HoI, EU2 and SE4 are the only games on my pc anymore. 1.06 for HoI makes signifigant improvements, especially to the AI and naval combat. I have found the user community for the Paradox games is as pleasant and helpful as the one for SE -- shocking but true as far as I can tell. A lot of the HoI players play the CORE mod, but I generally play the "Starfire Historical Mod". If you are just starting to play HoI, I would suggest throwing out the manual and reading the FAQ instead, although I seem to remember a mod group putting together their own manual for "Vanilla" (stock HoI).
