SFUM (Special Forces Units Mod)

Description
***This mod is no longer being updated or worked on. Allthough i may restart development in the future.***

***If you wish to use any of the meterials in this mod for your own mod, you may do so, on the condition that a link to your mod is left in the comments section and that ~FREANKEEK~ (the author) is credited***

SFUM is here to add both new special forces and appropriate line units to enhance your hoi4 game!

When I started playing hoi4 I was surprised to find that I quite liked the new division designer. However I felt a little let down that some units could not be added to airborne units because of a lack of air drop capability. After looking around the forums and steam workshop for a bit and seeing what others have been doing I decided to make some units myself to fill the gap until other mods such as black ice get started (big fan of that mod in hoi3 BTW). Having never modded any paradox game before, this was quite the undertaking. So I have been learning new methods to the modding madness in general and I have been challenged by both the complexity's of HOI4 and the fact that there is not much help for new modders at the moment because even the modding gurus are still working out how to mod stuff. If you would like to use anything from this mod please ask and add me to you credits!

NOTE: This mod mods the infantry and artillery tech tree! this may conflict with mods that mod those techs!
Known Conflicts:
"Naval Rework Mod" - Looking into it

If you want to play with the motorized artillery units mod as well there is now a merged mod of SFUM and the Motorized Artilery Mod.
