Reichs Expansion Pack

All right, I've finished Axis, British and French OOB for 2nd El Alamein/Torch scenario. It seems that British 8th Army is strong enough to win (especially with its air superiority), so there is no point to add forces from Middle East or Iran. USAAF in Egypt would outweigh the scales even more.

The question is whether French units should join Allies or disappear after Torch. Axis would get ~10 divisions in Tunisia, I think that US troops would be strong enough to deal with them.

Anyway, as I wrote before, most probably you would need to hold Libya and Tunisia for strategic victory and only Tunisia for marginal.

Well, hold my beer and watch.

A lot of people say you can't smoke US battleships and get nice, clear Sea of Sicily when you have only Italian fleet, and that's not true, you can. But you still need to take control over it as Germany, that's being responsible.

The cavalry is coming.

Third Battle of El Alamein

This happens when AI doesn't smash player with its air superiority:

It looks pretty good when I play as Allies though, so AI need some tweaks or cheat events to actually roll through North Africa.

I did some adjustments to icons for Luftwaffe (of course part of them I took from Kazoo's pack):

New icons for night fighters and artillery divisions:

Besides, I redo French capitulation a bit to adjust it to Torch & Anton decisions. I've also added some events here and there (Pervitin (∩ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)⊃━☆ﾟ. * ･ ｡ﾟ,)

Actually Franz von Epp and Heinrich Schnee should be HoS/HoG at the beginning.

I can't wait for the next update. I caught a bug months ago. If Sweden doesn't exist (because Germany conquered it) then the event about the transportation of Swedish iron ore via Norwegian ports off fires every day.

Do you control all Norway? It should stop these events. Alternatively you can remove events with id 19250056-63 from Mods/Reichs Expansion Pack/db/events/Reichs Expansion Pack/NS Germany/GER_SCA_relations.txt. I'd check these events later.

Africa is finished, Middle East and DAK are next, so new version of REP in February-March is pretty possible.

I had control of Norway and Sweden and made some edit to those files that stopped the event from repeating but it was months ago and Ive forgotten what I changed.

Some screens about Middle East... Of course flags and counters are still WIP.

Having a slight problem, where can I find the event that unlocks the OKH & OKW? I have searched the ones in the mod and cannot find it.

Mods\Reichs Expansion Pack\db\events\Reichs Expansion Pack\NS Germany\Army.txt, though it doesn't unlock these units anymore.

So, in the next update, can you have them be unlocked at start then, maybe? Kinda useless to have 2 HQ stuck in the capitol and not on the front.

P.S. I am really enjoying the mod, quite the challenge.

Oops, I was imprecise. These HQs wouldn't be activated at all, they are removed actually. As you wrote, they were useless as locked HQs and it would be weird to have your general staff at the frontline.

I'm testing the upcoming version of REP just right now, it's 1936 and it's working well so far.

Please change the TAG om SS-Burgundy to U00 so it can be edited with the HoI2 editor.

I'm not gonna resign from one of the most important improvements of DH just to keep this mod compatible with some outdated editor. My advice: use Notepad++ to edit DH files. It's completely compatible with each and every mod.

 

[rwglaub]

W#ho said resign? Just change the TAG. The editor is a great tool that works with all other mods.

I said resign - I won't scrap other countries' tags, remake 6 countries and limit myself with creation new countries in the future just because some old editor couldn't handle newest version of DH. So my final answer is no, I'm not gonna do that.

Since you're already modding, why don't you just change the tag on your version?

Are there some leader pics missing.

Noticed that in the german file as i copied them into another mod.

Yes, about 1,000 of them iirc. I wrote some time ago that I'll be adding them gradually.
