I did look in to 1st CID, but unfortunately they are just a "normal" infantry division. the 21st (british) tank brigade supported them, (This is with 4th ID UK in the mod) but i used the brits instead of the canadians since i added 5th Canadian armored from italy already. There was also the greek mountain brigade that fought witht hem, but eugen already used them with 2nd NZ div.

Awesome! It's a big ask (I assume, i dont know how much effort modding takes for this game), but could you look into making a stand-alone 'van doos' battlegroup? Technically they would fall under a very large operational command "first infantry division", but it would absolutely make my day to be able to just play the royal 22nd infantry. If you want to know anything that makes them unique or stand out or something, let me know, i know lots about them.

KiwiBirb  [author] 23 May @ 5:25pm 
ill take a look

3-y Gv. Mechanizi. Korpus does NOT work for me. Have reinstalled mod. when saving battlegroup, it only saves 37 activation points worth. going back into the battlegroup editor has a third of the units removed.

love the mods.... still too retarded to understand the guide to make my own divs... maybe some day I figure it out :)
KiwiBirb  [author] 18 Mar @ 7:43pm 
updated mod for compatability

note that not all vanilla changes will be implimented
初雪 14 Mar @ 9:18am 
Several new elements have been implemented in this update, could you please just reflect the following?

"added STUDEBAKER as transport option for 85mm AA guns in all Soviet divisions"
KiwiBirb  [author] 18 Feb @ 8:26pm 
I dont own the latest dlc, so i cant double check, but i think i fixed the problem with 43rd wessex. please let me know if i suceeded
PeanutSauce1441 13 Feb @ 12:36pm 
looking at the Wessex division and/or it's recon tab crashed the game for both me and a friend.
KiwiBirb  [author] 30 Jan @ 10:06pm 
Should be updated

if the mod causes any game crashes please let me know which division(s) were used so i can try to fix them
KiwiBirb  [author] 30 Jan @ 9:55pm 
Working on update, but several infantry units that were changed by the mod, specifically converted gunners and kazaki have been altered by eugen in this patch creating conflicts.

there are also several bugs with the mod generator, causing the game to not register the model files of units that eugen adds with updates, so i have to rebuild them by hand and troubleshoot them.
Lucky Stralex 24 Dec, 2024 @ 10:40am 
i would love if you could overhaul big red one. it currently is a meme divison.
KiwiBirb  [author] 18 Dec, 2024 @ 8:02pm 
it makes the 352nd infantry and the Eugen version of 7th Armored(UK) unavailable

If you dont have the normandy DLC, i dont think you can play the mod, unless you own some other DLCs with the necessary models

101st is changed to be the 82nd airborne, with the necessary unit changes to represent that division
kcin122 18 Dec, 2024 @ 7:19pm 
Also, does it delete some divisions?
kcin122 18 Dec, 2024 @ 7:17pm 
So this mod adds some divisions from the new Normandy dlc (which I do not have), are they distinct from the ones in the dlc? For instance 101st, is the one in the dlc still overhauled?
KiwiBirb  [author] 18 Dec, 2024 @ 6:14pm 
Most of the research for the base game soviet divisions was done by CalamariGhost, and the only note he made for the 97th Grd was to remove the river boat offmap in exchange for on-map katyusha
TheArtilleryHistorian 18 Dec, 2024 @ 7:20am 
Hello again, ty for the update. The 97th Guards Rifle Division doesnt have any defences, is this intended, cuz it kinda looks like a bug? ty for your hard work.
KiwiBirb  [author] 14 Dec, 2024 @ 9:21pm 
updated.
Modded Soviet divs now have gun pits.

There was also a small rework to Rifles(PIAT) that i was working on which is now live where they gained 2 men armed with stens, based on them representing a Rifle squad+Bren carrier dismount group instead of the fictional double Bren squad Eugen made up that is currently in game

As well, 90th (US) lost its unintended access to french 76mm shermans in A
KiwiBirb  [author] 14 Dec, 2024 @ 8:16pm 
oh yeah, I was kinda lazy with the defenses and just used the same ones for all the divs, I will change that
TheArtilleryHistorian 14 Dec, 2024 @ 12:52pm 
hey, I love your mod, Im not sure if this was by design but a lot of soviet divisions even infantry divisions lack gun pits in their defence tab, maybe that was forgotten.
KiwiBirb  [author] 3 Oct, 2024 @ 9:08pm 
Should be fixed with new update
PeanutSauce1441 3 Oct, 2024 @ 6:18am 
5-y Gv. Tankovy Korpus causes a crash when saving with off-map rocket arty.
KiwiBirb  [author] 26 Sep, 2024 @ 6:25pm

KiwiBirb  [author] 13 Sep, 2024 @ 8:28pm 
Mod updated, with the following changes

reworked 65 infantry into 71 infantry from nemesis 7.1

Check mod-added soviet divisions for aircraft changes
check reworked german divs for packs removed from decks
check Korps abt D, replaced pzgrenadier with mot begleit gren & changed fsJager card availability
check 77 Infantry for changed fsJager card availability
check 1 FsJ, removed StuG Fuh
check 90 Pzgren changed inf slightly

Not implimented yet but may change 16 Panzer and 1 FsJ stug to Panzerjager stug since they were organized in the PzJ abt IRL
KiwiBirb  [author] 13 Sep, 2024 @ 9:49am 
A lot of divisions have been changed based on community or my personal research, but all divisions except 352 Infantry (which was replaced in a sense by the new 272.Infantry div) are playable.

