Defend Democracy - The Weimar Republic
This game simulates the democratically elected government of Germany's struggle to survive after a humiliating defeat during the First World War. The Weimar Republic did surprisingly well at holding off the twin threats of communism and fascism for a while. By the mid-1920s, it seemed like Germany would become a peaceful and prosperous democracy. See if you can keep Germany's economy on track, thus avoiding a communist revolution or a fascist coup. Good luck!

your game sucks
The leader of the SA was gay, working class (Hated the rich and wanted a revolution, and was a veteran nationalist.
So it is entirely possible that the nationalists could've been won over from the Nazis towards a more moderate political faction.
The game allows you to have arrests and purges, which could target some nationalists and win over others. Healthcare would also win over people like the leader of the SA, as would dividing the communists and socialists. (The socialists refused to take orders from Moscow and had closer ties to Germany).
Purging the military while you are offending the upper classes, could also mean purging the upper-class interests from the military. These are all options.
You made my night! Yes! Weimar Germany could have turned out differently! All your points are valid, but boiling down decades of very good scholarship into one game was always going to be a challenge.
Anyway, best response I've gotten yet. Thanks!
cool game
Thanks
