Any mods for Croatian units and other stuff

[vinnie71]

Hi all

Not a modder and does not understand anything about modding...

Just curious. Is there a mod that introduces the Croatian units (and other rather specific units) found in the Danube scenarios. in the main scenarios? And maybe even one that opens up Yugoslavia to gameplay?

Croatian units

There are 369th Regiment and 369th+369th Croatian Infantry Divisions available if that's what you mean?!

Not really. I am thinking about the Croatian units found in the '44 scenario Fire on the Danube. Its the Croatian army proper rather than German raised Croatian units like those you mentioned.

Let's face it, in real life, after the removal of Italian units, the Croatian units were providing both static garrison units and mobile forces in ex Yugoslavia. It was pretty large, ending the war with multiple divisions (18)/brigades. Also, it is interesting that the scenario also features small German naval contingents, SS police regiments and other small units that do not feature in the main game.

So is there a possibility to bring them in the main game?

Okay. Well that's are what the TBs are there for - so the units would just be inside the TB unless you want them to be able to move around everywhere.
Yes you can add any unit into any scenario by simply creating/copying it.

Really?

Sorry I'm next to illiterate in such stuff. Is there a tutorial on how to do so?

Hi,
If you check out Youtube there is a series of about a dozen videos explaining the editor by sections. Search "WITE2 Editor tutorial" which covers most of it.

You need to make a copy of the main campaign then create units and TOEs for the Croat forces from formation in 1941 and then the 1942-43 reorganisations linking them and then link them lastly to the existing TOEs for Croatia 1944 already exist in the Danube scenario that you mentioned earlier, then possibly some amendments in events and Balkan TB plus look at how you will implement partisans.

Sounds really daunting at first but once you have a go at editing with trial and error it slowly starts to make sense. I was able to use the process and add Bulgaria to the map with their army and air force and additional units in the Balkan TB.
