What if Japan took a completely different path in WW2? They still join the Axis side of the war, but instead focus all their energy on breaking the back of British Raj (India)? Ignoring the US and Hawaii and striking West instead? In our fourth episode of Wargaming History, we compare how our epic wargame plays out an alternative historical scenario of world war 2. This is the continuation of the first season where we previously covered the North African Campaign (episode 1), Operation Barbarossa (episode 2), The Battle of Greece (episode 3). ---During the fall of 2025 we had 30 players in two houses on the west coast of Sweden, playing a historical timeline WW2 HOI4 scenario over the course of a full day. In this vodcast series we analyze the outcome of that wargame with historical outcomes--- Join us for one hour of ww2 alt history. Naval landings, naval battles, grand strategy and much more!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
