** Which leads to a bit of [[Fridge Horror]]. Every action you take has the possibility to irreversibly change world history, for better or for worse. Say for instance, you are playing ''Napoleon'' as the British, and you lose your fleet. This causes a chain reaction of events. France then invades Britain, which no longer has a fleet to defend it.
