Paradox's grand-strategy wargame Hearts of Iron 4 hasn't built up as powerful a salvo of DLC as its other squad mates in the Paradox Development Studio roster, but with the release of Man the Guns there's now enough extra stuff available for purchase that you might want to know which order to attack them in.
We've called each paid offering to attention to assess their capabilities and see how well they pass muster.

Note on the Expansion Pass & Colonel Edition
If you've never heard of the Hearts of Iron 4 Expansion Pass before, none of this information is relevant as it's no longer available for purchase. But if you did get a hold of it back around launch and are curious, every major DLC mentioned in this guide is included with the Expansion Pass up to Man the Guns. Anything from La Resistance onwards isn't included and must be purchased separately.
Similarly, the Colonel Edition is no longer available for purchase, neither is the Colonel Edition Upgrade pack that was around for a while. All of the content that was originally part of this version (which was mainly cosmetic) has either been re-released in a more dedicated DLC, or has simply been folded in the base game for free. Check out the Miscellaneous DLCs section below.
