I sense you are frustrated over something? Is there something you want to tell me?
I had the same problem it is to do with no saved game file in the mod. Follow the instructions on the 1st page.
Just wondering about what you're focusing on. Which countries are receiving your attention atm?
NoI wanna to know what you will do in this situation.
OK, well it has been a while since I thought anything about FDR?
I would tend to go along with the story that there has been a coup in the US, the coup-plotters have started the war with Canada, which of course has been a disaster!
FDR is probably hidden away under house arrest or possibly in a military prison on some base in the backwoods somewhere, but far from any access to anyone. Probably the story given out is that he has suffered a breakdown, and is under medical care...?
I think, FDR being a noble and loyal American, and a decent guy, would be thinking and planning a counter-coup, to get back his Presidency asap. With the war going badly, he may have his chance. The coup-plotters may skip town as the Brits arrive and take over...
I don't really know, as I've just been busy with other stuff.
WHAT DO YOU THINK would be happening?
OK, well I have 18 new units. I've added them to the mod, am enjoying seeing them pop-up here and there.
Currently, I'm back doing events for ENG and JAP after the North American war.
I have been doing some work on the CSA, cosying up and investing in GER.
DH1.03 has and is causing changes to the mod, as defenders seem to defend better, wars seem to drag on, where before they didn't.
I have changed build times for land and naval, so this is also causing differences.. like the US now defends better as it has armies produced and in the field, whereas before, it was still building them, when it surrendered... was taking way too long...
Before, the mod was really just a framework, so I'm trying to tie it together better, and follow paths that arise .. like the Chinese Warlords acting independently and doing unexpected things from time to time... as a Warlord would do.
My game is bugged Ò.ó because when I start USA have the ministers of DH 1936,don't have any coup.Dammit!
NO NO!
Your game is OK!
I wasn't saying what I had done, I was saying what I surmised would be happening...
I haven't touched ANY MINISTERS OR LEADERS in the mod... so play, your mod is fine!
cheers
Well,basically,I will start a general mobilization,calling all man from 15 - 80 years ( and people with mental ills and Cancer) to fight,after crushing Canada and Mexico,I will sues for Peace,if they don't accept,i will desmobilize a giantic part of army,and let only garrisons in naval provinces,to fight an war on Caribbean until I can make a good peace deal.
Sorry for not playing your mod yet Novapaddy and giving my feedback it will be done soon!
And sorry for the wall of text, i couldn't think of how best to point it
After the USA war resolves and the SCW resolves i imagine the world will enter into a tense stalemate. IRL Chamberlain was mostly responsible for the failed appeasement policy that led to a prolonged war with Germany. In Homeland I'm not sure if Chamberlain has the same personality but if he does surely he would lead Britain into isolation to a point as Britain recovers from the war and sends aid to Canada and the US colonies to help them repair. I don't see Britain physically entering a war until 1941 at the earliest, if that is the case then i think that the leaders of Britain would want to remove the communist threat more then the fascist/national socialist one because of the nature of communism at the time. The problem with this is however that although Japan is in the perfect position to strike the far east USSR successfully (and would pressure Britain into attacking from the west) where would Britain actually attack? Russia can only be accessed from the Baltic sea or the Artic ocean which would lead to supply problems if Leningrad isn't taken before winter comes to freeze the convoys. There is also the poor security of the Baltic way because of Poland and BEEF. From what i see there are two ways of dealing with this problem.
1) Britain must use it's time of peace to either peacefully ally with Norway, Sweden and Finland. Or coup them.... That way supplies can be shipped to many ports and be sent from Scandinavia to Russia for the troops, it would also spread the Russian men slightly more thinly across the Finnish border rather then concentrated in North Russia. It would also put more men into the war because of the Scandinavian nation's armies. After the war resolves i don't think that Britain would take any land but form a puppet in the centre around Moscow-Smolensk area. This could be called Muscovy. The North including Leningrad should be annexed by Finland directly as a thank you. Sweden and Norway will not be rewarded with land but will have the unique opportunity to form a Scandinavian empire at Britain's insistence. the empire would become a puppet of Britain as it forcefully watches over the nation that provides the link to it's Russian puppet. If refused Britain can help Sweden take Estonia which used to be part of it's empire, it may even back the taking of Latvia by Sweden too. Denmark (including Iceland) and Finland would get the chance to join the union if they wanted but if they do the union is not Britain's puppet due to Finnish and Dane resistance to the idea.
The Far east coast is annexed by Japan, Maybe Mongolia joined Japan in the fight? Perhaps Japan may be generous and grant it some of Siberia. Or maybe it will not care and set up a Siberian puppet anyway? Either way Russia in Central Asia, the Urals and the Caucasus is left to descend into a chaotic civil war in the aftermath where communism may rise again, true democracy may come to be or perhaps the old Romanov's would be welcome to return if they promise to take Russia back to it's powerful seat.
2) The second option for Britain is to invade through Iran/Persia/Central Asia/Caucasus. This may mean that Britain triggers a 1940 Arab spring as it tries to topple Iran without declaring war and causing an incident. The Spring would be smaller, only affecting Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Persia with the chance of it becoming larger and spreading to Turkey, Iraq, French Syria, Afghanistan or even Britain's ally in Oman. Other then the size of the uprising it would strike quickly with Britain having no fear of pumping weapons and money into the nations to secure the region ready for it's men to arrive and invade the Soviets from the South. If the spring is totally successful the British raj would be able to annex Afghanistan (no cores as the problems there have always been there all the way back to Alexander). Saudi Arabia would become a puppet and annex Yemen ( regardless of the outcome of the Yemen uprising), Aden and maybe more if your generous. Iraq and Persia could be joined to create a union of some sorts that could include Jordan and parts of eastern Turkey depending on the results there. It may also include north eastern Syria too.
If the Arab fails or has limited effect (depends on if the internal wars (not civil wars) were successful or not) Britain may have to look at invading them out right or lure the Soviets into attacking them to which it jumps to aid them.
Maybe both could happen as the worlds richest empire decides where to spend it's spare money after building hordes of ships and planes

