The mod are progressing well, go on like this and not pay attention to the irrational criticism, I like realism and not much demand(this is a game anyway), I am a professor of history and I am not complaining.
good work (sorry my english)

[vengefulnoob]

A prof of history? The mod seems even more accurate!

Please! Put this on YouTube!

As for "super sappers"... My idea was a doctrine unit which acts as an assault squad which can have some regular engineer upgrades, like barbed wire cutters, flamethrower and explosives, along with the pps43 upgrade. They aren't super sappers and they fit into the soviet faction's layout.

Nice unit symbols!

Can you guys (if you have the time) upload the Hi-res video in a download link and post it here? moddb quality videos kinda suck. Thanks....

Due to popular request, here the infantry video on youtube in better quality:

Well danggg :/ Been awhile since there was an update... Ahm. Throwin' it out there.

Just in reply to some of the comments about historical accuracy i've read quite a few books on the eastern front and the initial low quality of conscripts isn't an exageration. It is more accurate having a command group than a comissar for each individual squad, there just simply weren't enough comissars for that to happen. Looking good guys.

Conscripts generally become fairly useless after the first 10 minutes or so of the battle, and it is unlikely that a player will upgrade every single one of his conscript squads with a commissar within that time.

The command squad includes a Major - I am sure that a Major in each conscript squad is even more unlikely.

hello guys! after reading through this thread i noticed some of the people where bitching about those guard models, i think the models look fantastic and they look pretty correct to me! keep going on the mod guys! now get that beta going!

Expect another video tomorrow.

What was a reason of a idea to create a command squad?
