KOCH Media is pleased to announce today the launch of Paradox Entertainment's global strategic war game, Hearts of Iron. Set during the entire Second World War global struggle, Hearts of Iron is the first ever PC game to truly give players the decisions that will change the course of history.

The game map spans the entire world and allows players to take the War to any new front of their choosing. Any nation in the world is playable, but the game focuses on the epic struggle between the great alliances of the new world orders Fascism, Communism and Democracy. Hearts of Iron is developed by the team behind the award winning sales success Europa Universalis I and II and brings the same super detail to a modern day gaming experience. Hearts of Iron aims to be no less than the definitive World War II strategic experience.

Hearts of Iron has already received much acclaim from specialist press, from both sides of the Atlantic. With reviews and advertising running in press during the end of February and early March, all 'Armchair Generals' will hear the call to action.
