Kalterkrieg: A New Dawn for Hearts of Iron IV

Step into a world irrevocably changed. The year is 1948, and the echoes of the Second Weltkrieg still reverberate across the globe. While some nations lie in ruins, others have emerged from the crucible of conflict stronger, forging new alliances and ideologies. The old order has crumbled, replaced by a tense geopolitical landscape where the seeds of future conflicts are already being sown. This is the premise of Kalterkrieg, a total conversion mod for Hearts of Iron IV that plunges you into a compelling alternate timeline.

Ideals will clash, and only the strategically astute will survive this era of crowns and atoms.
