Paradox Newsletter says I can preorder HOI3 now, but I can't the site tells me I have to wait till August 7th 
Also I may have missed it, but what does it mean by "get the German Sprite Pack, and the American Sprite Pack for Free!"?
Is v1.0 being released with a more limited set of sprites unless you get the preorder? (I'm getting the preorder either way, mind you...)
Edit: Which, if the Pz I, II, III, IV, V and VIb are unique, does make me wonder which sprites the default German armour use...![]()
Maybe a different model of Panzer III or IV?
I think it may be Tiger (Tiger 1) sprite in the basic version.
That would seem logical, and I seem to remember seeing a Tiger 1 sprite somewhere in previous promotional matierial, although I can't remember where

If that's the only model, it would certainly make '39 more visually interesting, as Tigers roll en masse through Poland...![]()
