All Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!The experience of our ancestors, ever incentives and aids to virtue, would never
have inspired or saved a single soul, had not the loyalty, zeal, and diligence of writers
triumphing over sloth transmitted them to posterity. — John of Salisbury

Game Spec: HOI3 v2.03b at "Normal" difficulty. These are vanilla games and do not employ any mods or cheats (so strategies can be employed in multi-player). Saves were every six months. Run on AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processor 4800+964MHz 1.00GB
RAM; XP Pro v2002 SP3.
This guide is for both single-player and multi-player
Small country play has evolved in HOI3 to become one of the bigger challenges, and the goal of this guide is to inform players of all the little things that need to be learned along the way.

Hello.
HOI3-SF, no mods.
I'm playing as the UK from the 1936 scenario.
I started on or about 03April'11.
My style was to initially ask questions of more experienced players, and tell a story as I played the game. Hopefully, I'll add in some "witty banter" between what happens in the game and the historical record.
My thread on the main page is: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...y-a-new-player
(So now what do I do? and how do I get to hyperlink my text to a URL, so that it doesn't look like what is above, but looks cool like @HecNev's right above my post)(and since I'm asking, please direct me to "how to post screen shots", I can't find it.)

Heya!

I am Australia starting at the 1936 Scenario, my goal is to create a Australian Superpower with nuclear supremacy by the end of the game. Its told by the viewpoint of a Diplomat, but also jumps to points of others at times applicable, such as switching to the presidents perspective when there is a emergency or something like that. I have started on 4/16/11. Waltzing Matilda, a Australian AAR
I am starting Locarno, following a realistic alternate history where Mussolini's Italy remains opposed to Adolf Hitler and his radical form of Fascism, and works in concert with France and the Allies to contain Hitler's militarism and Germany's expansion.
Nation: Imperial Italy
Title: Locarno
Start Date: Jan 1936
Style: Gameplay

Nation: Italy
Title: L'Italia Da Sola -- A non-Axis Italian '36 SF AAR
Start Date: 1936
Link: Link
Version: Vanilla Semper Fi HoI3 v2.04d
Players: Single Player
Mods: None
Style: Combination of Role Playing, History Book and Game Play
Description: This AAR tells the alternate history story of an Italia that refuses to be Hitler's poodle. Mussolini, instead of a bombastic blowhard, is a shrewd statesman guiding his nation through dangerous times. His objective is to aggrandize his nation for future generations, not to feed his personal sense of megalomania. Italy will try to conquer an empire without relying on the scraps left over by Germany. However, Italy will try to avoid getting entangled in wars it cannot win on its own. Thus, it will avoid becoming an Axis member.
Real Life Start Date: April 13, 2011
Nation: Italy
Title: Credere, Obbedire, Combattere - An Italian AAR
Start Date: January 1st, 1936
Link: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...An-Italian-AAR
Version: Semper Fi HoI3 v2.04d (No mods)
Players: Single Player
Mods: None
Style: History book style with some screenshots, but this may change as I go.
Description: I've been away from HOI3 for quite sometime and never really got too good at it to begin with. I hear that Italy is a good choice for new players and since I am essentially a new player (I've never played with a major nation in the past), I figured it would be a good choice. I looked at trying Japan or Germany, but was totally overwhelmed. Italy is a nice choice with a war with Ethiopia to kick things off and a decent-sized, but manageable army/navy/air force.
I am not too sure of the direction I will take yet, but I figure I will join the Axis as in real life, but I want to be more aggressive than Mussolini was in actuality, attempting to seize a lot of land before Hitler kicks off his antics. I am sure I will make plentiful mistakes, but it is all in good fun.
