Editing The World Wars (section)

==World War inspired Games, Factions and Settings==
* A lot of stuff from the [[Imperium of Man]], especially the [[Death Korps of Krieg]], the [[Armageddon Steel Legion]], and the [[Valhallan Ice Warriors]].
* [[Dieselpunk]] is the WWII equivalent of [[Steampunk]]. If you like the general aesthetics and mood of the time period but don’t want to be limited by the period’s technology, or perhaps want to see what would happen if the Nazi “Wunderwaffen” had been fully realized, this is the setting for you.
* [[Bolt Action]], [[Flames of War]], and other similar military tabletop games are set in WWII.
* [[Star Wars]] takes a great deal of inspiration from this time period, and in regards to the prequels, it especially takes a lot of inspiration from the transformation of the democratic-but-ineffectual Weimar Republic into the nightmarishly totalitarian Third Reich (though it was also influenced by the transition from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire).
* [[Wolfenstein]], both the classic and reboot settings, are focused on fighting the Nazis and their Wunderwaffen. WWII gets dragged on by many decades thanks to some crazy antics including transdimensional portals, spacebases on Venus, etc.
* Indiana Jones. Do we need to explain this?
* The 1920+ universe, inspired by the art of Jakub Rozalski, envisions an alternate Europe where Nikola Tesla’s super science lead to the development of Mechs as the dominant war machine. Best known for the RTS game “Iron Harvest” that pits Imperial Germany, Poland, and Russia that's in the middle of transitioning from Imperial to Soviet, in a version of WWI with WWII elements mixed in. Even Rasputin makes an appearance as the leader of a shadowy cabal looking to seize power by fomenting revolution in all three factions and take over Tesla’s super-advanced city-state. America also makes an appearance as a major air power, favoring battleship blimps and other wacky aircraft, in a campaign very reminiscent of Laurence of Arabia.
* Never Going Home is a fairly new RPG system that takes place from 1916-1918 where fighting in the Somme ripped open a goddamn hole in reality, and now eldritch beings are whispering in the ears of soldiers and telling them how to summon demons powered by the general misery caused by the conditions of trench warfare. Fun times!
