To commemorate the 60th year Anniversary after the start of the Ardennes offensive on Dec 16, 1944, Paradox Interactive has released a demo for Hearts of Iron 2 which features the same battle scenario covering France, the Netherlands and Belgium during 1944-45. Hearts of Iron 2, "grand strategy game depicting World War 2 in a real-time environment", will offer a redesigned map and interface, updated battle mechanics, re-worked technology tree, fine-tuned diplomacy and trade system, co-operative multiplayer and, apart from the four major campaigns, battle scenarios optimized for one or two evenings of gaming, as well as different multiplayer settings. The game is scheduled to be shipped to stores on January 4 in North America and will be available on all markets by mid-February.

Based on the demo, the game looks very promising indeed- however be aware that it is a bit easy (as the Germans).
