HOI2 essential downloads

[johan183]

Hello people,

as I am about to install a fresh copy of HOI2 on my computer for the second time in 3 days (blew the graphics with some strange mixing of the Stony Road and TRP mod), I was thinking of making a thread with essential downloads for every fresh install of HOI2. (the ones that do not disrupt the game in any way, just the visual appearence, except for the patches of course...)

The obvious ones:

1.3A PATCH:
http://www.paradoxplaza.com/hoi2_v1.3a.exe

1.3B Enhancment:
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=220162

1.3B USSR GDE fix
http://www.europa-universalis.com/forum/showthread.php?t=229135

and then

Scythh graphics pack: (great improvment on vanilla models)
http://www.hoi2icon.prv.pl/

Keymapper by Packman - remap the pause to some other more accesible key

OK, that was for starters, the first things that came into my mind. If you have anything to add, please do.

Great list. I use several of those myself.

I would add http://abo.baw-clan.de/forum/dload.php?action=file&file_id=8 for great HoI1 sprites. It isn't perfect, but it sure is better than vanilla HoI2 sprites for the most part.

You forgot the 1.3b USSR GDE fix here...
