Specially if it doesn’t use imperialist language to contextualize my communist actions :)

I did take a look into the Cold War mod for HoI IV but the reactionary language in every focus and events for the DPRK is tiring after a while.

    I did play and enjoy Ostalgie (even learned a bit of history in the process), but they are mostly political simulators, you can’t really kick the US in the balls, just resist and thrive.

      Ostalgie is indeed mostly about surviving or preventing the collapse of the socialist block (and Collapse: A Political Simulator is about the aftermath of the collapse), but in crisis of the kremlin, although very difficult, you can bring forth the collapse of the US. (I still don’t really play it, because I find the game difficult to understand and some things seemingly make no sense, that’s why I anxiously await the sequel). I still haven’t looked at China’s: Mao’s Legacy (as I think I should study the subject some more before trying it), so I don’t know how much you can kick the US in the balls with the DLC.

      But yeah none of those games are grand-strategy wargames.
