The only way the game gets less complex is to play it. Use Germany at first. They are the easiest because you can dominate anyone without having a navy (which is a bitch to deal with )(you can destroy the enemy's navies with naval bombers). ALWAYS have infantry in the queue, take a look at the national army screen (F6, tab over ) and be sure to be pretty close to Soviet Unions total. Beleive me, by the end of 41', 42' you will be faced on taking on Soviet Union and you will need tons of infantry just to hold the front. You will use Mech or Tanks to fight though. DO NOT research any Doctrines until start of war, you will receive from events for free. Concentrate on Industrilzation, Artilerry, Tank and Infantry techs at first.


On lower difficulties dont worry about an airforce, you really dont need one.

I hven't played in quite awhile, but that game is lots of fun if you like detiled strategy games. And the advice to learn with Germany is good. Managing all the freaking conveys you need with the other mjor powers (with the exception of Russia) is a pain. Its better the learn that after you understand all the other parts. And Germany will show you those.
