Hi guys if anyone knew for certain the answer to both of these questions, that’d be great

If I load up this mod, can I still join the vanilla games being hosted in the lobby of people who do not have the mod?

And if I have the mod and decide to host a vanilla game (with just PE/Wehr & US/Brits) can people without the mod, still join my game?

Thanks for any advice

No and No.

If you load up Eastern Front, you can only play online with others who have Eastern Front. If you want to play Vanilla with Vanilla players, just click on the Company of Heroes icon on the desktop instead of Eastern Front.

They probably said that you can still play vanilla CoH if Eastern Front is installed.

 I wasn't confused, I understood perfectly :)
You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity
