      It needs a patch, desperately. Unlike Firaxis, however, Paradox puts out it patches rather quickly. Paradox has always been soft on AI, but the 1.03 patch is expected to solve some of really big problems. I myself am a hopeless EU II addict.

        I believe that Stalin killed more people than Hitler.
        I didn't realize that facts were something one could believe in.

          I fact is something that can be proven true or false. Therefore you can believe in facts, even if they are false. It is debatable who murdered more people outright, but it is beyond doubt who is responsible for more deaths, since Hitler started a war which killed 50-60 million people.

              You don't have 1.03?
              How the hell you can play it? I played 1.02 for some time and then uninstalled the game. It was to easy and too buggy. 1.03 changed things dramaticaly. With 1.03 it's really GREAT game.

                Is the Pope catholic?

                What is it called when you gut your only means of defense against foreign threat?

                Complying with a UN Security Council resolution.
                I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                  Better to use 1.03b than plain 1.03 for HoI, but the game's still far from perfect...and some might not like a couple of the changes/side effects.

                  More about Stalin...? Hmm...let's add that his purges in real life were much worse than the one's in HoI.

                    I don't know. In 1.02 I don't have any problems playing as Soviet Union. When I played 1.03 first time I was shoked a couple of times, like for example when I saw that Wehrmacht had more divisions than Red Army, when Allies declared war over SU because of Soviets invaded Turkey, and finally when 20 Soviet divisions (including 8 tank ) were encircled and destroyed in Praha (I thought that Germany is history, my forces controlled Berlin and my tanks rolled to France, but those bastards regrouped and launched brilliant counter offence. It was really cool.)

                      1.02 is unplayable IMO. There used to be a bug where the computer always dumped a comparable amount of IC's into units as the player, meaning if you focus on research instead of pumping out enough units, the computer never builds what it needs.

                      OH NO!

                        Yeah. The most terrible bug was about loss of R&D time/cost bonus provided by disovery of various computers after save/load, imho.

                              No. He was much, much worse.

                                On the other hand, I'm not sure that without Stalin's crash industrial program, that the USSR would have been able to fight off the Nazi invasion.


                                Well that is the main problem when saying the USSR would have been better without Stalin. Most likely without Stalin, Hitler would have probably had a much easier time marching to Moscow (and I don't think that without Stalin you would have seen a world wide commie revolution).
