Although they just came out with Victoria 3 and Mike 3 is coming. Victoria 3 is a beauty but there are more products out there still for Vic2, although with a little tweeking you can get just about anything to conform to Vic3. If you were me, I would go for Victoria3 and wait for Mike 3...up to you though, it is just I really like Vic3 and she is cheaper now then she will be. Sharen
