The über-easy to use "Customize your leader" feature is great! I never knew I could see Enver Hoxha naked!
Funny...
As to answer his question, yes, Paradox Interactive can make a Hearts of Iron III based on the EU3 engine. It will be rumored about first, then announced together with the opening of a new sub-forum, like all the other games have their own forums.
They won't say much at first. Then we will begin to get screenshots, which will be heavily analyzed by fanboys. Then the beta-tests, AARs and finally the gold (publishing version), that will be released the same day as patch 1.01.
It will suck and lots of people will complain about it's lack of historical realism. Then people will rant back at the complainers about "Paradox has never let us down" and so forth.
Oh, it will cost c. 50€ or $, and will be published both online and in stores.
Except this 2009 at the earliest.

At least it'd be more historically accurate than EU3. I highly doubt they'd let Hitler develop good relations with Poland, and then invade Italy every single game.
Axis-Poland is possible in HOI2... I've done it myself, just increase relations and ask them to join, works every time...Mrdie said:
It'd be interesting to see how they'd do it, though. It'd have to be somewhat realistic at least up to the point where you decide to make a major change to history, or else it isn't a World War II game.

Pah. Hitler would die 5 weeks into the game, and you'd get a 3/3/3 goober who would survive the rest of the war, even if you sent him to Moscow naked in January.

Herr Hess, I believe we could make peace with the Bolshevists if you went to Moscow nekkid. Get on it!

His question was could someone here mod HoI3 from EU3, not could Paradox do it. Maybe you missed that or you just wanted to flame Paradox, good job anyway.
To answer the OP, I suppose you could make a total conversion mod and end up with something looking like WWII, it would take a lot of work though so I can't see anyone doing it when they could just play HoI2.

Aye - HoI2 is just plain better when it comes to combat of all sorts, anyway. Especially WW2 combat...
