Anyone who recently checked out the Cold war mod thread by Plasmakrab will have noticed some rather curious posting from me there. Some of you, four to be precise. Have even got a chance to check it out.

What is it? I hear you ask; well it is first and foremost a combination of the late war (WWII) German OOB and the West German OOB in the place of the Danish OOB. It is compatible with the latest version of Winspmbt and all the shp files provided are up to date as well. Thrown into the mix are speculative designs (including some of the "E" Series tanks) and Plasmakrab's late cold war German units. This is topped off with some interim units that are purely speculative.

The late war units present are as follows:

# Panzer IV G
# Panzer IV H
# Panzer IV J (I also created a variant with the initial K, Pz. IV K, as a replacement for the earlier Pz. IV series and to simulate an attempt at a stop gap measure to upgrade the tank fleet just after the war ended).
# Panzer III J
# Panzer III M
# Panzer III N (all Panzer IIIs are presently maintained until 1960 as light tanks for policing actions, they have undergone mild improvements so duplicate vehicles that have been improved replace the ones listed here in the 50s).
# Panther D
# Panther G
# Panther F
# Panther II (E-75 replaced by Leopard series).
# Loewe (A forerunner of the Kingtiger).
# Koenigstiger (replaced later by Kaisertiger and Mammut E-100 based vehicles).
# Stug. III G
# Stug. IV
# Hummel
# All the Jpz IVs (I think).
# Jagdtiger and Jagdpanther.
# Hetzer (PAK and Flamethrower).
# Flammpanzer III
# Wirbelwind
# Ostwind
# SdKfz 7/2 FlaK
# SdKfz 7/1 FlaK
# SdKfz 10/2 FlaK
# SdKfz. 251 (Mortar, Camo, Grey, Stuka zu Fuss, light Pak, heavy Pak, Stummel, flamethrowing, Speculative late war turreted variants).
# SdKfz. 250 (250/1, 250/9, 250/10).
# SdKfz. 222
# SdKfz. 221/2
# SdKfz 234/1
# SKfz 234/2 Puma
# SdKfz 234/4
# Opel Blitz (+ speculative improvements).
# Buessing-NAG (+ speculative improvements).
# Kubelwagen and Schwimwagen variants.
# Luftwaffe: #Me 109
#Stuka (JU 87 G Kanone)
#Me 262
#HE 111H
#JU 52/3m.
Additional planes will be added in later. Most of these are based on the stuff the Germans were working on just before the war ended. Already two, or three planes have been created by me that represent these planes. In addition all the planes inthe old West German OOB are still there (with some minor exceptions). There Icons have, in some cases, been changed and their names altered (e.g. "Falke"). The Aiforce will need to be overhauled as some of the units within were stop gap measures.

In addition to those wwii units already mentioned. Many of the late war PAK and FLAK have also been added including 88s, the PAK 40 and PAK 44 as well as the Nebelwerfers (41 and 42). Both Austrian and Swiss units have been incorporated into this OOB as well. Only some transport units and AA from the Austrian OOB and a number of light recon cars (The MOWAG Adlers) from the Swiss OOB.

The engineering vehicle section has also undergone enlargement with the incorporation of new Engineering tanks (Minenpanzers) fromthe Leopard family of MBTs (3 in total).

Airmobile and light (colonial/border) infantry as well as heavy and guards units have also been created. Extensive work has been done on sounds and new weapons have been "cooked up" for the late era infantry units. All the weapons, unit and formations now carry German names or abreviations where possible.

That is a fairly brief summary of the work that has been done so far.
