First of all, may I take this opportunity and salute this forum's community for the efforts they undertake to keep the Romanian Military History alive and kicking. God knows we need to have of little of some military bravery and gallantry back these days.

I'll be blunt: I need this community's support in a certain endeavor I decided to embark upon. Some of you may be familiarized with Hearts of Iron 3 - a strategy game that deals with WW2, where Romania is also presented, although very poorly. It is my intention to use my skills both as a military and as a game modder to give my country the attention it needs and deserves.

Should someone be interested, here's a link to my initial work, for your kind consideration:
HOI3

What I'm trying to achieve:
- an accurate representation of Romanian realities, from military, diplomatic, cultural, social and political points of view, starting with 1936 and until 1945;
EXAMPLE:
- a comprehensive chain of events, game implementable, which reveal Romania's struggle for the period;
- accurate Romanian military OOB, to replace the Google-translated one they used in the game. For instance, Romanian Sea Fleet is translated by "Flota Romania de Mare".
- accurate Romanian military equipment, units, operations, supported by pictures and technical descriptions.

I found a lot of helpful details on these threads, but two heads are better than one, and four are better than two. So this is what I need from you:

- suggestions, ideas, thread re-directions, anything that will help me compile the 1936-1945 Romanian chain of events (even a "don't forget to implement the 1937 motorized artillery upgrade event!" would be much appreciated);
- good quality pictures and the kind acceptance for me to use them in the mod, should they come from private collections;
- availability to answer field-related questions;

I do this for the sole purpose of restoring Romania's role in WW2 for the game in question, as it is treated - I am sorry to say - with far more indifference than it deserved. My work is completely non-profit and proper credit will be given, where due, to the contributors.

So, please, feel free to react! smile.gif

Good luck with your project, but a lot of people has issues with HoI 3 and prefer HoI2 instead, for which a number of mods has been created. Myself had a small contribution to World in Flames mod for HoI2, which I find the best of its kind.

Being disappointed with HoI3, in the future I think I will focus on Arsenal of Democracy, about which I heard good things.
