HoI III is coming out in less than a month, so I was wondering how many people here will get it, and if it would be possible to arrange one or two nights a week to play some large scenarios?

I played ALOT of HoI II, but never Multiplayer, so I might need some time to adapt (In single-player I always teched out Infantry and Panzer-units while neglecting the naval and air technologies completely. I guess this is not viable in multiplayer?)

Mint and me will get it certainly!

I'm always up for trying out the multiplayer mode, but I guess it will be pretty hard to find an occasion when all of us have so much time on their hands to complete the round.

huh? what?
hearts of iron? huh?

What's that?

Saving games brings a lot of problems with it. E.g. we start a game with 4 players, then save it. At some later date 3 of us want to play, but the 4th doesn't have time. So we start a new game with just 3 players. The next time someone else might not have time, or another 5th player wants to play too. So we start another game.
Pretty soon we're gonna have a mess of savegames. It's also frustrating if you make a mistake in one savegame, then go to play another game were you're more successful, but later have to reload the shitty save.

So ideally we would be able to finish a game in one session or maybe in two nights in a row (if we plan ahead). If we need any more sessions than that, it will not be much fun.

Well, if you agreed in advance to play at certain times during the week.... And IF someone were to be unavailable, just reschedule?

Game has just been released for pre-order on steam (It was already on pre-order other places). If you buy the game now, you get HoI 2 for free so you can warm-up for the release
