Advanced Third Reich
"Empire of the Rising Sun" (1995) is a companion game, also developed by Bruce Harper, set in the Pacific Theater of Operations in World War II. "A3R" and "ERS" can be played separately or together in a "Global War" simulation, using rules that are part of the "ERS" package. By 1997 the development of a new version - originally entitled "Global War 2000" but eventually renamed "A World At War" - was underway ("Ultra" continued to be published online) and thereafter the original published version of "Advanced Third Reich" was referred to by aficionados as "classic". In 2003 GMT Games published a new Bruce Harper game, "A World at War" ("AWAW"), a substantially revamped, larger, and more complex version of the combined "A3R" and "ERS".
