First of all, I wanted to let everyone know that we were selected as one of ten mods for ModDB.com's Editor's Choice Awards. You can view the run-down here: http://www.moddb.com/events/2007-mod-of-the-year-awards/features/25958/editors-choice-winners-showcaseCompany of Heroes won many awards for being the best of the RTS breed in 2006. While it was officially declared that Company of Heroes Online would only be delivered to China, (any word if it made it there yet?) fans took matters into their own hands and started Europe in Ruins. Europe in Ruins adds persistence to the army you control as you fight battles that decide an overall outcome. Veteran units that stay alive stay with your forces can be summoned in future battles. This places even more value on your units and strategies through discouraging hopelessly desperate rushes. While still early in development, Europe in Ruins now supports the expansion pack for Company of Heroes, Opposing Forces, and plans to include war-maps to track the progress of your side's campaign. For RTS nuts looking to add life to an already amazing game, Europe in Ruins should be a top choice. Furthermore, we've been announcing something 'big' within the next two weeks recently. I'm sure you think we are calling out another date only to let you down again, and well, we may. But we have adjusted our goals to get you something worth playing sooner than trying to push out a huge release riddled with bugs. Ideally we wanted to run the two systems side by side, but we think moving everything over to 2.0 is best. So, without further ado, our statement is: We hope to be releasing a 2.0 beta in the next two weeks. This will release will incorporate both OF factions, the Panzer Elite and the British. In addition, it will move us to a new website and incorporate new features such as single resource purchasing, the rating system, and a new feature called 'War Points'. This release will be a step-back in some regards as certain veterancy and doctrine issues will not be initially available. However, we hope to be able to incorporate them very quickly. We are confident that you will enjoy what we are bringing to the table in 2.0. It has been under design for quite a while and should be a great chance for us to really prove ourselves in the modding arena. |

 Step out of the way. He'll keep going until he hits a wall, that being Akranadas. Let him go unmolested, his journey will take less time. |

Hmmm We need a Trailer; They used the wrong toutorial :O It still uses the VP system; Might give wrong hopes Europe in Ruins (Company of Heroes, Multiplayer) Company of Heroes won many awards for being the best of the RTS breed in 2006. While it was officially declared that Company of Heroes Online would only be delivered to China, (any word if it made it there yet?) fans took matters into their own hands and started Europe in Ruins.
