I play a lot of FtG and I can understand the basics of the map but the demo for this game is incomprehensible.

None of the special abilities of commanders are explained, there are no tutorials of any sort included in the demo, and the manual is not linked in the steam store either.

How does supply work? How does strength work? How do I use the reinforcements from the events that keep occurring? Is there an easy way to seperate out air divisions from ground divisions on the map, I'm used to seeing 14 and thinking I'm in good shape, and when I check it 7 of it is air and I'm actually about to get overwhelmed.

Based on reviews it seems HoI 3 was made even more complicated, so I'm fairly sure I want to stick to a fully expanded and debugged 2 if I get the game at all, but I don't know if I'll like it until I can understand how battles work well enough to determine if the engine is actually fun
