Hi and welcome to a project of mine. Even though I'm a new member of the forum, I've been around for ages and lurked through the most mods and AAR:s throughout the years and that's perhaps the reason why I finally though it was time to contribute something of my own to the community.

Even though I've got pretty decent modding skills, my fantasy isn't the best, so therefore I'd like to request some aid by you in order to complete the next version.

GFX

- How could a French colonial administration flag look like?
- How could a british colonial administration flag look like?

DB

- How would a franco-british cabinet look like in 1939 if France asked Great Britain for a union and thus have to adapt a bit more, but still demand "a good deal"?

Well, guess that's all for know. The downloadable scenario is fully playable and contains (my mistake) BeBro's amazingly nice looking interface mod. No new events nor gfx were added to this version, but England and France are ony country and the colonial possesions of France belongs to the French Colonial Administration who are puppets to the union.

Questions and comments, here or by PM!

Thanks for your support.

PS. There are enough of great mods out there who change tech trees, major gfx overhauls, etc and this wont be one of theme. HOI3 is coming and I prefer just having a new, interesting scenario with nice gameplay mainly through events for the community to play until summer is over and we can finally enjoy HOI3!

Tried boki's idea for a flag..

Doesn't come out well since the white in the french flag makes it impossible to distinguish it from the white in the british flag. You can use it if you want, though. Just ask if you need it in HoI2 form
 
And they said it would never happen!

That will do it. For now, at least. Yes, I'd appreciate it in HOI2 form! Thanks! :)

And they said it would never happen!

Yeah, who could have guessed that? And all this for a stamp I saw earlier today. :cool:
 
On a serious note, the mod looks great but it'd be better if there were some events. I'd like to hear how the playtesting goes.

Of course there will be events... Look at this mod as an alternative and rather improved '39 scenario and not another "grand mod" like CORE, TRP or such like. My aim is just to complete a scenario rather quick for the community to enjoy until HOI3 comes out. :)

The events I've planned for so far are:

Tensions between the French and English...
Scotts, Wales and Northern Ireland who want no part of the Union

+ the original events already provided by Paradox and of course
+ Flavour and gameplay events by those whose imagination are greater than mine!

I'm working on a new skin ATM as well as setting up an extra puppet "the brittish commonwealth" since the unions IC are waaaay to high and thinking of balancing it by put a peace time modifier...

Stumbled upon this:

http://www.quintelosky.com/reignerok/wiki/index.php/France-Britain

A bit better quality (especially the flag). Doesn't have a counter though. Can make one though if you give me the colors you want to give the counter.

Yes, he (ShockMox) fixed it for me and he uploaded a counter to that page now also, but thanks for your support, CaptRobau! :)

The new flag and shield is included in 0.11a and I'll upload the counter tomorrow together with some other improvements hopefully. Many thanks for your interest!
 
Any new events, that sort of thing?

No, not yet. But since this mod focus on gameplay, it will of course contain event as fast as possible. But remember, I started this project yesterday and it takes a bit of time re-arranging all provinces and such.

Feel free to come with ideas you'd like to see incorparated in the mod.

And I share nomohans philosopy... you can never release your updates to often. :)
 
LurkAAR you can make union Germany=Italy vs Britany=France.It will be interesting.

Britany=France anexsed Spain in late 1937 nad 1938 Portugal, 1939 belgium, netherlands and ireland(war everything)

1941 ger=ital create tripate pact with japan and america

1941 eng=fran create union with russia.

I'll think about it for sure. With the union, perhaps the royal family in England who's the official head for the union will show their support for their cousions in mother Russia... Interesting idea, but I'll focus to get the platform for the Union first and then I'll start drawing what to do next.

By the way, 0.12 is out in a couple of minutes.
