How do you play Hearts of Iron 3?

Like most other RTS games, it is a bit tricky to play. The manual should give you the basic controls though, and the tutorial of any game pretty much assumes that you have read the manual or at least the quick-start guide .

There is also the HOI3 wiki and the official HOI3 forums complete with FAQ thread .

Thanks. BTW I have read the quickstart guide and the tutorials are pretty useless when it comes to troop movements. And I didnt find the forum to be particularly helpfull. Although like most paradox games they kinda half assed this one. This one was more like HOI2 but with more control over things. Too bad I didnt get that one. GA though.
