Description

From the convoy attacks in the Battle of the Atlantic to the fierce carrier battles on the Pacific front, the Second World War saw naval innovation in both tactics and technology. The war at sea takes center stage in Hearts of Iron IV: Man the Guns, a new expansion to Paradox Development Studio’s popular strategy wargame.

Design your own ships and refit older models. Alter your convoy routes to avoid hungry wolf packs. Embrace or circumvent naval treaties and deal with the diplomatic consequences.

Man the Guns also introduces new alternate history paths for the major democracies of the war and gives the freedom loving nations of the world more freedom to act before the war forces their hand.

Everyone crying about paradox making making the dlc free is absurd. This is 6 years old dlc and they make it free after this time so new people buying the game will pay little bit less. What is the deal with that? You

I’m genuinely disappointed with Paradox for making Man the Guns free after many of us paid full price for it — and then offering absolutely no compensation or acknowledgement to the players who supported the game early.

Those Swedish c0cksuckers at Paradox integrated this into the base game and didn't compensate anyone who bought it prior. Scum. Truck you Paradox.

Had it before it was made free and it's (hot take alert) okay for other people to not have to pay money for content. Everyone in this community needs to grow up. If you bought it recently, you can refund it; otherwise
