Dear Company of Heroes players,
I would like to welcome you back for another update of Company of Heroes, Eastern Front, the mod that will be bringing you the soviet union. Our team has been hard at work to bring you our first update. I would first like to announce that we have plans to include a short, single player campaign, thanks to Rizz, as well as regular multiplayer. Our main focus is going to be Operation Citadel, also known as Battle of Kursk. As you may know, the Battle of Kursk was the largest tank battle in history, and was a significant turning point in the war, which opened the Red Army's drive across Eastern Europe all the way to Berlin, leading to the downfall of the Third Reich.
Our list or units is still not complete, and several things may be taken off or changed, but our lists so far are as follows:
