Because there is enough space on the map and do you want to balance a whole new gamemode?

Yes. I wouldn't mind helping with balance. But giving the Allies/Soviets a base is not helping! Why not just have them come from off-map?

So what if it's more work? There's no excuse for cutting corners, if the end result will be inferior to what more work would get you!

No I mean why creating a whole new call in faction if the base sector is already setted up :P.

+1.
Bases and convoys ARE needed  ;)

It's not a new faction, man; It's just the units called in from off-map, rather than built in a base. Just like Stonewall! Well, half of Stonewall...

Maxi, care to explain how bases and convoys are needed?

You probably mean similar to the Men of War multiplayer.

Haven't play Men Of War mate, so i can't compare it to Company Of Heroes. How does Men Of War work?

Like walki already said, it would be much easier to create a base-based version of OTH, plus other things would ne too much Stonewall-like (off-map untis attack you in the middle). What if we just exchange these two aspects and make the attacker the one with the base and the attacked without base? Americans have bases, Axis have their Tiger Ace as victory target to keep alive.

Convoys are, like I said several times before, an extra goal for the Tiger players to reach, not just campy boring survival, you know?

I don't know much about logistics, but it seems weird to me to run your convoy straight through enemy territory...

Look at Red Ball Express SP mission. Germans try to flank your convoy all the time. According to the German situation in Normandy in summer 1944, it would be indeed possible that some isolated Wehrmacht units are roaming in enemy territory.

The Red Ball Express over-extended the advance, which was clearly a mistake. These Tigers are on the defensive, fighting for their very survival, and not trying to sneak into enemy territory to eliminate a convoy.

What would you suggest then as a secondary target for the Tiger players? Just camping is boring.
