Hi all, I have had a very long period of rest from HoI2 (1.5+ years), but now that I am reading a book about the battle of Kursk (by Zetterling et al) I have a sudden urge to move mighty panzer armies back and forth :)

I have not kept up to date on the various mods. So what mods are currently "the shit" concerning the following areas:

1) Graphics mods (I play with counters, so sprites aren't needed) - are there various ones by different people, or one single considered superior? I remember there are both mods for the unit icons and separate map mods (that change colors, AA guns etc). Which are currently the best of these?

2) General gameplay mod - what I want is something that forces players to build other stuff than just plain vanilla inf. From what I remember from HoI2, you could basically win as the Soviets with an infantry-only approach, which is very unrealistic. Any mods that fix this, and other issues?

3) Germany-only mod - basically I want a mod that is tailored for a human controlled Germany playing only against the AI. Any such good mods around?
