East vs. West

So yeah, this game is very promising.

If you ever played Hearts of Iron, especially Hearts of Iron III you'll love this one.

Pick a country and guide it trough the Cold War, start in 1946 and end (if nukes won't stop you) in 1991.

The game is being developed by BL-Logic and Paradox Interactive is cooperating with them, BL-Logic brought us "Arsenal of Democracy".

It's a standalone, developed using the Clausewitz engine, the same used by CK2 - Vicky2 - EU3 - HoI3 and EU: Rome.

The game will attempt to recreate the tense situation during the cold war, the economy part of the game will be getting more attention than on HoI3, while keeping the well-made HoI III combat system.

What makes this game so exciting? the era, really. A lot of great nations to play, may you select Poland and try to break from the USSR? play as Britain and keep your colonies? play as North Korea and win the Korean War?, pick Rwanda?, a LOT of playable countries, a lot of ways to play your game, it is very rich in this aspect.

I'm going to play as Cuba for my first game and side with Fidel Castro once he overthrows Batista (not sure how is the Cuban Revolution going to work but...), and it will be multiplayer, my buddy will most likely select Argentina or the USSR, we can make a good alliance and so on.

Well it's all pretty much resumed here:
