Spoken like a true Panzer Elite player. ;D

They won't be just camping; The Bergetiger will be carrying out repairs!

I like your sense of humour, but try to suggest something better/else than the convoy idea.  ;)

The convoy, if it reaches it's designated area should give US players extra resources and some extra units or upgrades... like possibility to upgunn shermans to 76mm.

I was serious - After each wave is dealt with, there will be repairs that need doing. No time for anything else!

I think the allied players should have a fixed income, say +270MP +30FU, plus a large starting bonus. Each supply truck that makes it through would grant munitions to all the allied players. These munitions can then be spent on doctrine powers. Due to the fact that they won't really be gaining CPs from fighting the Tigers, give them set powers from the start. They will have to earn munitions before they can use them. Maybe just give them:

Recon run
Arty strike
Field Repairs
Allied War Machine
Bombing run

If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

The Allies/Soviets will need a lot more than that! Field Repairs, for example. Not sure what the Soviets have, but they could have some useful abilities...

If the Tigers wanna survive isolated in enemy territory the have to ambush enemy convoys or they will run out of supplies before being able to fight till death, so its not that unreal.

I would suggest replacing the Panther-turrets with 17-Pounder as there are brits in there and its much more appropriate if the allies use their own weapons for base defence.

But they're not in enemy territory; They're trying to hold their own territory.

Regarding the Base-or-no-Base question:
I know from similar mods in WarIII where on side has to spam down a few heros of the other side, that it can be quite annoying to lose whole armys and dont see any effects and the "Hero"-side is much more fun to play. So i guess there wont be too many Players who want to play Axis in OTH.

Regarding this, if u give allies a base i guess it would be much simpler to add a AI, maybe the normal AI would work without bigger changes. (I dont know what CoH-AI does if you just lock some Units).

Maybe because I'm the one who is making it?

All US abilities:
-- Paratroopers
-- Paradrop AT Gun
-- Supply Drops
-- Air Recon
-- Strafing Run
-- Rocket Strike
-- Improved build times
-- Rangers
-- Off-Map Reinforcements
-- Riflemen build defenses
-- Off-Map Artillery
-- Howitzer
-- Vehicles Capture Points
-- Calliope
-- Pershing
-- Improved production
-- Vehicle Self Repair
-- Strength of Production
Already in:
      -- Air Recon
      -- Rocket Strike
      -- Off-Map Artillery
      -- Vehicle Self Repair
      -- Strength of Production

Every vehicle which leaves the map safely will award the allied players 50 ammo & 10 action points (44 action points = 1 Command point)

Ha ha ha, nice :P

So the convoys will virtually spawn on one side of the map and try to make their way to the other. So they will be going slow? (I recommend Churchill speed it'll be fast enough I think yet slow enough for the Germans to catch up and destroy it) and of course the Germans will know where its coming out from and its destination too.

If you can make an overview (on the V. first post so we know what's going on so far ;P)
OIY! Get your filthy hands off the Maus!
