1) Model the Ostheer after the Wehrmacht faction (the same core units and structures). The Ostheer were simply the Wehrmacht in the east.
2) The Ostheer should either use "Doctrines" (see suggestion number 1) or "Groups" - Army Group North, Army Group Center, Army Group South. Each "Group" would have specific units and abilities accurate to history.
3) Unit: Italian Reinforcement Squad (if "Groups" are chosen, specific to Army Group South) - the German Army in Crimea and southern Russia was backed by armies of several Axis countries, one being Italy. This unit would be called in much like Partisans for the Soviets.

1) No they (they being the Devs) want the Ostheer to be unique
2) How else would it be???? It most likely will be the 3 army groups... everyone seems to be in consensus of this
3) I don't know about this one... I will let the Dev's answer this

Than play as wehrmacht.

I dont like the North, Center, South doctrine names.
A doctrine that has armored call-ins and field repairs should be called armored breakthru or engineer.
A doctrine that has entrenched positions and cheap infantry should be called infantry or propaganda.
North, Center, South dont point out what the doctrines are really about.
3) Unit: Italian Reinforcement Squad (if "Groups" are chosen, specific to Army Group South) - the German Army in Crimea and southern Russia was backed by armies of several Axis countries, one being Italy. This unit would be called in much like Partisans for the Soviets.
You know that Partisants can be called the same way as Falshimjeagers. Out of empty houses?
Anyway, every EF player wants a non german axis unit.
A whole Tier I could be Italian/Romanian/Hungarian:

I don't think you understand. I want the Ostheer to be unique, as do the developers. They should just, at their core, resemble the Wehrmacht. I want to see lots of new units for the Ostheer, just not at the expense of not having units that were used regularly simply because the Wehrmacht faction has them too.
Regarding the entire Tier 1 being Italian... what?
