Yes, its a mess, yes it has problems, yes it has all the issues of a modern Paradox game.

However it still offers the best, most comprehensive WW2 Strategy experience. Once you get a hang of the, admittedly somewhat bloated, mechanics and stop getting bent over by the supply system, you're in for years of replayability and a studio that does not stop supporting their games.

Fun things to try include:
-Ousting Stalin in the 2nd Russian Civil War
-Bumrushing the Allies as H-man in 1936
-Reuniting China as one of the many warlords,
-Holding out against Fascism AND Communism as Poland
-Putting yet another Napoleon on the throne of France and get revanche on Belgium
-Reforming the Austrohungarian Empire


Don't let hardcore gamers that are salty about wasting their lives on this game keep you from wasting yours. Its fun
