Awesome to see this mod is being worked on! Some questions:

- How far are you guys?
- Will this be OTA-content free?
- When will it be time for a public beta?

- There are only about 18 units in-game at the moment, but we're going fairly quickly.
- Yes, no OTA content that I know of.
- Perhaps in a few weeks when all infantry are done, balanced and working, we'll release a little infantry demo.

Some good ideas, redcoat... thanks!

Interesting, how long has it been in the making?

SpikedHelmet · Post by **SpikedHelmet** » 26 Sep 2006, 00:16

Quite some time, but since I stopped working my 60-hour-a-week job we've gotten a lot done... funny the coincidence...

Yeah really funny, har har har

Lots more units added. Sniper (kneeling) and machinegun/anti-tank rifle (prone) aiming pose finalizes (see pic). Added Soviet DP Light Machinegun, Soviet Commissar (Commander). Added German 8cm GrW 34 Infantry Mortar (full script pending). Once this mortar is complete, ALL German infantry will be done. Soviets still need: M1910 Maxim Machinegun, 82mm PM-37 Mortar, and Partisan.

But the question is, do the tires turn?

And will there be animated tracks on the tanks?

Nemo · Post by **Nemo** » 28 Sep 2006, 07:55

Yes to both questions.

Have you actually got the troops scripted so they taken kneeling and prone positions when they stop to fire?

rattle · Post by **rattle** » 28 Sep 2006, 13:14

Will your tracks reverse accordingly when the unit is turning? I'm asking out of interest... :)

Hm, this mod will have a Company of Heroes to be compared with.

This wont be easy.

i think this is a slightly different type of gameplay to company of heros not to mention free.

Free in terms of fiscally free.

Uh, yes, can't you see the picture above the in-game shot of the Soviet truck?

And unless Company of Heroes allows you to control a hundred infantrymen, 50 tanks and vehicles, bomber fleets and fighter squadrons... then no, it's nothing like CoH. :)

This is a neat mod, I say!

Neatness indeed.

SpikedHelmet · Post by **SpikedHelmet** » 28 Sep 2006, 18:55

Hoorah, German infantry mortar finished! German infantry now COMPLETE!

TA content isn't free. And I doubt it will use TA content.

Quoting myself, get me an answer

I've been trying to get this done for a couple of weeks now but failed in the last step because I suck at maths (especially trigonometry, can't think in 3D and so on).
