I notice also a small graphic glitch regarding Croatia
The roundel is actually a Romanian one
If you want I can have a look and modify it, or maybe just change Croatia ID# to match the graphic file

If you do the Turkey and Yugoslavia / Greece things you should add this info in your starting post.
Some of your changes are quite impactful (no movement penalty on forest tiles also springs to mind)
And players should know them without having to read that ever growing list of patch notes.

I also agree with others that Greece would be super easy to one tap.
Can you change them to not beeing at 0% readiness with no entrenchment on the turn they enter?
I mean historically tensions were flying high already and it was by no means a surprise for Greece.

For V1.4
For Free French, maybe exchange De Gaulle HQ by Leclerc or De Lattre (rating 5) As De Gaulle was more a political leader
For Atlantic Wall script event
Maybe add few more coatal bty
- 1 on French West coast between Brest and Arcachon
- 1 in Netherland
- 1 in Denmark
- 1 in South Norway
Allow 1 mountain unit for Algeria or Morocco to be purchased (maybe instead of the current Algerian Infantry corps).
Maybe reduce USA Tank Corps quantity from 9 to 7 (USSR can build 9 max with Guard included, so I think 9 tank corps for USA is too much)

@SIPRES

On the new NATO Counters, I noticed that the minors Special Forces unit was made into a marine unit. It should say something like SF and not marine. It looks weird that the Fins have one of these units and it has the marine symbol.
I can change no problem, I just thought as Marine infantry since they got amphib capability
If you wish and if only Finland Axis minor use the special forces slot then I can customize this particular unit with a Utti Jaeger rgt symbol?

I can also do same for UK as Commando, US as Rangers/SSF ect...
Just tell me what you would like and I think I can update the files in a few days
Thank you, also spoke to the devs about the Mirrored and it flipping. I was told that it was working as designed. So have half one color and half another color will not get the desired effect so best to make it one color.

Let me know when you have the counter adjustments made so I can add it into the 1.4 beta (and again Thank you they are really cool!)

As for the other Specials Forces

UK, USA they are Marines

France, Just Special Forces

Germany they are SS Units

USSR they are Guard Units

China they are just a Special Forces Units

All Minors just a Special Forces unit

What effect does readiness have on a minor the higher it is? For majors it increases their production but I thought for a minor it had no effect until they are actually in the war.

For the mirror option, I ve read something on the manual about orientation change during gameplay, so I will remove the "option file"

One other thing I noticed is that for France you removed the blue color they use to have. Any chance in bringing that back or to much work?

The fie name is "unit_activation_sprites" I will make the change for Croatia
This file will be OK for WIE but maybe not for WAW as I believe they are different in the vanilla version of the game.
For France I will set back to Blue (i will add an option folder with "khaki brown" France + others minors colors)

If you use the file I provide with the mod to make your changes against it is the same file I use for the World version.

I do not mean mobilization.
I mean the combat readiness of a nations units when they get attacked. All units start at 0% combat readiness and therefore are absolute pushovers during the first turn of the attack. If those units would start with like 80% then it would be a lot more difficult to insta kill Greece.

I think that is possible by using an event to increase all the greek units morale which should increase their readiness.

I think that code is in the EXE and it treats them all the same as special forces.

Lothos,
The files are ready (same Link as previous)
So I did the following change
- France Back to Blue (normal and Zoom)
- SF Symbol for France/All minors/China (normal and Zoom)
- Elite for Germany and USSR remain unchanged
- All others Nations are considered as "Marine Infantry" with relevant Nato Symbol (normal and Zoom)

There is 3 optional folders for:
- A "light Tan" allied minor
- A "Dark Green" Axis Minor
- A "Kakhi brown" French Major

I did some "polishing " mainly on the zoom versions of all Majors
I did modify the "unit activation sprite" using the file from the TRP MOD (Croatia addition and Romania change)

Et Voila

I did notice for the minors you removed all the cool planes and went back to the basic ones. I loved it that the minors had the same plane images as the Germans and all the allied minors had the same plane units as the UK.

You mean on the zoom version?
I use a very old source vector file as reference for the momment for the zoom version
I couldnt find the most recent versions on my HDD
I plan to update to the correct silhouette shortly (maybe this WE), I was just thinking its less noticeable since Zoom version is really small icons
