Rayski was big bomber fan, so Army Aviation looks much more realistic then Air Superiory (Zajac got Air Superiority, right?).

Collins J.L.;60126;USA;2;21;4;0;5;0;collins_joseph_usa;x
Collins L.P.;60127;USA;3;0;1;0;5;0;collins_lawton_usa;x

do you mean that they should be switched or what?

Birch,
I may be quite wrong about the above after searching for "Lawton Collins". I knew he was something of a "heavy hitter", but didn't know many details of his career.
The search for "Lawton Collins" brought up "joseph Lawton Collins", the "Lawton Collins" I was thinking of. So who is "J.L. Collins"? listed in the same group of Collins's.
A search for "J.L. Collins" produced no military results.
I wonder if the two entries: "J.L. and Lawton" aren't one and the same man.
Anyway, I'm going to change the entries back to the original as they appear in your above post.

p.s. I'm updating all the csv files to show the leader trait abreviations in front of the officers names.

Also, about leader file: any chance that army commanders from 1939 (Bortnowski, Fabrycy, Kutrzeba, Przedrzymirski) will become full generals and play their historial role? I prefer them insteand of totally unknown for me full general Dembinski ;)

I'm actually applying that to all the ministers files,so a player can have all the traits to choose from(If there are replacements enough)That means of course that there are some ministers who won't exactly have the right trait,,,but it is more fun for the player.

Well I haven't done much work on the US file for a while,but the pics are with certainty of two different people.Try look it up at www.generals.dk (under the US section) that might help explaining that.(I can see btw.that none of the pics are mine...:)

Why all that work...if you move the cursor over the generals names then their traits will display....quite smart btw.:)

I have a feeling that if we are to get a propaganda for Slovakia that will be the entry.Slovakia is another carefully deleted part of the history,.....:)

Actually it was not a party. It was called Slovenska Narodna Rada (Slovak National Council; SNR).

It's good to be a Slav... :)

To answer the second first. "All that work" is because when you click on the "name" button at the top of the officer list, they are arranged according to their traits. It is very helpful when picking generals for a specific type of duty. Also quite smart.:)

And the Collins boys:

Collins, Major-General James Lawton (1882-1963):
28-32: Military Attaché to Rome
37-38: Commanding Officer 6th Field Artillery Regiment
39-40: Commanding Officer 2nd Field Artillery Brigade
40-41: Commanding General 2nd Division
41 : Commanding General Puerto Rico Sector
41-43: Commanding General Puerto Rico Department
43-44: Director of Administration War Department
44-46: Commanding General 5th Service Command
46 : Retired
Top

Collins, Lieutenant-General Joseph Lawton (1896-1963):
41 : Chief of Staff VII Corps
41-42: Chief of Staff Hawaiian Department
42-43: Commanding General 25th Division, Guadalcanal-New Britain
44-45: Commanding General VII Corps, North-West Europe
47-49: Vice Chief of Staff US Army
49-53: Chief of Staff US Army
53-55: US Representative NATO Military Committee
55-56: Special US Representative to Republic of Vietnam
56 : Retired

Collins, Brigadier-General Leroy Pierce (1883-1981):
39-41: Assistant Commandant Field Artillery School
42 : Commanding Officer 18th Field Artillery Brigade
42 : Commanding 59th Field Artillery Brigade
42-45: Commanding General US Forces Northern Ireland

above from the site you posted in your last reply, (thanks).
In the usa.csv, Collins, L.P. has a pic listed as "Collins,_Lawton
I think That is a mistake.
And I disagree with you regarding the pictures you mention. I think they are two pictures of the same man. (Lawton Collins)
 
Found two mistakes in HOI 1.05 Bulgarian files:
1. In the Minister file remove ID19092 Vasil Boydev as Chief of Army - he was a Chief of Air Force until 1941 and later Commander of 5th Army, but never served as a Chief of Army or in the General Staff.
2. In the Leaders file ID14029 Michov and ID14030 Mihov are one and the same person. I suggest you remove Michov - this picture is poorer in quality.
 
US General B.O.Davis incorrect

Have had a chance to play HOI 1.05, and even though I'm only into my first game, I really enjoy the changes.

I noticed a mistake in the leader list for the US. There are two major generals which I believe to be confused, and which are generally inaccurate.

First, there is a faceless B. O. Davis in the army list. This has to be Benjamin O. Davis sr, the only African-American general officer in WW2. B.O Davis jr was the leader of the 99th squadron (the "Tuskegee Airmen") and later became the commander of the 332 Fighter Group based in Italy. B.O Davis jr could be included as an air force major general, and given the "Red Tail Devils" success in escorting bombing missions in Italy he might be worthy of a level 2 and Superior Tactician.

The other problem lies with a general called O'Davies. The picture for this general is that of Benjamin O. Davis sr. Given the similarity between the names "B.O.Davis" and "O'Davies", I suspect these two are confused.

Here's a link to one of many sites about Benjamin O. Davis jr: http://www.aviation-history.com/airmen/davis.htm

If you do 1, DO NOT renumber ID's Birch... I use them for alot of files in the .incs... If you delete him, let me know
 
The Collins boys revisited!!

Birch, I was all set to post a reply here saying I was again wrong with regard to the pictures and information attached to "J.L. Collins and L.P. Collins".
Now I'm not sure. Here's what I found after posting my last reply.

The Collins family from New Orleans not only had the very capable WW2 Lt. General -Joseph Lawton "Lightning Joe" Collins. But a second son as well: Major General James Lawton Collins.

The J.L. Collins listed in the usa.csv is listed as a Major General, but his pic is labeled "Collins_Joseph". Thats good old "Lightning Joe".

L.P. Collins is listed as a Lt. General with multi traits, and a skill level of 4, (someone you sure want on your team) but with a pic labeled Collins_Lawton. hmmmm. That could be either James or Joseph. (You getting as confused as much as I).

"L.P. Collins" above may well be Leroy Pierce Collins, a Brigadier General who sat out the second half of the war in Northern Ireland.

My conclusion is:
1. Change the name Collins L.P. to Collins Joseph. That would give "Lightning Joe" the correct rank, skill and traits.

2. Change Collins J.L. to Collins James and change his pic to one of the no picture available. (I couldn't find a pic of him online.)

1)Nope that is correct,but he might have done that.You should remember that some of these replacements actually not happened,but are could have happened...and it's a nice pic--:)

2)Yep your are right.that is the same Michov have now gone...didn't I get both pics from you...:D

Regarding 1) again.From what I
ve read about the Bulgarian generals,Boydev was quite a political general.so I guess that's why he has been included as CoA (he actually has been since 1.00....so I think he will stay as replacement(that actually gives the Bulgarian player opportunity to select each trait)

Yes again I'm a little in the wilderness,because I have only worked on the US file once,and I'm going to completely rewrite that.but you have a good point and now since you have given me a pic of jr...:D I jave changed Davis .B.O., to air and mjg and suptact.The other was as you know quite an active general,(normandy etc.) and we have him in the Liberian file as well as he served there until 1939 as I recall.

I have to say that jr,indeed seemed to be a brave man,standing so close to ex-president Ford....how easily he could have been tripped over...:D
