Are you really, really telling me that you think that they are the same type of strategy games LCJr? I'm really sorry if you can't see the difference - I just thought you were taking the absolute piss.
Ok, erm, in Ck and Vicky you win via prestige. It's a way of winning which rewards both war-making and peaceful solutions. In Ck and Vicky, though Paradox may try to be as accurate as possible, there is no pretence they are 100% historically accurate. And gamers attracted to those prestige type of games do not tend to care about historical accuracy.
HoI is different. In HoI, you fight a war and you win by winning that war. Nothing you do will alter the fact that you have to fight the war to win the game. It's a war simulator. And it's specifically marketed as such and to gamers who want a reasonable facsimile of WW2 not a game of risk.
edit: my sincerest apologies if I've taken you at totally the wrong meaning LCJr.
