Well since Everybody seems to agree that Oshteer with Trcuks is not gonna happen. I did some major changes in my Ostheer concept. I hope you like it anyways. This is rather a whole new concept more than a rework of my original concept.
VETERANCY SISTEM Ostheer is an elite veteran army can either choose to deploy battle-hardened veterans from previous operations
or to field fresh troops recently who have recently arrived from the Reich. You can select the grade of veterancy of the new unit you wish to deploy but the higher the experience the higher the price you have to pay.
-Recruit level: No additional cost
-Veteran: 20% of additional cost
-Crack: 30% of additional cost
-Elite: 40% of additional costSECURING SECTORS AND FORWARD OUTPOSTSIn order to secure a sector, the Ostheer must build up a Forward Outpost. Forward Outpots can be build by Sturmpioneers. When securing a sector it does not produce addiotinal resources due the logistical problems that the long distances and partisans are causing.
You must upgrade your Forward Outposts in order to produce a larger resource bonus.
THE DRANG NACH OSTENThe German high Command has been planning Barbarossa Unternehmen since 1940 so Ostheer Units enjoy from a faster deployment than other armies.But...
The Long Distances, Partisan Operations, Scorched Earth Tactics and the Stubborn (aber futile) Resistence of the Russians have produced a serious resource shortage
in the front lines and have diverted resources among the different Heeresgruppen. Osterheer units does not only reduce the income of manpower your recive ,Ostheer vehicles will also reduce the ammount of fuel you recive and when buying upgrades for your vehicles and infantery or building defensive structures you will also recive less ammunition from your strategic points.A Swift Advance comes for a price...
