  1. WWII - the best scene

    I think it is a great game, without the DLCs too. Complex but useful, I really like it. And it was cheap compared to other stores or the marketplaces, and it has a huge gametime, so it worths every eurocent.

  2. Great game

    I enjoyed playing this game because of it's focusing on the small details and the realistic factors.

  3. The WW2 game to get

    A step up from vanilla HoI III, with less micro and more strategy. The battle plans make waging war on multiple fronts much less of a chore than previously.

    If Grand Strategy in a WW2 setting is your thing, this is the game to get.

    Only con for me, the game performance degrades too much as the timeline advances.
