Hearts of Iron III is a grand strategy wargame developed by Paradox Development Studio and published by Paradox Interactive that is the sequel to the previous Hearts of Iron games. It was announced on August 20, 2008 and was released on August 7, 2009.[2]

A Mac OS X version was announced by Virtual Programming on December 7, 2009.[3] The game was available for purchase the same day.

Hearts of Iron III allows the player to take control of almost any nation that existed during the period of 1936–1948, guiding it through World War II.[4] A variety of decisions regarding the armed forces, production, research, diplomacy, politics and espionage is the focus of the game.

The game centers around three factions: the Axis (led by Germany), the Allies (led by Great Britain), and the Comintern (led by the Soviet Union). All other nations can slowly align with one of the factions. Nations are more likely to side with those with similar ideology, threat and proximity

Resources found in the game include: energy, metal, rare materials, and oil. The first three are required for industrial production, while oil is converted to fuel for vehicles, planes and ships.

The scope of military organization ranges from brigades to entire theaters of operation.

A great game! So huge and so complex. Once you figure out how to play it properly it becomes a total beast of a game.

"Gary Grigsby's War in the East" is better.
