New Asia-Pacific Themed Expansion Leads of Hearts of Iron IV Expansion Pass

Before the war exploded in Europe, Asia had been fighting aggression for two years. Japan’s efforts to build an empire in China and the neighboring countries led to a prolonged war of attrition that would topple regimes across the region.

No Compromise, No Surrender is a new expansion pack for Hearts of Iron IV, Paradox Interactive’s best-selling grand strategy wargame set in the years around World War II.
