oooo...The russians sound fun
Going to be strange being able to get loads of infantry though, Specially when everything with a machine gun is rapetastic
Still, Will need to download this and give it a try some time ^^
And Rifle, back off. Thats MY Rank within FoF

Then I'm out of here.

[salan]

Hey now, there is room for lots of testers

[MittinsKittens]

Just some are more testy then others
But yeah, Will you be on later tonight? Might have to give these Russians a blast.
Also, will need to check the Droppable 88 that I've been repeativily feeding back to you that needs to be in the game.
I'm sure its now in!

[Smokaz]

hmmm all this tease is giving me a hard-on for FoF

ive never tried it

is it currently in a playable version, like is the basics sorted out?

can you play a 2v2 in it, etc?

[salan]

Im sure it is, you drop and it will build

I am not sure if i will get near the computer tonight or not, I plan on trying, but I spent a lot of time yesterday working on these guys.  There were 6 people looking for FOF games yesterday though, just check vent.

[MittinsKittens]

Go to the first page, Download and just copy the files into your CoH directory.
And you can play it ANYWAY you want...on ANY map, Its better to play it on the relic stuff though so you Got VP'S so the games are
1.Are lot more action packed
2.Theres an end rather then slugging out waiting for people to use all their stuff up
Edit:- Fair enough Salan.
Smokaz, If you want a quick 1v1 in about an hour or less, I be up for that, Might even be able to get a few extra players in :3
Thinking about writing up a quick guide for this mod so people don't come into it confused.

Its completely working.. there is a small issue with some of the HQ's giving up teh annihilated setting when destroyed, oddly, but just play VP mode in the basic maps for now.

the EIR maps really don't work all that great, the FOF map pack will come out 'soon'. which will address alot of that.

The first 4 normal factions are general force pools of the following factions.  they cover more basis then the specialized ones will, but they lack the new models, cuz I haven't gone back and fixed them yet.

The US Infantry, Fallschirmjagers, and now Russian Infantry (don't use that faction for starting as its not put into the command tree's yet.. testing phase atm) can completely compete but they are more expensive and restrictive yet allowing at the same time.  IE: almost all units in the falls faction airdrop...  

basically smokaz the BIGGEST thing to know about fof is its limited resource usage.  You have 3 supply drops each will give you +25 of its resource type but you only have 4 total uses.  So you have 300/300/300 with a float of 100 to put where you need.  also the mortar icon (which will change soon) allows you to swap between your infantry / support / armor selections back and forth... you buy an infantry squad, swap to support buy a support squad, swap back to infantry (the infantry squad is still bought) you buy a new infantry squad...


ATM I don't know of any game play bugs.

try it out

[salan]

actually once im done the current builds art work im going to do a series of video tutorials to help new players.

[MittinsKittens]

ATM I don't know of any game play bugs.

*Cough* No airdroppable 88 *cough*

But yeah, The state its in at the moment is SERIOUSLY fun, it can be really quick too, so you can get like 1-3 games in the time it takes you to play ONE game of EiR.
Also, theres no restrictions on how to play the armies. Least, With Falls for example, you can try and go for a completely airdroppable army during the game, or try and get crappier but MORE luffewaffles so you can stay in the game longer x3

[Spartan_Marine88]

Mmmm Stuh sees russian swarm

*10 seconds later*

Stuh is full

[salan]

Ya there is something with that stuh, i checked out the gun on it and its all pointing to the right place, but I think I need to do some more checks because it seriously is pounding infantry more then the 105's / 95mm's are and it has the same accuracies and aoe's.

meh.. death to the stuh!

[salan]

no vent for a few days, if you want to get hold of me for a game you can find me on steam (bromly)

going to take the night off and work on this tomorrow prob

[salan]

Here is a short video to show the russian artwork, now first off, I'm no artist..  I also wasn't able to load them in worldbuilder to put their own pictures in the buy menu, YET.. (it will happen)  took me forever to figure out how to do the icons for the units....  now that I know how i'll make more custom ones later and swap these simple ones out

you'll note in the doctrine selection how it will be arranged with 2 conscripts, 1 soldier, 1 guard.... 2 soldiers, 1 conscript, 1 guard.... 2 guards, 1 conscript, 1 soldier ... we'll have to get some testing in and see how they play.

and the russian flag in the faction selection is purely a place holder .. gimpy artistry at its best

[Groundfire]

do you have access to the russian tanks, salan?

[salan]

not yet, but that will change soon..

[salan]

Im uploading a new test version of this now, will be running test games after dinner .. hopefully someone wants to play some

[salan]

here is the newest version of FoF for testing, has all the russian art included and a modified MODULE to only allow the new Fall of france map pack maps.

all maps have VP points!
FIRST POST for greatness -- map pack is still uploading.

You make a supply drop with 2 parts.
You collect it.

So if the enemy take one of the packages.
Byebye to your 88
