I am a massive fan of the mod, currently up to 1986 in game, having fun running BHOTWG at the moment 😀
I think it is a fantastic mod for people who like to build up their own history because around 1977 is when things started to get interesting in the USA and Japan. The other plus of playing in this period is also the fact that the talent pool is smaller, so the game plays much faster, but you still have enough good talent to have fun.
