"What if"...... one of the most asked questions throughout history!
What if Germany hadn’t invaded the Soviet Union in 1941?
What if the Allies had lost the Battle of Britain?
What if there was no lend-lease act from the United States?
Join us as we explore an alternative Second World War, where we examine all the possible “what if scenarios” — creating a counterfactual history that spans the entire war.
To bring this to life, we have set up a Historical Wargame in which 30 participants take on the roles of leading the countries in the conflict. They will control war industries, make doctrinal and research decisions, and control the armed forces of the respective nations and see if their alternative strategy would have worked in this alternative reality
We will go though the entire war, one theatre at the time and answer the question...What if!

What if Japan took a completely different path in WW2? They still join the Axis side of the war, but instead focus all their energy on breaking the back of British Raj (India)? Ignoring the US and Hawaii and striking West instead?
In our fourth episode of Wargaming History, we compare how our epic wargame plays out an alternative historical scenario of world war 2. This is the continuation of the first season where we previously covered the North African Campaign (episode 1), Operation Barbarossa (episode 2), The Battle of Greece (episode 3).
---During the fall of 2025 we had 30 players in two houses on the west coast of Sweden, playing a historical timeline WW2 HOI4 scenario over the course of a full day. In this vodcast series we analyze the outcome of that wargame with historical outcomes---
