General Information


Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies7 Jun 2014, 00:55 AM Did you notice @ 21 when he buys the KT- the pop cap actually doesn't move? It drops by 3 but I think it's just casualties. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies7 Jun 2014, 00:27 AM 'Obersoldaten' is kind of made up term to me. I noticed that they are SS, and SS ranks have a lot of 'Ober', 'Sturm' and 'unter' prefixes. The 'Sturm officer' appears to be SS as well (if my pictures are correct). The 'Panzerfusilier' is very niche- There was a regiment of the GD division called this but it was just a name designed to ease identification. 'Fusilier' battalions were late war German light infantry battalions that replaced the traditional recon battalions int the infantry divisions. It's kind of a meaningless name as well. What does have meaning, however, is Jaeger from Ostheer. 'Jaeger light infantry' is used, but in a weird way. Historically, Jaeger divisions in 41-42 were elite light infantry divisions with different equipment than a line infantry division. They were usually in reserve for offensive action. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies6 Jun 2014, 23:50 PM ^ It's not manpower starved, too? I did, in a very rough manner, observe the fuel progression. It looks to me that they get maybe 75% of the fuel that the other factions do. So there's the Jagdpanzer IV left, and it's probably in one of the buildings that we didn't see. It's funny because normally a Super Panther call in would be great for Ostheer but for this faction..heavy duty AFV is the norm. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies6 Jun 2014, 23:41 PM Luftwaffe Ground forces looks like the best. Flak guns, FJs, call in MG34 HMGs, etc. This is a faction that's strong with heavy armor anyway. Breakthrough looks second best (Come to think of it, the Panzerfusiliers resemble Pathfinders in description). Then Spec Ops is probably the least useful. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies6 Jun 2014, 23:09 PM ^ Thanks. Here are the same pictures but in better quality: check minus link Man, Sturmpioneers are superhuman espec. with Luftwaffe doc. http://minus.com/mbxhQXeFpxzMdb In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies6 Jun 2014, 22:49 PM ^ Yea Kat, I figured as much. Skip to minute 21 and the player buys the KT. King Tiger Cost: ~700 Manpower 260 Fuel OKW Medical Truck: -Obersoldaten get smoke grenades at vet 1 -Obersoldaten armed with MG34 @ 30:00 I saw an obersoldaten squad getting killed and dropping something- a second MG34?? One member was still firing his MG34. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies6 Jun 2014, 22:38 PM This is the start building. I noticed, at the same time, that the pop cap is 9 with one sturmpioneer squad. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies6 Jun 2014, 21:44 PM Thanks Canada. The 3rd commander ability appears also on top of the profile for the 'Obersoldaten'. It is a muni purchase that gives the units STG44s with infrared scopes. Does it shoot through cover? Range bonus? It's not nighttime.. The 5th commander ability is command panther. He explained what it does in the video but I didn't catch the details. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies6 Jun 2014, 21:27 PM ^ canada, what's that in your avatar? Seems familiar. More USA commanders: http://minus.com/mtuq8QzeVnAGj If I missed any other building, mention it. The devs didn't show much in this cast. There are at least two (probably three) buildings that are missing. In: Lobby

Sturmpioneers 4. ??? Unknown 5. Obersoldaten. Not sure if they have one or two LMG42's. host: http://minus.com/m165IpZwmkEDn I'll try to trawl for the other buildings later. http://minus.com/mE8T2M8j3MYFl The King Tiger is faster and more maneuverable than the VCOH one, but its turret rotation is just as bad.
