First off I'm aware that technically it's probably pretty difficult to actually get this in the mod, so don't take it too seriously.

Now I'm guessing for this mod whenever 2.0 comes out you have to own CoH: OF if you want to play british or PE like in the normal game. And this got me thinking, now this could just be a terrible dumb idea, but it popped into my head.

Wouldn't it be cool to allow players who have both CoH and CoH OF the ability to have both factions at their disposal? Meaning, if I only own OF, I can only have a PE account or a british account. But if I own both CoH and CoH OF I can have a US/Brit account or a PE/Wer account. Meaning your company could have Stuarts and Riflemen and such.

I know coding wise it would be a pain, because there would be 6 different account types (US, UK, PE, Wer, US/UK, PE/Wer) but i think in theory it would be pretty bad ass.

Now units like LTs would only work with tommys, so and officers could only work with wer units, but you would still have the ability to have a mix of the units. Of course doctrine wise your doctrine would only affect one faction, but I think it would be pretty cool.

just imagine dealing death out to half tracks with a bren carrier with AP rounds and sticky riflemen!

Would be unfair for the people without OP..
I did think about it, but balance is a bitch, maybe for 3.0^^

[Draygon]

Balance wise I think that would be a bitch and a half to do, but idea wise I think it would be great to have a "Joint Task Force" at your disposal.

Actually, i think it shouldnt be a problem to even allow people WITHOUT opposing fronts to play brits and pe, as we all have the neccesarry files. But Fl- doesnt want to step on any toes at relic, afaik

And balance wise it should be fine to combine the armies, because if its not theres something wrong with the balance (and than a game with for example, 1 pe 1 wehr player against 2 americans wouldnt be fair)

[UnLimiTeD]

It's the hidden Combinations that would make it unfair.
Imagine a PE Halftrack with 2 sniper on it.
Can kill infrantry quite effectively, and perfect to counter enemy snipers!

Opposing Fronts is only $30 USD, buy it! What have you got to lose?

30$! AND UR PRIDE

[Ucross]

what if you're rich and have no pride?

Then you should buy me a premium Navy Field account

Too bad my roommate's computer broke and I lent her the laptop I used to play it =) Oh well, no more games for me again =D

Hmm phil has a female "roommate"

I think most "hidden" combos could be easily remedied. Like the sniper thing? I'm sure would involve simple coding not allowing snipers to get into the PE HT. Though being able to put up a repair bunker and have a load of HTs could be troublesome.
