In the tumultuous era surrounding World War II, strategic adaptability is key to survival. The latest expansion for Hearts of Iron IV, titled “Arms Against Tyranny,” invites players to navigate the treacherous landscape of Northern Europe. With a focus on the nations of Scandinavia and Finland, this immersive expansion delves into alternate histories and introduces new armament developments that can tip the scales of war.
Hearts of Iron IV: Arms Against Tyranny, an immersion pack developed by Paradox Interactive, enriches the grand strategy wargame experience by offering players an opportunity to engage with the Winter War and Finland’s heroic resistance against Soviet invasion. This expansion unveils National Focus Trees specific to Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, each presenting unique challenges and historical possibilities.
As players assume the role of democratic Finland, they must deftly navigate diplomatic tightropes, choosing between building a formidable defensive army or seeking collaboration with neighboring tyrannical powers.
