A new "Making History: The Calm and The Storm" demo has been released, giving players a chance to try out version 2.01 of the turn-based strategy game by Muzzy Lane Software.

"A next step for strategy games. Making History® delivers the open-ended gameplay of strategy-game classics, but with compelling new economic, military, and diplomatic systems and deep research that lets you play with real historical challenges.

The game drops you into a rich WWII world where every nation has its own agenda, and where events can turn on a single alliance. Work with your nation’s historic strengths and weaknesses. Build up your industry, infrastructure, economy, military. Create alliances. Then reshape your strategy as the world evolves with each turn."

The 277MB demo can be downloaded from FileFront, Gamer's Hell, Strategy Informer, VGPro, or Worthplaying.
