This is the place I post the bulk of the info regarding my mods - known issues, ideas, etc.

You can get more regular updates, and maybe even teasers for future mods (as well as being able to give your feedback to me directly). I rely heavily on your feedback to improve the mod, so please keep it coming!


- This mod is an attempt to recreate an historical event. As such it depicts historical people, actions and events which may be pretty heinous. As the mod creator I DO NOT endorse any of the extreme ideologies, actions or beliefs that it depicts. The main goal of the mod is to present an authentic scenario of Operation: Overlord for historical and gameplay purposes.

- The mod has been made by me alone. While I have had some help with the mod, there still may be some silly errors/problems with the mod. I have taken a lot of time to try to quash these issues but I suck at the game and even more so at micro so when I was testing I imagine there is a lot of stuff that I missed.



Welcome to my biggest mod to date, Operation: Overlord. As a sort of 'sequel' to Scenario: Stalingrad it operates on pretty much the same concept. With lessons I learned from 'Stalingrad', I present to you this mod; Overlord.

This mod, like Scenario: Stalingrad, is unique in that it puts you in charge either the Allied Expeditionary Force or the Army Group B in Northern France between 1943 and 1945. The mod focuses solely on this region, with a map that is around 22x zoomed in from vanilla. It covers a wider area than my previous mods, while maintaining more or less the same level of detail.

In addition, the zoomed map means I have conffered some general changes to the way the game is played:


- Divisions have now been split into battalions that use less manpower and equipment.

-Wide rivers have been converted into 'lakes', with specially designed 'bridges' to cross them. These are key points on the map, so guard them well!

- Movement speed is increased to match the zoomed map. Watch for encirclements!

- Aircraft range is increased. The speed in which they are transferred is also increased.

- Supply centers have had their range increased. Unit supply usage has been increased in general since Stalingrad.

- Focuses are shortened, and the game is designed to last until (roughly) from March 1943 to winter 1944-45.

-Game speed is greatly reduced, allowing you to manage the battle hour by hour (and practically minute by minute)

Other features of this mod include:

-An 'Influence' and 'Cohesion' system for Germany and the Allies respectively. Manage your cohesion as the Allies, or stave off the encroaching influence of Hitler as the Germans!

-Historical railways as per maps of Northern France/Southern England.

-Historical OOBs and leaders for the Normandy campaign.

-Around 150 total events that affect gameplay or tell the story of Operation: Overlord.

-Vanilla decisions and advisors reworked to function in a shorter and smaller map

-Focus trees with both historical and alt-historical elements

-'Ending' events, that are my unique take on the Super-Event concept.

-A selection of music for Germany and the Allies to enhance immersion, as part of a special radio-player within the mod.

-The map has been designed from the ground up using 1;1 satellite imagery and a range of historical maps. There are far more victory points than in my previous mod.

-An extensive repetoire of Allied and German commanders who played a part in the Normandy campaign.

And lots more - discover for yourself!



In June of 1944, the Allies finally launch their long-awaited cross-channel invasion. Caught off-guard, the Germans quickly find themselves being pushed back by a better-trained and equipped force. Not to mention the stifling dominance in air and sea power the Allies possess. The Allied nations are here for a single purpose - rid Europe of the tyranny of Nazi occupation. And now, with their forces pouring into Northern France, that dream can now become a reality.

This operation is the culimation of months, if not years, of planning. With some of the finest minds across the Allied nations contributing, this invasion is perhaps the largest cross-channel ever seen in human history.

The Germans, on the other hand, have been faintly aware of these plans. It is true that they posses a numerical superiority. But with the requirement of protecting a coastline that stretches from Norway in the north to the French-Spanish border in the south, are they stretched too thin? Only time will tell with the coming of OPERATION: OVERLORD.



I don't just accept constructive criticism, I encourage it! As previously mentioned, I have developed this mod on my own. While i have done quite a bit of testing to purge any issues, I am certain there will be ones I have not yet found. This is mainly because I actually suck at playing HOI4. So please let me know what suggestions you have/problems you have found with the balance/etc.


-This is a total overhaul mod, and as such incompatible with basically every other mod. The only areas I have not really touched are sound and certain aspects of GUI. Combine mods at your own risk!

-I have designed this mod using All DLC, and recommend this for the best experience. However it will still function for those of you without BBA. I am currently working to make the mode more compatible for players without other DLCs as well.
