Ostheer Update 1

[Blackbishop]

Greetings EF Fans,

This is the first of the update series sneak peaks for the new Axis Faction, Ostheer (literally translation "Eastern Army").

The current plan is to release these every month.

Today we will cover the Ostheer's Buildings. Yes we know, nothing interesting, but we have to start somewhere.

The HQ
The HQ of the Ostheer is, like most other armies, located in a local house, generally a farmhouse. From here you can upgrade your base and recruit your building/repair unit.

Infanterie Gruppen Post
You can recruit infantry support here. The Infanterie Gruppen Post is the backbone of your army; this building allows you to call in your early support units and basic infantry units, such as the Landser.

Schutzen War Camp
Your first step into modern, mechanized warfare. The Schutzen War Camp have a wide list of specialized support and assault units. One of the units in this building that you can build is the Panzer II Ausf. L "Luchs".

Panzer Kampf Kommand
The Best of the German Steel is ready to steamroll the enemy forces. The Panzer Kampf Kommand is where you can call in your tank reinforcements. All tanks reinforcements requested from the Kampf Kommand comes off-maps when they arrive. For example, you can request the Panzer III Ausf. J from here.

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Yeaah finally the concept is coming to make us, patiently waiting, hungry 
Im glad to hear that Ostheer won't be another brit-faction with truckies cruising around..

[cephalos]

 
but it would be better if you could wait and give us bigger point of view... entire concept would be far enough. But yeah, there must be... surprise effect. At least we know something - a little, but more than nothing

Nice to hear something about the new faction.
Will just remined everyone that works on the Ostheer that the Americans get AT pretty late, so you can't give Ostheer tanks to fast.
Just make sure that you need an upgrade in the Schutzen War Camp before you can roll out the panzer II or other powerful vehicles and everything should be fine.

I like that! I like that! I like that! I like that! I like that!

So what kind of armor type does PzII have?
As allways I fear that something will park near my HQ and kill all of my Tommies before Ill get my Stuart and even then it will be hard to destroy. SdKfz 251 armor?

Will there be any foreign troops with foreign (Italian?) speech?

Will ostheer have a disposable flamethrower?

Will Ostheer have any static guns?

Will they have any medics or repair vechicles?

Will there be an HMG34 or a LMG34 squad ingame?

Will Ostheer have Shrecks? Hope not. AT riflenades that can be fired while running would be great...

What are the doctrines???

Will there be a JU-87, a flame tank maybe?

What kind of mobile arti will it have?

What kind of infiltration unit will it have? A sneaky spy or maybe more "traditional" Stormtrooper like uint?


Waited so long for it. Finnally something is starting to come together.

Good god man, relax your ass, it will all be revealed..... at some point. Your getting carried away with the questions a tad to much.

Oh and I think they will have a "Anti Partisan" style infiltraton unit, that can effectlivly deal with the soviet's Urban Combat Doctrine. Kinda like extreme ANTI-Partisan/Sniper unit.

Will there be an HMG34 or a LMG34 squad ingame?

Due to the recrew bug, i think a LMG34 squad would make more sense, because its a handweapon like the shreck.

Will Ostheer have Shrecks? Hope not. AT riflenades that can be fired while running would be great...

wouldn't that be another spammable piat? I don't hope so.

What are the doctrines???

I think Heeresgruppe Nord (Leningrad: any siege units, artillery), Mitte (Kursk, Prokhorovka, Orel: many many tanks) and Süd (Stalingrad, Rostov: urban combat, artillery)

What kind of mobile arti will it have?

Hopefully Wespe.