You shouldn't comment on a mod if you haven't played it, as you say stuff like "I don't see Britain physically entering a war until 1941 at the earliest..."
In this mod, on day ONE, GB is already at war with the USA since July 1935.
GB and JAP are Allies.
They win the war in America, and there is a new world order.. heard that before?
GB and JAP then go for Russia, in Asia, not Europe, that's probably after already sorting out China.
THAT is all the major enemies sorted .. then there might be Peace?
But of course FRA has other plans in Europe. They are still hunting their "reparations" and allied with the BEEF (who are they?) they seek to finally destroy GER.
GER, ITA and SPA are Allies.
GER and GB are Friends...
GER and CSA are approaching being Allies, probably now allied with a resurgent USA...??
Nah, I think you should play the mod...
EDIT; some of the above hasn't happened yet, so if you play, don't expect it until version 2.0

Hello Novapaddy
Finally I got it, I've exported as PNG and then with IrfanView rditor've had to BMP and works.
Just iron out a few things I have, since I left cum divisions, ie mounted on each other but that is a matter of taste and little else.
* Look what the tutorials of GIMP 2.8 and this version can not be saved as bmp.
Thank you so much for your help, anything you need I'm at your disposal.
I have events of all units (or almost all) who participated in the Second World War and that could be adapted to the game, (SS Units, German Allies, etc). ORIGINAL deployments also drives conflict.
You know at your disposal.
A big hello

Good to hear you got it sorted!
Yeah, I just checked, my GIMP is version 2.6, and I read just now that 2.8 is slower to use.. so I won't be upgrading to version 2.8.
I suggest you go back to version 2.6.
Cheers
I KNEW IT! I KNEW FDR WASN'T EVIL! PS; This story of the U.S. being coup is Cool, you sould make it a U.S. story arc.OK, well it has been a while since I thought anything about FDR?
I would tend to go along with the story that there has been a coup in the US, the coup-plotters have started the war with Canada, which of course has been a disaster!

UPDATE;
I've now completed making new units. I've made 17 in all. I think the list is a page or two back? I got the Combined Arms working (kinda) but not exactly what I had in mind originally. I left out the SOV Shock troops, as basically the Guard Tank or Guard Rifle would suffice.
Now, back to doing a better AI and more events and sorting out the problems... On to Version 2.0!
I don't understand the need for a combined arms division. Mechanized divisions historically always filled that role. That's the reason they exist, because they combine motorized and armoured troops.
The Combined Arms Division is a coming together of tanks and aircraft, and is just for the Americans alone.
I believe that the US Army was the first to put phones at the rear of its tanks, so the infantry could talk to the guys inside the tanks, but not only that, air-support for armour was an American idea?
So, it is not a mechanised unit. It is tanks and aircraft working together to punch a hole in the enemy lines.
Nova, I can see a scenario where CSA and USA Merge into one country that is against Mexico, Japan and British Empire
Would you believe, I spent almost 6 hours trying every which way I could think of, to get the AI to do a jobbie for me, and in the end, I solved the last problem, by changing 1.0, to 2.0... and it worked!
Yes nsr433, I see many possibilities for FUN in this mod, and am actively pursuing lots of "avenues"... For instance Chinese Warlords .. they never really join up China, and become "China". This gives me lots of opportunities for "devilment" in Asia.
CSA is another case. They are right-wing, are investing in Germany, may become close friends with GER? But in the end they are Americans, and when the time comes, who knows what opportunities may arise to get back their lands in North America. You may be forgetting Canada...
I don't think Canada is going to be the pushover it was thought of at the beginning. I'm sure there must have been plenty of JAP and Chinese immigration to pump up the population, and enable Canada to better defend itself.. as well as being rich, a Commonwealth country and very close to GB.
Looks like a Chinese Warlord made a big mistake by invading and taking Hong Kong. He obviously thought that with GB at war in North America, he could do as he liked.. but he forgot about Australia, India and New Zealand, who were just passing and dropped in for a quick chow mein...
NOW, GB doesn't have to think about what to do next after the American War.. because with Guangxi taken, they have a firmer foothold in Asia and can assist their new buddies (JAP) take on whomever...
China and Russia quake at the prospect... :ninja:
