The title is "For the Motherland", more information coming soon, but feel free to speculate!

Hurray!

Speculation:
"For the Motherland" means Russia.
Russia means land warfare
land warfare means logistics

Am I getting warm?

 

[Pj Fallon]

Wait have they started working on it yet?

If not there's a couple of reads hanging around with suggestions.

 

[Liester]

No, I think it's an expanded timeline, a doomsday expansion, where is the third worldwar, rusia agaist everybody, a short time after WWII

 

[Traks]

Good, I will wait for more information before starting to speculate.
I expect that 50% of our woes will be addressed in expansion.
In meantime they can finalize 2.04 patch.

 

[Mjuice]

I think this will be the expansion that'll finally push HOI3 over the treshold into a great game.

[Laffertytig]

by the sound of the title we can assume a big part of this expansion will be to improve the european theatre. the last expansion was meant to fix the pacific theatre and its still fubar so excuse me for not bein to excited!

And in to the oven?

 

[Chromos]

cats out of the bag

And in to the oven?

Well, if it is a "well oiled kitten"..

Come on, give us more Informations..

Something with russia for sure and "For the Motherland" sound more like "The Great Patriotic War" then "Cold War"..


Kind regards,
Chromos

And in to the oven?

Cats nowadays are put into the microwave ... for all purposes.

Anyways, looking forward to whatever is coming there =).

Yes! APCs that shoot attack bears!

 

[jackda]

According to what Johan has said on recent interview it sounds like some king of cold war expansion.
Exactly what August Storm mean to be.
I'm glad, it will open new perspectives for modding!

 

[Matt_the_king]

found some info on a live blog http://www.strategyinformer.com/editorials/10583/live-blog-paracon-2011

new Hearts of Iron 3 Expansion: For the Motherland.

Battle Scenarios

Will allow you to play though specific operatiosn that happened in WW2. Barborossa, Africa Korps, etc...

Deeper Politics, including Coups.

Better Axis vs. Allies vs. Comintern dynamic.

Enhanced Theatre of Wars.

Well, further enhanced.

 

[OrangeYoshi]

August Storm?

Anyway, it's good to see another expansion. WWII just keeps getting better and better.

 

[unmerged(230810)]

Eh... the current game needs polishing, they don't really need new features. Hopefully they're not going to just add stuff without addressing what doesn't work properly...

Did Johan say anything about hiring a copy editor? A native English speaker? Using spell check?
