| Well I have been playing Hearts of Iron 2 (an RTS of WWII), until tonight. I played HOI 1, and whilst it had some severe faults it wasn't a bad first attempt, and I'd hoped that the sequel would iron out some of the faults and be a good game. Unfortunately not only has the sequel not ironed out the faults, it's actually added new ones, and exacerbated the existing ones. The biggest fault is that the designers seem to have a very strange view of the history of WWII, in fact whilst they demonstrate some knowledge about some things, they are desperately off with other things. They have Turkey joining the Allies in early '40 on a regular basis, the USSR declares war on Germany on April 1st 1940 in nearly every game, the fact that it's always April 1st makes me wonder if the whole game's some sort of bad joke actually.
In short it's a very, very bad game, leave well alone.
