 Rating:  - FantasticSecond only to Civ in terms of grand strategy. For those who are WWII history buffs, the game is unbeatable. Plays much like the Avalon Hill game THE THIRD REICH.

But Portugal had too weak an econonmy to go to war ... Read More Rating: - Outstanding!Personally, in regards to game-play, HOI is a fantastic "RTS" game. You may choose to play any number of countries between 1936-1948. There are three ideologies at odds: Axis, Allies, and Comintern (communists). You may also maintain neutrality if you wish, but it can be a challenge not getting dragged into the conflict. Like EU2, HOI has a complex, but easily understandable w/ experience, economic system to manage. In addition, one needs to consider resource supplies, industrial capacity, ... Read More |
