I dont say they werent usefull. My point is that they have not much place in modern combat as long as there is any enemy presence in the air.

Austria's colour definitely needs changing. Saying that it doesn't exist very long is a poor answer.
And I'm sad to see the 1940 scenario has gone - I was looking forward to jumping right in as France.
Nice info I guess, but generally negative changes, IMO.
I prefer starting in -38 or -39 as France. May 1940 setup for France would be too hard
Love the choices for Scenarios! Especially 1943 sounds great (multiplayer here we come)
If any of them changes colours, I'd rather have Yugo back to orange, than changing Austria
Austria should be white. Have you people never heard of the "The Great White Blob" ?
I basically always played the 1936 GC in HoI2, and probably will do so in HoI3.
Still, I think the other scenario points are well chosen for players who like to start the game at a later time point.
EDIT: Baneslave's correction. Oops

Still nothing about "Options" is it... Hmmm, well I hope that one can chose to change the options to and from "AI Control" as the game goes on.
same here, i like to start with early scenarios with building my country from the ground up, i am really looking forward to check the new features and customization options that have been added.
thou eventually i will probably end up playing a mod like MOD34, since Paradox focus on the war aspect of the game neglecting the home front build up.
to bad that the 1940 and 1942 sceanrios are gone. But its fine with the basic start dates.
I am not so sad about no battlescenarios.but I would like to know,will it still be possible to black out a province?
Random question, but I noticed how you said area around Moscow in winter and that made me think. I can't say I've played HOI, but in HOI2, really the only areas of the earth that had weather seemed to be parts of Europe and Russia ... I was wondering if weather (I'm talking the whole range, snow, rain, etc) will be truly global, so that it is always a factor throughout the game, from the Pacific to the Russian steppe?
IMO the winter terrein should be 'more white'. Or is there any grade of winter and it colours - mild winter, harsh winter?
About what is technically feasible please see

Great that there is more scenarios, but 1942 is needed. I feel that it is the most "balanced" scenario where it still isnt too late for the Axis albeit very difficult.
Accurate feedback. Frankly, the scenarios always felt like a "poor man's HoI" the way they focused narrowly on a particular battle. I don't think anybody plays HoI just to recreate a particular battle, there are many games out there that already do that well. HoI's strength has always been that you fight any of its battles in the context of a world struggle. Even if I was interested only in a particular campaign - say Barbarossa - I always played it inside the full campaign because I wanted the feeeling that my actions were affecting the entire world and vice versa. The scenarios lacked that all-important context.
Much as I like all the new provinces for game play and fighting battles, I'm wondering if this won't be something of a 'nightmare' when it comes to the build-up stage in one's country?
If one wants to build factories in Germany in 1936, and you click on the "Provinces" button, instead of 25 odd entries, you may have 100. And God help the player from the Soviet Union or the USA who will probably have to scroll through 1000 possibilities, each with IC factories, resources, manpower, etc. Then on the detail screen of each province all of the above plus ports, AA batteries, Airfields, etc.
We got away from some serious micromanagement when the game engine was switched from HoI-1 to HoI-2, and I hope that this issue is addressed, either by regional or intelligent AI handling of builds and 'province' IC and infrastructure control.

Bug in map
Hello!
I am fan of HoI, HoI2 and all other your games. Recently was looking through Diaties of HoI3. Great!
But only now i noticed mistake in Russia
You have province "Obninak". It is totally wrong.
At first, it has gramma mistake: the city in that place calls "Obninsk".
But to have such province in game is incorrect in any way. Obninsk was build up only in 1954 year, became city in 1956!
It is totally true becase i am from Obninsk
Of couse, you can always check it out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obninsk
Please, rename this province to "Nara" or "Naro-Fominsk". This is old city, which was in this place on map from 1936 to 1964.

Thank you. Hope, this mistake will be corrected.
