alternate versions of history. Much like Stalin and his 5 Year Plans in pre-war Soviet Union, you also need to have a plan to improve your nation. The focuses, research and production goals take at least 70 days. This is important because anything you research takes time. What’s the difference? A 1936 start is suited for players whom wish to be involved in laying the groundwork for their armed forces, war plans, factories, research and diplomacy. You can choose to begin the campaign in either 1936 or 1938.
During the campaign you will focus on pre-war and wartime strategies. Hearts of Iron IV (HOI IV) is the next iteration in Paradox Studio’s game Hearts of Iron series (Hearts of Iron III was released in 2009).
