    In our 2nd episode of Wargaming History, we compare the outcomes of Operation Barbarossa in our Historical Wargame versus real life History. During the fall of 2025 we had 30 players in two houses on the west coast of Sweden, playing a historical wargame over the course of a full weekend. In this vodcast series we analyze the outcome of that wargame with historical outcomes.What did our participant do differently? how did it play out? How many T34s and Panzer4's did they have by summer 41? How was the armies and air forces designed? Join us for WW2 nerdery and some laughs in our new vodcast format! :)

    "What if"...... one of the most asked questions throughout history!What if Germany hadn’t invaded the Soviet Union in 1941?What if the Allies had lost the Battle of Britain?What if there was no lend-lease act from the United States?Join us as we explore an alternative Second World War, where we examine all the possible “what if scenarios” — creating a counterfactual history that spans the entire war.To bring this to life, we have set up a Historical Wargame in which 30 participants take on the roles of leading the countries in the conflict. They will control war industries, make doctrinal and research decisions, and control the armed forces of the respective nations and see if their alternative strategy would have worked in this alternative realityWe will go though the entire war, one theatre at the time and answer the question...What if!
