Just bought HOI 3 Collection after reading all the AAR over there and that i started some time before practising a little bit with such games liek pride of nations.

Do you know if there are any nice manuals up there or perhaps mods that add even more accuracy to units and historical events? ( countries like japan/asian nations, or for countries like Italy and so on?)

Now have to confront myself on starting to learn the game thing that it takes quite some time

compared to the average game that i just need to press some buttons

Just caved in and bought Their Finest Hour. Seeing that it messed up my Russian play-through (seems it was not entirely save-compatible

)

Just had a short run as Germany, starting in Sept. 39. Quit when the game crashed after I accidentally declared war on the USSR (by guaranteeing Finland's independence -- I thought that when the Soviets invaded I would get an EU3 "do you want to honour your promise and declare war" dialogue box, but no, Germany declared war automatically, with all my panzers on the western front ready to invade France and only a token German defense force along the Soviet lines

).

I responded by lend-leasing the Finns 60 ICs, and they proceeded to run down the Russians stationed at the Mannerheim line for then to start marching into the Rodina

. I think I'll grow to like the LL system (and the new spy system), they truly open up a whole new level of indirect support, even though I worry that the LL system might be seriously overpowered in that any minor outpost can become a major powerhouse practically overnight. I like the ability to see historical battle plans outlaid on the map, too, helps me plan my invasions and will probably also be of huge help in any multiplayer matches I might engage in, too.

I swear, though, the mind****s this game lays down are just mindblowing. Such as British subs hunting German convoys ferrying supplies from Boston
