The players take part of a big historical event, like WW2. Although they cannot change the issue of the war, what happens to them and their individual fates is entirely in their power.
Would you consider this railroading or have the players keep their agency, just they have little agency on the world itself?
@ninoles It a player decided to shoot at the sun would you say they lacked agency because they couldn't kill it?
Railroading is when players lack agency. Not being able to stop a world war from being waged (or single handedly winning it) is no more railroading than not being able to shoot out the sun.
