Can anyone recommend a good tutorial AAR for a new player?

Heya. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at the beginning of a game here and I thought it would be best to check out some of the AARs for beginners. The problem is, most of them seem to be geared towards people who already know what they're doing. Do you know of any that would be good for me?

Err, nevermind. I just looked at another thread and found a recommendation. Thank you, Pal, even though your message was not specifically directed towards me.

Hehe, no problem, chap. I just happened to be quicker than the other vets to point that one out.

This AAR is probably the best tutorial you'll read. Also, there's the HOI2 wiki for additional help.

Although personally, I would have written out the name in the link, as naming a link "here", "click me" or "this" is bad and wrong, more like "badwrong", or "badong". (One cookie for the first to cite this reference! Google is for sissies! )
