I bought yesterday HOI II and it is really great . Does anyone have it also ?
I liked HOI I also but HOI II is like EU 2 compared to EU 1 . You simply don't play the 1st part of the series anymore because the 2nd part is so much better .
My first game is already ultragorgeous : http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/35/2119535/1024_3039633166623531.jpg

Case yellow failed nicely because of the clever french offensive into south germany http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif .
A few month later the situation has somewhat stabilized but is still very dangerous :

Now if Stalin decides to declare war to me with his 550 Divisions ... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif .

I have it, however, I must admit that it has not really drawn me in. Compared to EUII (AGCEEP), it has much less events, and I miss colonizing and exploring.

I hate random events http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif .

But just wait for stony road or mantikors mod and you will have plenty of events in hoi 2 also http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Lol, exactly same thing happened to me wy first time with germany. Only by the time the frech got to regensburg or so I managed to annex the polis, after that I quickly redeployed my tank divisions to Dortmund and walked my offensive infrantry to meet the french head on. Result was a single encirclement including 90% of the french army, after which I could take a stroll in the french countryside without any problems.

Hehe i face more troubles because i changed ai difficulty to +200% Resources/IC/Manpower http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif .

Now i encircled 100 French divisions in Belgium but can't wipe them out because then the other 100 French Divisions break them free http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif.
