I actually don't know; I've never bought HoI3 .
However, I do know that HOI2 is extremely fun; granted, you need to know someone who plays it (I know a few of us HoI fans here would help you), due to the fact that the game is not exactly very "jump-on-in"ish.
Altogether, HoI is good fun (however, I've heard HoI 3 is unplayable without the expansion), so I'd suggest it. However, be aware: EU3 may look just like it, but they play wildly different; the style of warfare, which is a lot less "one-on-one" type than EU3, but instead gives the battle to those who know how to use mobility of multiple armies simultaneuosly as well as large-front support-attacking. The peacetime play is also very different, as it's less about diplomacy (although diplomacy is huge), and you can be a little more belligerent.
Is it pausable?
Asking this because the only reason I think EU3 is fun for me is because of this feature... the main reason why I don't play RTS games much is because I can pay attention to one thing at a time (this isn't bad, just says 'I AM A MAN!!!').
HOI2 is only 14 euros so maybe I am getting it anyway.
Got my internet back today!!!! Finally going back to RO1/BC2/Minecraft (online)/OpenTTD (online)/update AMD driver
FYI I lost the internet 11 january 2011, I am not addicted... I just need my fix once in a while (one nazi/communist/'moderncrapfare random middle eastern guy' per day. No they aren't given by IV)
