In contrast to previous installments in the Hearts of Iron series, the game was to be set in the Cold War era, and not focus mainly on large-scale warfare. West, like many of its predecessors in the Hearts of Iron series, would have allowed the player to take control of and manage a country, including its political, diplomatic, espionage, economic, military, and technological aspects. West was not an expansion for Hearts of Iron III, but rather intended as a standalone game.
