^ Thats what I was going to say. Plus, this mod looks fantastic. and needs to relate to the world, not just russia, i have had nothing but amazement and respect for the fantastic modders here at EF and I can not think of anything I have looked forward to apart from this mods release. Keep up the amazing work. And UeArtemis, you said in a previous post that the SS did hardly anything but crimes. Well, just to let you know, the NKVD were the exact russian representation of what the SS did. the Waffen SS however, were fantastic soldiers, and would defeat nearly 4 russians to each one of them that died. notice more Russians died at Stalingrad than Germans did. Lets see how that would work in CoH, seeing as the largest pop cap so far is 125 (Blitz Mod) so what, give us 50 Waffen SS Troopers, and you can say goodbye to your army, then give us a Tiger 1, and you can say goodbye to all of your T-34s. Its a game, its not a documentary.

Let's copy all trinity.

P.S. to woah123: Ja, ja, Deutsch übersoldaten! I will say you: the Brest Fortress in 1941...
I know what the NKVD did. the Relic made the game without policy: no swastika, no the SS. Why the NKVD will be exception?

[TheAllMihtyOne]

trinity? the second expansion is just two soldiers. btw those are amazing pics were do you get them?

[UeArtemis]

One man for the Western Allies, one man for the Soviet and one man for the Axis.
This is a cover of a low-budget unknown Russian game "The Officers". Most of people do not know this game.

Those soldiers look like students at a fancy-dress party, not battle-hardened officers in the midst of battle. Our mod is about the fighting between the Soviets and the Germans on the Eastern Front, so an American is not needed. Also, I do not feel that plagarising another minor game developer's hard work is the right way to go about it.

[UeArtemis]

My business is suggest

[WartyX]

And your suggestions are greatly appreciated, as are your critisisms. I'm sure you understand the reasoning behind our responses. That boxart looks great, but like I said, it doesnt quite fit with the mod or the style.

[UeArtemis]

Of course, I understand.

[HostileAmerican]

I just wanted to say that the cover looks real nice *nice work*

Well i have never quite thought about it in that way, though T34s weren't exactly pieces of junk , but mainly it was do to poor training of the drivers/few radios that lead to there demise. I understand the point made about CoH isn't exactly a realistic game. I am not a modder, don't know how to program, can't skin (color blind), so ultimatly its your mod and regardless of a (yucky ) post war Russian on the "cover" i will still play it. So far all the in game pics i have seen look (as far as i can tell they look correct, but didn't look to hard either) great, i have been really looking forward to this mod and am glad to see it is coming along nicely.

[WelshManDan]

Yeah Okay, the Arctic Convoys, Battle of Britain, commando raids, and North Africa werent happening during the same time. Dunkirk and Battle Of Britain took place before Barbarrossa was launched. And North Africa began in June 10, 1940. Thats before you guys came in.

[vengefulnoob]
