Hearts of Iron 3 - A New Youtube Tutorial!

[rob_mtl]

Hey folks,

Here is the first episode of my new Hearts of Iron 3 tutorial on my channel, Rob's Red Hot Spot.

This guide is for beginner or intermediate players who might want to revisit some game mechanics. I start with the most basic concepts and will move on to more challenging mechanics and specific strategies.

This is not a min-maxing guide, and I'm not trying to argue about the absolute best/optimal ways to play the game, but I hope this guide will be useful for getting started.

INDEX:

1: Basic Concepts
2: Division Composition
3: Organizing Your Airforce
4: Naval Units and Fleet Composition
5: Buildings
6: Technology Pt. 1 (all upgrade techs)
7: Technology Pt. 2 (Theory and Doctrines)
8: Opening moves, diplomacy, espionage, politics and trade
9: The Order of Battle
10. Leaders
Combat 1: Land Combat Basics


Feel free to leave comments here or on YouTube. Let me know if I've gotten something wrong/missed something, ask questions or request topics. I'll make a video with your points!

Watching the videos, not finished, but very good work. Not much needed for me, but brilliant for new players. Very good and solid tutorial.

Thanks! They're certainly made with beginner/intermediate players in mind. I tried to be as thorough as possible so that they can serve as a sort of glossary for more experienced players too. I'm going to be making the land/sea/air combat tutorials soon, after which point I'm considering a short series on "advanced strategy" with topics like Blitzkrieg and Encirclement, Defense in Depth, the Human Wave, etc.
