Unit suggestion thread:

[Akalonor]

The only thing that catches my eye is the addition of Pz I, there are some exotic names that I will have to look into, but I like how you worked Foreign units into it. Although I don't think there will be many other sympathizers.

[HyperSniper999]

I must say I'm rather amused by how persistent everyone on these forums thinks that the ostheer should include units from their country. Didn't we already talk about this a few pages ago?

For the last time, the ostheer is not going to consist entirely of italians, finns, hungarians, poles, etc etc!.

Hehe, then just make a generic Hilfswillige infantry unit without mentioning any nationalities. That ought to shut everyone up  Those volunteers and allies were only a fraction of the Axis war machine anyway, at least in the eyes of the OKW. Tanks are a different issue though, Beutepanzers are also viable options...like the PE's Hotchkiss H-35(f) and Geschutzwagen (which uses Hotchkiss chassis). It's not like we have a lot of choices left, since late-war units and technologies are almost entirely out of the question (which is why I still wonder how the yanks got the Pershing in vCOH) and pre-1940 tanks are too weak to be included in the OH.

I've been to a museum that housed the Pershing that was the only tank to cross some bridge (I know it wasn't at Arnhem or the other city that begins with an N) in Market Garden. So they aren't too late in the war.
But the SS guys with the fezzes look awesome,

I read many books, see many photo, and my unit list is based on historial realism. The Ostheer, in my country called "Kelet Hadseregcsoport"= "Army group East". I think the German assault in the Eastern Front is using allies armys, like hungarians, Romanians, Slovakians, Finnish, Yugoslavs, Bulgarians.... The Hungarian players, fanaticks are pray for the developers to make some axis allies units.

Sorry my english, i dont speak/write well...

Thanks for read my unit list, and comment.

In this building allowed to build some foregin voluntiers in Ostheer company.

It was discussed in an early topic, and ended up in a nationality fight. Anyway welcome bro, I'm a Hungarian too and I've worked on the faction but haven't much time to finish it. http://myconcept.5mp.eu/web.php?a=myconcept
Nézd meg, hogy tovább tudod-e fejleszteni, vagy lehet, hogy ad néhány ötletet. Nekem nincs már időm foglalkozni vele....

AHEM.

Why do I have to repeat myself just one page later?

ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. I don't care if you're from Hungary or whatever and you want to see units from your country, this is the OSTHEER, and we're gonna have german units. You're letting your nationality skew your opinions.

"Hi, I'm an american. I think there should be american units in the ostheer"

Do you all see how stupid that sounded?

I know that it's not that comparable and that there were a fair number of foreign divisions in the ostheer, but this is a GAME we're talking about, one that's not meant to be rigidly historically accurate. What we're focusing on is PRESENTATION, 2nd of course to gameplay. People expect german units in the Ostheer. You may be happy to see your country represented in the mod, but what about the rest of the people that are gonna play the Ostheer? Do you think they're all gonna be from your country, and are not gonna care if the ostheer is german or not?

I understand where you guys are coming from, but this is not the place to get your country into games. I highly suggest checking out the Red Orchestra community, there are a lot of mods that DO add all those little european nations like Hungary, Romania, Italy, and so on.

[PetikeHUN1984]

Ok i understand!!!

My new concept based on German Wehrmacht in Easter Front.

My units make in Excel, i dont past in the forum.
Can i send to you in email to look my work?

[BDNeon]

Petike, why don't you check these guys out instead.

Petike, your Finn doesn't look very Finnish, He should look more like the Italian in Winter wear.

[Psycho1225]

As there has been hints to foreign troops in the Ostheer like the Finnish or Italian, i think a squad of Czechoslovakian troops should be included like a 3 man squad, one armed with a ZB vz. 26 and two others armed with vz. 24's (these were manufactured in 1924 and are outdated but it would show how the Czech crisis was affecting them)

It would look a little like this...

Well I do, seeing the US was on the opposite side of the war
If you can show me a Mod presenting A Finnish modification I'll be happy and shut up
