== Further development of the game system ==

''[[Empire of the Rising Sun]]'' (1995) is a companion game, also developed by Bruce Harper, set in the [[Pacific Ocean theater of World War II|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''.
