You know what would be really avant-garde, groundbreaking supa smart impressive awesome for EIR?
Adding a extra doctrine for each faction - or adding a new faction like russians or japanese. It's a pity if this never happens.
Why just trudge the old ideas of blitz - terror - blah blah? Isn't there more WW2 related doctrines of war or force composition tactics or something that could inspire a whole new doctrine?
What would it even be named? Elitegren had a thread a long while back on how the doctrine names kinda limit what we are able to associate them with. I think this is a limiting mentality. We've thought about the same themes for so long instead of just wanting to really shake shit up.

I'm all for this.
Right after we've balanced what we already have.

I mean I know Obama was the first one in EiR to get a card. and tbfh the Race card is pretty OP. but Romney has the K.K.K., those guys seem to camo anywhere. So OP units from both sides.
At the end of the day, however, stormtroopers finally got the anal invasion with a cactus they have richly deserved for years.

To add in new factions we'd need to double the team we have and include it with more modelers,importers and animators

Mysthalin's reputation as a Stalin would have a meaningful expression to it if Russians were added...

Because a forum post should be like a woman's skirt. Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.

Id like to see the Italians and russians tbh.
Lots of cheap easy troops that die easily but have vast potential if they're managed correctly.

Having 3 sides and game mode where you fight 2v2v2.

Italians would be awesome! And unlike the soviets they did fight with and against all the other factions.   Doctrines Bersaglieri (mountaineers): swift and mobile forces attacking fast from unexpected angles and masters of ambushes. Regia Marina (navy): Elite (by italian standards) marine infantry capable of infiltration and trained with explosives together with offmaps from Italian ships. ARMIR (eastern front veterans): Trained with German military tactics and strategy, equiped with "borrowed" german and soviet weapons. Hardened by the horrific fighting on the eastern front these troops are tough and experienced. |

Demon posession is real and it's not funny, it's the creepiest thing you will ever experience.
I would also like to add I watch fox news everyday all day and will continue to watch it while being proud of that fact. I'm sure you enjoy your communist news network just as much.

I just don't see the appeal of the Italian army. Judging from wikipedia, they were of low number compared to other armies and on top of this they had poor training and worse equipment! Whats the appeal of such a army? They won like 1/99 engagements they participated with.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHAs7nO95KsRelated^ So, they were like Germany in '45, using the equivalent of old men and children in their army, only in EIRR, we somehow make Volksgrenediers work. Id imagine the italian army being an army of volks, or less. Then as maybe doctrinal abilities, your able to field special german units. It's not that they didnt have good troops, it was just kinda washed out by their lack of technological superiority, and shit leadership. You could easily be seeing units fielded like the feared Itailian Alpini, or their frogmen, or even the Lancia.  |

Actually the Italians had some of the most advance equipment at the very start of the war. It's just that 50% of them hated Mussolini and he had a habit to attack things before the army was really prepared to do so. The British pearl harbored all their battleships and this is what gave the idea to the Japs. I would like to see Russians and some other German force/faction. The Japs wouldn't fit because there is no melee in coh.

I think the reason that the Soviet Army hasn't been added was because it would take to much time to implement and balance.
As for Italians, I don't think there is a (good) mod with them.
