French Generals 1939-1945 (Updated for BBA)

Description
This mod is a complete remake of "French Generals 1939-1945", updated for Hearts of Iron IV:No Step Back. It adds Generals to France based on the Historical French Order of Battle for 1940 and 1942-1945, including a mix of coloured and black & white portraits with custom/reworked stats based on François de Lannoy & Max Schiavon's books.

The colour portraits were done by Karlefeldt, author of the "Additional Portraits" mod, the Kaiserreich team and various artists such as Abbus, Mstae67, Retroliser and Tarasque. Please make sure to contact me if you find yourself not credited for your art, thank you for your work.

This mod is a small offshoot of a bigger overhaul of France I'm currently working on in my spare time. As a result, the roster may be subject to sudden changes such as the addition, removal or stats tweaking of a Characters. Because military advisors and commanders are now defined by the same file, this mod may not be compatible with mods and overhauls interacting with the French history and character files.

Please report any bug in the comment section, enjoy.

Bonjour,
Merci pour le travail ! Ce mod est indispensable pour une partie avec la France. Est-ce possible de faire une mise à jour pour le DLC Arms Againts Tyranny ? Merci d'avance ;)

Ce serait possible d'ajouter des officiers de terrain? :steamhappy:

is your mod compatible with the 56 mod?

@Karina Pétain had retired from the military during WW2

Should be updated for BBA. Three colour portraits were added (for Colson, Larminat and Vauthier), done by Abbus. General Olry is also no longer impersonated by someone else. Please report any bug and make sure to unsuscribe, delete the old files, resubscribe if the mod doesn't show up in your launcher or does not work ingame.

@Karina i don't think it should be added since he wasnt leading anything in WW2

It needs an update. To be speciffic, you need to update history file to BBA. There are no starting fighters and no aviation tech are researched.

@Alzen Very unlikely since the Expert AI mod modifies, and thus overwrites, pretty much every file related to country management in order to railroad the AI decisionmaking.
