I know you have said "When it is done" and I understand you develop this game in your free time and hell it is free so I am not pushing I am just curious what a ballpark would be for the ostheer? By that I mean weeks, months, a year?

It isn't going to be soon, but it isn't going to be years.

German Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front; although it may include elements from other Axis nations like Finland, Hungary, etc.

Finland was only axis till 1944 correct ?
(My avatar is Finnish RDF coat of arms :) I'm a fin and proud of it)
Have you guys made final decisions on "Definate" units?

well axis until 44 because that's when Russia FINALLY ate them, took them long enough... Will the loss of the great modeler mrscruff greatly hinder efforts? Sounds like he did 90% of the vehicle models.

What ever happened to him in the first place? I knew he was amazing at modding and is now within the afterlife of his choice but how did he get there if it is no intrusion asking?

Mr Scruff left us with a crateload of Axis models, some of which fit into our Ostheer concept.

Devs, whatever you do, don't rush it. Take your time, and if Akalonor gives you too much trouble, just tell him you guys are working hard to get the Maus into the initial release.

LOL maus no lol I think it could be a campaign unit but not PvP but leave Akalonor alone we are all eager to see the Ostheer but on the other hand TAKE YOUR TIME do the best you can do! Not some unpolished BS like COH or DoW V 1.0 even your V 1.0 was not horribly unbalanced!

hmmm but your developing on russian faction took ages. 3 years and it is still not done.

I do´t want to offend you, a good mod takes its time.

Hope Mr. Scruff has left enough models behind you can use for the ostheer. that should save time

What was you guys main obstacle? Game coding or models?

Mainly because 3 years ago, COH wasn't very 'mod-friendly' (it still isn't). Now that the tools are out, the team knows its way around the game, and we have plenty of content already they should be able to make the Ostheer in a lot less time than the Soviets.
