Gathering Storm does for GMT&s A World at War what Days of Decision did for ADG&s World in Flames It allows players to simulate the diplomatic economic & political maneuverings that preceded the Second World War either as a stand alone game or as an expansion for A World at War (Unlike Days of Decision Gathering Storm covers only the European events leading to war) Gathering Storm both a game in its own right & a prequel to GMT’s A World at War covers the period from 1935 to the outbreak of World War II whenever that might be Like A World at War Gathering Storm simulates the military economic political diplomatic research & production preparations for the Second World War allowing the players to explore what might have happened if

- YOU had been in command Gathering Storm can be played as a separate game in a single session with its own victory conditions but A World at War players will want to press on & see how the war they have created plays out While using different mechanics Gathering Storm&s structure is consistent with A World at War & allows for a seamless transition to whatever alternate war the players planned – or stumbled into Some 30 years in development with three years of design & playtesting Gathering Storm
