All in all, HOI3 is a very viable buy. As I've no experience HOI I can't exactly comment. If you really really want to run the HOI2 engine, I'd actually recommend arsenal of democracy and darkest hour or something along those lines, I can't really remember the name atm sorry.
If you've got any questions I'd be happy to answer them or offer advice. Have fun!

I would love to do those long campaigns that start in '33 and end in '64. I think I'm going to get the first two in the pack for less and get the HoI3 Collection later. I have the HoI3 demo atm and I haven't finished 2 weeks of game time. It's hard to believe that there exists a game so complex. It's better to start at the bottom and work your way up I think. I'm sure that once I get HoI1, 2 or 3, I'll have loads of questions for you.
Right now, I'd be happy with General Hints/Strategies/Tactics/Help for starting as Germany on Sept. 1st, 1939.
