I don't know the entire "recipe" for HOI3 yet, but I suspect that it is going to be a much tighter, more coherent and overall better orchestrated representation of WW2 style lobal strategic warfare, at least for the major nations. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into it. I don't agree with some of the design decisions made to date, but I'm confident that this game will be on my hard drive for a long, long time because it is being optimized for my kind of strategic warfare.
