Dont get me wrong this game is fun and i would love to give it a thumbs up but there are some serious issues that need to be pointed out but lets start with the pros.

Pros
-The way you manage your airplanes is soo easy and I am sooo glad that they changed it from the tedious system in the last game.
-The frontline system is a cool adition which makes it easier to hold a front or start a invasion
-The production/construction system is syplified down and it allows newer players to easily learn the game. This is also takes away the some times confusing IC system from HOI 3 and allows the player to create their own factories that can be used to produce what they want to.

Cons
-The ai is horrible and allows you to make naval invasions or flanking manuvers soo easy and abandones a front if there is another that could be easier to be taken over
EX: My friend and i were playing he was china and i was australia and eventually the people's republic of australia and about a year into the 2nd sino-japanese war i joined the united chinese front. After this i lost all my army in transport to china and then japan thinks its a strategical idea to take all of there 75 to 100 devisions off the chinese front to occupy australia
-ai dosnt care if you sneak behind their lines and take their capital EX: i naval invaded france north of paris and just walked in because france was too busy stairing at the Germans that just filed through belgium without any resistiance.
-The supply system is SOOOOO bad that as say japan you could invade russia throught the siberian wasteland cross the urals and get to moscow with full supplys. while you are doing this the russians are staring at the germans that are getting invaded by a combined scandinavian force.
-You can play as any country in the world and take over the world. for example luxembourg you first of all just need to do a bit of research build up a tiny army throw a few pamphlets around that say how good communism is then BOOM you are communist join the comintern declare war on germany russia joins bye bye german reich.
-The frontlines are broken and they can lead to units statigicly redeploying to the opposite side of a offensive line because its "stategical'
-the god awful diplomatic system can lead to a retarded and broken looking world

I dont get how this game could be called a GSG if the key components to a GSG are broken (ai, diplomacy, supply, and loads of micromanagement). all in all this game is fun but now where near the standards of the last generation paradox games.
