Having no real experience with playing either HoI 3 or DH, I wonder what the advantages of either would be for succeeding Victoria 2 in a mega-campaign. Anyone care to comment?

Edit: I did find this thread. I'd still like to hear informed opinions if anyone cares to share them. :)

I have to agree with Mr.C, I think DH is a better choice, but that's also due to my preference for DH over HoI3.

DH is a game which I prefer out of the two you mentioned, but that said I think the game that would have the most potential for a such campaign would be HoI4.
