Rather limited options for doing anything, and unless you know the tricks you'll be doing absolutely nothing the first half of the game.3. This game is drudgery galore. It's main game-mechanic consist of organizing your troops into a proper chain of command. Doing this is about as time-consuming as in real life. A clunky and unintuitive interface makes this chore into your own personal hell.4. HoI3 is spent waiting for something interesting to happen, but it never does.5.
