1941-45 reworked OOB

[cain012]

Just attempted a new download and it worked fine this time. Apologies Teo, the other day it just would not let me download it.

What's news in the next release?

Probably the playable Finland in the MP version of the scenario and a CPP rebalancing in the Axis SP vs HARD AI scenario. If people have any idea for event-based challenges, feel free to drop them here in the comments section.

Otherswise, I feel pretty satisfied with the mod at this stage and I need to focus on:
1) My Operation Barbarossa Youtube playlist;
2) The 1942-1945 scenario. I have almost the complete Axis OOB, and then I would just need to add it to the map before sharing it to the commuinity for several rounds of tests!

Howdy folks!

Here is the latest update of the OOB mod. While I could not bring Finland to the map for the MP scenario (I would need to find the historical disposition of all Finnish and Soviet units and I simply don't have the time to do it), this update bring some additional flavour for the Axis as well as one tiny balance for the SP vs HARD AI scenario.

NOTE: this will most likely be the last update of the mod, unless something big comes out that requires me to update the scenarios. I am now fully focused on my Youtube series as well as the 1942-1945 scenario

Silly question maybe, how to transfer VIII RAD into Theather Box?
Already put it under OKH but find no "Transfer Unit" writing to click on.

Tks,

[Teo41_ITA]

Either move back the HQ of AGC at the beginning of the turn or, at the end, when the frontline has inevitably shifted eastwards, send it to the WE TB.

Teo, I really like what you have done with your mod. I have a couple questions, I want to play a hotseat solo game, which verison of your mod would you recommend for the most historical experience for both sides? I am not very clear on what the specific differences are with each variation.
And I would like to add in some German buildable units to take advantage of the beta. I like what Chaos45 did with his buildable units mod, how would I go about incorporating those into whichever scenario you recommend above?
Thanks so much and thanks for your effort for the game!
