Go to your profile, click "Latest posts of this person" go all the way to the end and post the very first post you've got there.

Obviously...i just can't take the control scheme of fps shooters on consoles...unless you're a fan of auto-aim

well this is truly my first ever post. I was Wildfire before I was anything else.

lol yeah, i find the axis tough to play with although i love the panzer elite (another n00b faction?) are brits pro or n00b?

3 years later and we still have start up issues.......lol

I have the same problem.
I have followed all your steps.
1. Run this program...HERE

This will tell fix you if you have a bad .NET, XNA, or DirectX install.

2. If that program says you're good to go, download and install the Games for Windows Live Redist HERE

I have also reloaded the lastest setup and updater.
My updater says all files up to date, but crashes when I click Launch

I just want to cry........

[Groundfire]

I had trouble getting this mod to work too.

For some reason today when i tried to sign in to the launcher it wouldnt recognize my password/login name, so i figured some new update happened to mess my launcher up.

I tried to reinstall the game but all the links leading to filefront.com just lead to the front page and there is no entry for EiR:R.

This happens even when i physically type in the domain address.

a little help would be appreciated because i have yet to get a game in this even tho ive tried for 6 hours straight to play.

Loooong one ^^ but i hade been very active on vent well before i started posting

I Must say this is a truly fascinating read, and its great to see so many well put posts, Some mad me more irritated and others inspired. One thread discussed the fact that Napoleon did or did not meet a type of guerrilla warfare in Russia, but to be honest that is really not true, i did see a post later also stating this but i want to stress this further that the Cossack element was deeply feared and hated by the French army, in the sense that they never stood and fought they took opportunity, they where senselessly violent and ruthless. They were as Shakespeare puts it "let loose the hounds of war", they but they made a point of running away and taunting the French, and every time the had the chance slaughter as many as possible and then looting their bodies.

This fear component and of course the cold and the fact that napoleon made his army feed of the ground they where invading was the downfall of the Russian invasion in my point of view.

Von Clausewitz i have seen named but not discussed at all, which i find most upsetting due to the fact that he was the reason that the Prussian and eventually Austrian armies reformation into some of the lethal forces of later post modern times. Thou I’m basing this statement out of reading, I abit shamefully admit only reading one book, but it is however a very good and analytic read, Its called the culture of War, by John Keegan, and a strongly recommend it if you guys are interested in the clash between war/leaders and the society.

Further more i would like to point of the greatness of Karl the 12th of Sweden, the “Warrior King” who so far is the only one to take and hold Moscow! (even thou they lost it later but still!)

Further more Alexander the Great is a name at least worth mentioning when bringing up hallowed names like Napoleon, Wellington, Rommel etc.

But one General in my mind stands out amongst the rest is Machiavelli

If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.

@ Heartmann..... You should have been banned for that first post.

Well, not much going on with EiR right now.

Soooo... We've been playing other mods. So yea, people, get back active, jump on TS, keep the community running while we wait for 1.7 =)

As, you can see, nothing has changed.

Ello!

Hmm Volksgrenadiers the shittiest infantry what Wehrmacht (ok Whole Nazi Germany) Had that time.
No they weren't soldiers they were Militia as pointed out earlier several times.
Alright lets dig into this problem.

In VCoH Volks are somewhat "Starting infantry" although I see no point adding whole bloody infantry unit into the whole game. Anyway Volks are more of a guardmen dealing with Anti Aircraft weaponry (seen in US Campaign 2 Intro) and so on. They were old men or young children in age of 12-14-15-16 whatever age up to 80 too! Now 80 years old pap using a Kar 89 makes me smirk.

Volks in general (in game of course) are primary used as cannon fodder. Use these infantry in buildings without any upgrades they do actually quite decent! In VCoH I beated 1 British Recon unit and 1 non-upgraded unit in long range combat. 1 Volk in a house. 1 Recon in house. 1 Volk behind a car wreck one behind a wooden wall.
Anyway that is only memorizing.

In-game Volks are useful for recrewing things. Perhaps you want to be an asshole and steal all your lovely Allies players support weapons? That'd be fun when he returns to recrew them he finds them all gone and in your use! Imaginate his face when you get a free useful heavy caliber Browning? And shooting at his rifleman spam! Or stealing his mortar to harash his Mgs in buildings instead. Comical.

As infantry these guys are not like American G1s. Remember we are comparing American TRAINED INFANTRY versus Soldiers who yells to each others "If its clicking like that! You have to reload!" Alright, now this infantry is useful when you give them Hitler Saws (MP40s) This makes Volks like a assault unit but bleh they will die if you go alone vs 3 Rifleman squads. You got to have Grenadiers behind volks all the time.

For the price thing. Volks die quickly vs any threat. Their Panzerfaust doesn't slow enemy tank down so that they can runaway but if you get 2-4 lucky hits in a Croc's butt you might score a kill but if croc escapes behind a wall when you try to aim PF. Ups "Panzerfaust. Requires: Uses" Its wasted and nothing to replace it. "Hans shoot the Panzerfaust!"  "Its off range I think I broke it Karl"

Price of 195 is idiotic for volkgrenadier price but if it went too low they'd be spammed (Ehh maybe as spammed as the picture in my Signature?)
Anyway. 185 for manpower price sounds like a bullseye. This infantry units dies in close combat without a upgrade. Their vet is same like a toilet paper when you use a toilet. Use them to recrew stuff or guard some non important objects (houses, rear vs Paratroopers, it annoys AB player so much that he will yell in vent "VOLKS! EVERYWHERE ARGAHHH!" and then he continues his battle with Death from above)

185 for Volks is a nice idea. 190 is overrated. 180 is too less it leaves so much candy money to buy something cool. 170 No Men need a woman to come to world and women cost resources (IRL experience everyone has it I assume?)
Dropping the price by 10. Ain't a bad change when we talk about a group who yells "If I knew how much walking they do I'd have joined the navy" "Have you taken any training?". Hmrhm...

I guess that finishes something?
I know ally lovers are afraid of Volk spam to counter their Rifleman spam, heres a newsflash for all allie lovers!
Do not fear Volks they are decent in long range (always older people hunts don't ya agree?) but in close range you simply force them to retreat. Besides upgrades for volks are expensive, I'd give MP44s to a Stormtrooper unit rather than give both PF and MP40s for Volks.

Yeah I use volks their cool when they have MP40s but die so damn easily to a Bar unit despite the range, bad micro? How is it bad micro when you get your troops in close range? I dunno

End <3

[DarkSoldierX]

[EIRRMod]

I was originally LuciferNZ, but never made a single post.

As EIRRMod my first post was:

EIR is back up, and will remain so for the near future at least.

Id love to get a game on an OCP based version if one comes out
