New York 8th of May 2009 Paradox Interactive have released new in game footage for Hearts of Iron III, the long awaited third instalment of the World War II Strategy series set for release Q3 2009.

This video shows the vastness of the Soviet Union, from its western borders with Poland to the far eastern ports, close to Japan. If the Soviet Union is ever attacked by an enemy, they have enormous amounts of space to trade for time that they can use defeat their enemies. General Winter is ever their ally. We also demonstrate the intelligence capabilities of Hearts of Iron 3, where you can easily send spies to other countries to both get information on them, as well as the capabilities of creating havoc.
