Making History: The Calm and the Storm is a turn-based strategy for a PC set in the realities of the Second World War, developed by Muzzylane Software and published by Strategy First.
This true grand strategy game places you as the leader of a country where you use your strategic skills to make policy decisions which affect the outcome of world history. Each scenario establishes a historically accurate situation; from there on in history is in your hands. Do you build to a position of strength through industry or military, or can you find an optimum balance of both?
