A while ago we met up with the guys and galls from Paradox Interactive, the team behind the Military Strategy Game Hearts of Iron IV. And though we are working in two very different fields, us in reporting on factual history and they in creating your own alternative history, we really like each others work and started looking for a way to work together. Here it is, an alternative scenario with deep roots in actual history, illustrated by the Hearts of Iron IV game. We have played it ourselves, and it is impressively extensive – featuring many characters and events that we talk about every week. If you haven't discovered HOI4 yet, or if you want to find out more about their upcoming expansion pack 'La Résistance'.

Pearl Harbor is one of the major events of 1941 and World War Two, bringing America into the war and changing history for ever. We want to do it justice by going there with boots on the ground, and by covering it minute-by-minute as it unfolds.
