Hearts of Iron 3 and upcoming 4

Is there a website like Axisandallies.org for Tide of Iron? I’m curious if there is any news of upcoming expansions for the game or an updated designer series scenario book.

I’ll look forward to this. Had the game for 3 months now and still haven’t figured out the rules yet!

Don’t forget to try out the epic WW1 Mod for HoI3! It’s soberly well done, I would know, we’ve been testing it in multiplayer games for a little over a year now  :-D

I was more or less trying to get the inside scoop on games that are in the development stages still.

The game plays a little like Flames of War. So I’ve heard anyway.

It’s kind of like a lighter version of Squad leader. The game also has event cards that add a little twist to each senario.

It breaks down like this, sort of.

each side alternates moving 3 bases each time until there are on units left to move.
each base has an attack and defense value whether thats 0 or 4 or whatever.
Firepower is a certain amount of d6s. Like a mg42 is 4 dice. Each 5 of 6 scores a hit.
The defender rolls their defence dice cancelling each hit against them with a 5 or 6.
Terrian, armor and fortifications account for most defence, Although there are cards that may impact that as well.
It’s pretty straight foward and fun.
There are couple things I don’t like about it and that is the lack of anti-tank guns and machine gunners, if given opp fire, can shoot at every single unit thats moves provided it has line of sight.

@Gewehr:

Has anyone tried to play as Turkey?

I did, conquered Syria and Lybanon, then joined Comintern. When allies dowed USSR, I conquered Middle East and North Africa. Then, I invaded Japan by parachuting from Vladyvostok. A very hard way of invading Japan  :-P

@UKcommander:

Yeah, it just is a nuisance to have to take command of all Allied units to win a war.  Has anyone tried HOI Doomsday yet?

I have Doomsday, it’s better, but even more involved.  Spys and new techs.

After wasting what i would call a long month on it….

I would call it fair… Civ 4 while is better and worse than civ 3 which rocked out … for every point they added to the game i feel they took one away… Its a little too graphic heavy IMHO… i mean its civ… has it ever looked good? hence longer loads between turns… so not worth it…

The multi caliber political system… while it looks more complicated and more involved … ahh i feel its rather bah after i played a few times…

the effects of land bonuses… ahh i simply think they over did it this game… ahh but it does add to being able to trade with your neighbor…

The AI well its still cracked out … so that’s the same…

anyway those are my humble opinions on the game… At least they didn’t go Masters of Orion 3 on it and ruin a good title… gawd that blew…
