Soviet Guards,Waffen SS & Kriegsmarine miniMod

[terminator]

Hello,
While playing to Order of Battle Blitzkrieg came to me this idea : Why do not to make waffen ss a nation for part ?
I quickly made this mod (a few hours).
You can now recruit waffen SS units (cost+10).
I did not change the SE units so this mod is fully compatible with all the scenario.

Can you be interested, I made a modification of the mod PHCAS that can be used with all the German campaigns.
SS (and Hungarian) units can be purchased

Attractive screenshots !
Is there a link to download your mod ?

[daon]

It is finished for 1939-1943.
For the end of the war I still have quite a lot of "BigUnit" to do
Before putting a download link I would like to have the agreement of PHCAS

If it is a modification of another mod then it is problematic.

Somebody interested in a new nation?

I think is a fantastic idea Terminator.
Although I wouldnt have time to play it, I would love if you finish this mini-mod. I think a lot of people would try it through the Grand Campaigns.

Just a question... If you start in a map with no port with Kriegsmarine flag... How it would be possible for the player to buy the first unit (with this unit, I think you will be able to "occupy" other ports to obtain new purchasing places in the same map)?
Thanks for sharing!

You have to start a map with a port if you want to buy and deploy ship (ship can not capture other ports, ground unit can).
The solution is to place port in edges of map (port = marine anchor).

Here is an example before deployement :

And after the deployement:

Boats can be repaired in this place.

So... It is not possible to use this mod in the existing campaign maps (which do no not have "Kriegsmarine nation" ports or "virtual ports" in map's edge). Perhaps it would a nice idea to add a Kriegsmarine infantry unit (with sea transport, of course) in order to allow the Kriegsmarine to occupy its own ports to make repairs or upgrades to its ships. On the other hand... Is it easy (or just possible) to open in the editor the map of the first scenario in any existing campaign and add a Kriegsmarine port? If not, this interesting mod would only work for custom made campaigns... (I am not interested in a separate "SS" nation, but a "Kriegsmarine" nation is a very interesting idea for me).

Here is a possible icon for the Kriegsmarine Infantry...

Hi guille1434,
If you use "share flags", it is possible to deploy "Kriegsmarine ships" in Germany port.

A strange thing, is that we can deploy boats next to cities if cities are placed by the sea.

Thank you for the marines

[terminator]

If you don't want to deploy boats next to cities placed by the sea, you have to change "Sea -> Shallow Sea" :

Deployement and moving impossible for boats :

Another strange thing, is that we can deploy boats next to Airports if Airports are placed by the sea such as cities.

Ok, I see... that makes things better... Where is to be found the "share flags" function to enable it? Thanks for the explanation!
