The Historical Plausibility Project is a mod for Hearts of Iron 3 and its expansions with the goal of helping the game reach its full potential as a half-historical / half-sandbox game. The mod features a vastly improved AI, historical OOBs for every nation, complex internal politics, a reworked leadership system, the Soviet invasion of Poland, HOI2-style doctrines, capital ship modernizations, over 6,000 unique unit pictures, and much more. The HPP is the result of the efforts of the HPP team's five members of Slan, TheBromgrev, TZoli, SSmith, and Nephandus from the ParadoxPlaza forum, and its main forum is its official ParadoxPlaza forum, which Paradox requires proof of game ownership to enter. The HPP's forum contains the mod's FAQ, Submod downloads, country guides, and small hotfixes. In addition, part of the mod's previous work to the East Asia part of the map is now in the Their Finest Hour base game for everyone to enjoy.

I am having a possible bug/question about movement speed. I have a group with a max speed of 4KPH (regular infantry and some support). For some unknown reason, the unit is moving between 0.03 and 0.04 KPH! They are fully supplied, there are no adverse weather effects (it's December, but nothing that bad), and have basically full organization. They are also just moving on home territory, so there shouldn't be any reason for this. Do you have any idea what it might be?

Check for below-freezing temperatures, mud, or ice. They really, really slow down unit movement and that's intentional in order to represent things like the Russian Winter and mud seasons, which the base game does a very crappy job of simulating. Also check out your support brigade movement stats, because they can have nasty penalties in bad terrain that will make the entire division move slower. If possible, you want to strat-deploy units in home territory.

ah ok, thanks! I installed TFH cause I got fed up with the slow speed, and that expansion has a tooltip that says why the units are moving under their max speed. I went back to HPP and figured out it was the sub freezing temps and ice that probably caused the slowness. Thanks for the help!
