In earlier games of 1 and 2 when Nanjing is taken, the Japanese massacre the city and ravage the whole region's infrastructure and generate global infamy, likely drawing all democracies against them, and " closed societies" like Nazi Germany or Japan antagonize the conquered population and have a very hard time exploiting non-racial territories(unless they reform their societies,e.g stop being Nazis or spend enough garrisons to keep the population down-usually making the territory a cost drain without a puppet government). Gameplay aside, the later games created quite a bit of argument about "whitewashing" WW2, all the atrocities against civilians being toned down. Especially once you lower your recruiting and training standards sufficiently. But nothing is as cheap and easy to replace as infantry. Said that, all other units are excellent against infantry, be it dive bombers, heavy panzer divisions or a god-damn battleship bombarding the shore, not to mention nukes.
Depending on who you will pick as your nation(Majors, to be precise), you might add some tanks or planes to the mix, but generally speaking, infantry will be your bread, butter and even the butter knife.
Everything else is a luxury and you probably won't be able to afford it anyway. Gameplay-wise, mostly you need is infantry with some support artillery. As usual of Paradox Interactive, the sequel which was made months after the first was received with great approval. Then they realized that the same grand strategy board can be used for a steamy session of World War 2 armchair generaldom, and Hearts of Iron 1 was born. Once upon a time, Paradox released Europa Universalis 1 and 2. Its contribution to /tg/ can be counted as: Expanding the Nazi Equipment page, inspiring Games Workshop and every little Tabletop gaming company about Dieselpunk, Mecha and Cold War ideas, and especially long nights of greasy, soda-drenched Axis and Allies sessions.
The grandest of Grand Vidya Gaem of Grand Strategy in Grand World War 2, made by the equally grand Paradox Interactive.
