Even though being a french person waiting for a WW2 strategy game might sound ridiculous I am waiting for it.

Probably going to play as Sweden or Finland and bring them to full Nordic glory... Although the game looks vastly different compared to HoI3, so learning to play is definetly going to be "fun"... Although if I remember correctly, they said something about there being an ACTUAL tutorial this time... Right?

the tutorial will start you as italy, and once the tutorial's main "quests" are completed it turns into a regular game, which is convenient because i planned to play as italy first either way

Well, I can imagine the tutorial teaches you the basics of combat trough the Italo-Ethiopian war then, which is pretty convenient seeing as that is a pretty "small" war early on in the game, which would then make it relatively easy to manage.
