Hearts of Iron - I salute you
This game is more action oriented than other Paradox titles and its short time-span is perfect for shorter games. It will appeal more to those of you who prefer their games to to be exciting.
For me its underlying strength is its simplicity. Too many games now-a-days try to be overly complex or clever. Though the game has undoubtably been over taken by the sequel it still a fun way to spend an afternoon trying to conquer Russia as Italy or Germany as Poland.
This version has all the accumulated fixes and enhancements and an updated manual. I dare say alot of people will overlook this title, but as the price its worth it for a few weekends of anyones time. Though if you are a novice to strategy games or a newcomer to Grand Strategy titles, it is a great place to start.
