Hearts of Iron 3 Starter guides/AAR

[CrimsonAngel]

So i bought Hearts of Iron 3 from steam and i am having some issues with the game mostly when it comes to the ARMY and how to use it.

SO her is what i need some good After Action Reports/Let's plays/Guides.
TO give me some better ideas of what to do.

I have started to grasp the game on a basic lvl, but a few AAR could be good so if you know of any good ones i would love to get my hands on them.

Dunno about AAR's but there are decent enough guides in the HoI3 wiki. You might want to read the other HoI3-threads we got here as well.

Honestly, just load up the '39 scenario as Germany and invade Poland will be the easiest way to get a handle on the combat system. If you need detailed explanations of the chain of command and stuff like that the wiki has all the details.

Im trying to play the Black Ice mod, but It keeps crashing when the game loads up the cores at startup

A good country to start is Austrailia. Enough resources and tech abilities to create a large force, yet you still have to manage your resources, and you are isolated from most of your enemies.

Play the small scenarios as the Axis powers first, that's how I learned. Start with the Desert Fox and continue down the list. I didn't read any manuals and shit I learned by getting my hands dirty.

Which OS are you using? Works fine on my two 64 bit Windows 7 machines (desktop and laptop). Try the 64-bit fix that's available on tech support page of the Paradox forum.

I hate the way they treated the last incarnation of true potatoes in this game. The easiest bitch to invade.

I got it working, I didnt know I had to register to Paradox's site to download the fix I needed.
