The Eastern Front Mod is a very ambitious project, as are its developers. Implementing the Soviet Union into Company of Heroes is not an easy task, but we think the possible rewards in having fun could be enormous for the community of CoH as a whole.
Most of us are amateurs concerning game development, but our lead developers have previous modding experience (I myself worked on two other CoH mods before) and we are eager to get this project done. We have clear goals for our first release, which is the implementaion of the Soviet Union into CoH, together with some eastern front multiplayer maps. After this, we are aiming for an Eastern Front German faction and a singleplayer campaign.
Concerning things like game theories, like the unit lists, doctrines etc. are close to being final and are being programmed in. The artwork is definitely the biggest amount of work for a project like this. We have a skilled team for this job which is steadily working on it, but your experience would definitely be welcomed and valued.
