I'm taking a close look at the German (military) leaders file for HoI2 v.1.2. (I presume that the upcoming v.1.3 patch will not change this file). I'm finding several inconsistencies, like the start year for a leader (let's take for example ID 340: von Schlieben) being different from his Rank 1 year. I guess these must be errors as I cannot think of a plausible reason why the years should be different.

Has anybody else taken a look into this? Any opinions? If this is new stuff (which I sincerely doubt), I'd be willing to make the corrections and upload the cleaned-up file. It may well be that there already exists a thread about it but I was unsuccessful stringing together a good search on Google. If so I'd appreciate if you could post a link to that thread. Thanks a lot!

Hi Hallsten, nice to see you again!
Hallsten said:
It must be a mistake, rank 1 year and start year must be the same.
Exactly my thoughts you are echoing :)

As to working, well, I have noticed that irrespective of what the rank 1 year is, the leader will show up only in the start year. So then the question would be: Which one is the correct year... :wacko:

And I will also examine the new 1.3 leader file, maybe there are some changes after all. Let's see if this thread gains a bit of momentum and again, I would be willing to put out a corrected leader file. I will possibly have a few more ideas for it (changing some silly/stupid/wrong names).
