Destiny of the World

Destiny of the World is a deep WWII grand strategy simulation built for serious players but presented clearly enough for anyone ready to think like a theater commander.
Unlike many grand strategy games where logistics are abstracted, Destiny of the World makes sustainment a central battlefield. Front-line success depends on production throughput, convoy protection, depot flow, and maintaining unit readiness across multiple theaters.
Every turn represents one week. You and the AI plot orders simultaneously. These orders are then resolved simultaneously. Plans collide, offensives get disrupted, and surprise contact creates real operational friction.
Command one of eight major powers or the complete Allies or Axis Command.
Run the entire war effort: military operations, production, research, trade, diplomacy, and espionage. Follow history, bend it, or break it.
Logistics are critical: supply and fuel move through capital/depot networks, convoy capacity is finite, sea lanes can be interdicted, and readiness and sustainment matter as much as firepower.
