The post WW2 era is one of fascinating potential for HoI as a whole, but the HoI engine can't handle the Cold War in a satisfying fashion, and PI doesn't seem to want to explore it much.
Hard to blame them, really, given all the permutations in what a postwar world could look like. That, plus after you've crushed the Third Reich, it's just not that much fun to sic your awesome war machine on, say, the Sandinistas. The brushfire conflicts typical of the era would just be an occasional war with a one-province country that's over in a month.
Ideally I'd still like to address that era somehow, but it would require such extensive modding HoI3 will probably be out before I could ever finish. Perhaps until HoI3 does come out, we're best off playing 'til the end of World War III and then going back to Ricky to write a whole new Southern epic.
Thanks for supporting my modding!
