Black Ice Division Comp.
I havent played Black Ice in ages but given how horrible hoi4 im giving it another go. I have the latest version, are all the old compositions still valid?
-I seem to remember building my Infantry armies as Germany with Light Infantry instead of regular, is this still the case? If so should I also use Pack art. instead of regular?

I would provide you some help but I never managed to get that to work/install properly.

You really need to try it if you enjoy hearts of iron 3 at all. HOI3 alone i thought was good but with this mod it is one of the best strategy games ive ever played. I used this to help:

Step by step how to install it. Kind of a pain but worth it.

I agree you should try it. I thought some divisions were useless though tbh.

Got it working so many thanks, however I did happen to forget that the original game had a fair bit of micro which increases with the mod.

Time to forget sleep and dive back in.

What is the difference between Blackice 2.5 Historical overhaul mod and Blackice 9?

Not really sure. I think the blackice 2.5 overhaul is for HOI 4, the link i sent was for HOI 3. Its a lot of setting up your OOB and armies but to me its a lot more fun. With HOI4 I almost feel like im just watching the war play out instead of being involved.

In HOI3 you actually create armies with Corps, Armies, Army Groups and Theater command HQs. Its kind of a pain in the ass to learn but once you do you really feel like you are commanding the armies. The AI doesnt do all of the combat for you.

I watched a lot of videos on how to start out, the most daunting part is all of the starting decisions but once you get past that its a lot better.
