The tutorials are completely useless. They don't explain you how to play at all. EU2 tutorials were good, since then they get worse with every Paradox game.

The 1939 scenario is either uncomplete, or laughable. AI Britain is pretty much useless (it never tries to help France or Poland). Germany is so ahistorically overpowered it kind of makes the whole demo boring (playing as Germany, you can just steamroll France and Poland at the same time, going through the Maginault Line without any problem). I know Germany has to have a 'gamey' advantage that it didn't have IRL (otherwise anyone playing France/UK could easily defeat Germany), but at the moment it's kind of 'meh'.
Germany also seems to have a huge technological advantage at the beginning (not sure about that though, I'll have to check) which is also silly.
Industry also either have to not be ready yet, or to be completely gamey. UK, France and Germany only have a few provinces with developed industries (the capital, and a few other big cities).

Italy, Finland and USSR don't do anything, which was to be expected, but still kinda disappointing.
Are you talking about HoI 2 or 3?
