hm, I have been a fan paradox games since i saw Hearts of Iron II with my friend.
I didn't buy the game after i tried it for the first time, but the strategial, materials , productions and the other aspects of the game impressed me from the start.
I thought the game was medium hard to learn, and quite hard to master.
It was the best strategy game i tried and has still tried of World War Two.
I did anticipate Hearts of Iron III last year, because i wanted something deeper then hearts of Iron II, without getting to much micromagament, more possibilities in diplomatics and the production aspect.
Also grand strategy games with good gameplay, historic feel has always interested me much more then fancy graphics.
So i think Hearts of Iron III fits right into that scale, and is exactly the game i am looking for!
And if that wasnt enough i had birthday on 30th of March, so it would be a prefect present!
regards,
Alexander