The change list can be viewed in game by reading the description of the division labelled "changelog" in the deck creation selection screen, or by reading the changelog discussion here, by clicking on the discussion thread above these comments.

also the mod is not updated RN due to the map update messing with the mod files.
Albertop32 12 Sep, 2024 @ 12:04pm 
Does it replace in game divisions or just adds more?
KiwiBirb  [author] 4 Jul, 2024 @ 10:28pm 
the models refrenced are
Black sunday (Romanian)
Tribute to italy (Italian and British tropical uniforms)

It may also require the Normandy expansions because I am unsure if owning the Italian DLC also unlocks the british standard uniforms.
ValeriBakarov 4 Jul, 2024 @ 3:37am 
Which DLCs needed for this mod?

This peaks :steamhappy::steamhappy::steamhappy::steamhappy:
KiwiBirb  [author] 24 Jun, 2024 @ 2:17am

KiwiBirb  [author] 23 Jun, 2024 @ 10:37am 
yes. should be a quick update
GrunchFuggler 21 Jun, 2024 @ 3:39am 
mod won't load due to latest game update
KiwiBirb  [author] 26 May, 2024 @ 8:55pm 
should be updated, finally. if you find any bugs, let me know and i will try and fix them
KiwiBirb  [author] 14 May, 2024 @ 4:10pm 
hello everyone. An update on the update process.

Unfortunately, Eugen did a big update to how the mod files are structured and organized with the tribute44 DLC. this has meant that many parts of the mod have been corrupted by the update tool due to wildly different parts of script being present on each line between the old version and the new restructured version.

an update is in the works, but is taking a long time
KiwiBirb  [author] 23 Apr, 2024 @ 4:35pm 
I will get on it. hoefully will be updated and compatable soon
Ghosty 23 Apr, 2024 @ 8:24am 
Update needed. Keep getting error message when trying to apply.
KiwiBirb  [author] 18 Mar, 2024 @ 3:57pm 
hmm, that is not intended, i will probably put out an update to fix that
Tango Olis 18 Mar, 2024 @ 1:22am 
Arado 234s got removed, right? Can't find them.
KiwiBirb  [author] 15 Mar, 2024 @ 12:17am 
here you can find a zip with the mod backup
if you know how to mod you can put this in a blank mod's backup folder and use retrievemodbackup bat to extract and edit a version for yourself

Please credit me if you do

On the sd2 official discord, in the mod discussions channel Search "my mod backup" to find if the link does not work

someone asked about pzvb stratchwitz, division tatara and alarmtruppen
(But, i accidentally clicked delete on their comment, sorry) i did not know i could do this it was an accundent

but, here is my answer:

strachwitz is overhauled to the best of my ability. and is as accurate as possible

tatara was ad-hoc, I do not have any sources for it so it was left as-is

alarmtruppen are named after the division, alarm division winkler (this is the name on german maps/in doccuments from 1944) and i believe the division is mostly built from the remnants of feldausbuildungs division 153, flak division 5 and security/police personel.

the ones in group kessel are from several more alarm battalions which were also raised under similar circumstances, ie rear security personel and units on leave

since these are generally not frontline troops, they are disheartened, but also some regular cards of grenadier are featured, maybe some units on leave and instructors/veterans
KiwiBirb  [author] 30 Jan, 2024 @ 11:28pm 
added 4 new romanian divisions - 2 allied and 2 axis.

I also updated some fw190f8 bombers & pe2 rocket planes, which may temporarily remove them from previously built decks.
KiwiBirb  [author] 12 Nov, 2023 @ 12:11am 
changed lvii Pz corps name to Alarm division winkler and removed gebirgsjager, adding 1 card pak43

Changed the attck profile of Ju87 stukas to be a gliding dive instead of a loop, as the loop was not used by the luftwaffe after 1941 and instead they were used as glide bombers.
this also makes them more likely to drop their bombs before being supressed
KiwiBirb  [author] 22 Oct, 2023 @ 8:02pm 
replaced fw190 panzerblitz with fw190 AT cluster bombers as panzerblitz were not used in sd2's time frame

also changed Pak43 in 5cav to Pak40 as i got the equipment of the german at battalion wrong
