I tried to get into hoi4 but I got stuck in the tutorial after following all the instructions, my soldiers stalled out in North Africa and I couldn't figure out why. I don't know if I'm an idiot or the tutorial was just bad at its job, I googled and skimmed wikis but it didn't really answer my problem and after that I just lost all the energy to play the game. The knowledge and time investment just to start to play the game is too much for me I guess.
I suck eggs at grand strategy games, but I'm guessing it's related to the lower infrastructure in that region. It'll fuck up your supplies and choke your army to a halt.
idk if you've played since supply got reworked, but infrastructure has nothing to do with supply. you need a supply hub with a rail/port connection to your capital and enough trains/convoys to fill the supply need. his divisions are probably out of range of the nearest hub. the range can be slightly increased by motorizing the hub, if you have the trucks. otherwise you'll have to build a new supply hub or take one from the enemy
Find a friend to play with (just one computer and player playing), grab a few drinks, and discuss major decisions. It's a good time. The actual player can handle minor decisions and general running of the country.
IIRC the math behind the units has been updated since the tutorial was made. You can still take North Africa with the units provided, but there's a bit of luck/tinkering involved so it may take a few tries.

I think I last played when Man the Guns came out lol. It's been a minute and it's probably an entirely different game.
