(April Fools) Ostheer Doctrines

[Rikard Blixt]

Eastern Front fans,

So, as promised, the time has come to start unveiling our official Ostheer faction plan. The Ostheer is the third Axis army, and literally means 'Army of the East'. Success of the faction relies only on popularity with the masses, so we present to you a WIP Doctrine List to suit high demand.

Thanks for downloading Eastern Front,

EF Dev Team

"Monster

About the two doctrines, we can improve, I believe with certainty that we will.
But over ÜBER ARMY TROOPS, is a joke right? please say it is a joke and I'm stupid for not understanding. If it is not a joke or 1 April.....
 READ below

This is a nightmare, where is the balance? Lord Rommel? Help me! COH was just the best game of 2006 because it had a fantastic balance. (Almost like starcraft). Not to Ratte, Maus or Jagtiger etc etc etc. Please.

Landerzugs, Panzer 2, 3 .. We have great ideas. only need to organize it. I have read a lot of this forum, daily and learned to respect the opinion and common sense of some developers, wich by the way, did a fantastic job with the Red Army( keep up the good work  . We already have the body and soul, lets not lose focus in the final hour.


From a friend in South America
now very worried.

[U-Boat]

 I wouldn't be able to stop laughing if someone actually put the 1500 monster in the game.
