WWII strategy game that doesn't suck?? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Hearts of Iron - picked it up this weekend. My first thought was that it was complex as hell. My second thought was- this is complex as hell. I'm having a good time with it though, it takes place in the 1936-1948 range, plenty of time to change history. My favorite thing about it so far is you aren't limited to the major powers. I decided I wanted to play as Argentina and take over Latin America, cool stuff

I like Hearts of Iron a lot, though I spend a lot of time just letting the clock run, and the yearly "Set every province to develop industry" I could do without. But a game I still like is Panzer General. Old, I know, but very fun.
