Hearts of Iron, i.e. advanced A&A

Are there any gamers on this forum who play any sort of roleplaying games?
I’m big into 4th Edition D&D, but I’ve also been working on designing my own original game system that I would love to test out, if I can find some interested players.

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

Hard to say, really. HoI3 has a lot more to it, and splits units even further, so that when you build your divisions you decide what types of brigades make them up. Also in HoI3, the war system is changed a bit, so that you have to have your neutrality at a certain point depending upon the other nation’s threat level before being able to declare war on them, whereas in HoI2, you could just go for it, but risk that a major power stops your expansionism if you hit someone whose independence they have guaranteed. If you plan on ever playing a minor power, then don’t bother trying to do it in HoI3, it’ll take you 12 months solid to be able to hit anyone else, regardless of which nation you pick. If you plan on only doing the bigger countries that were involved in WW3, then it won’t make a difference.

HoI3 also has more glitches to it, but you can expect them to be fixed by patching.

Really, it depends on if HoI3 is too much micromanagement for you to handle, or if you want to ever play a minor power such as bulgaria or brazil.

Looks great. I want one. How much?

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.

I like TripleA alot. I haven’t played the other PC game since I downloaded TripleA.
