Sorry to ask this: l just registered but when l go to the war control panel l can only select american units (which I cannot access as l do not own the original) so l was wondering how can l create british squads so that l can play

[Censuraxis]

Im afraid that at this point in time, EIR does not support the Opposing Fronts expansion. Sorry 

[Siazo]

ok l think those in charge need to take off description on moddb because it lists a 3.8 OF download and lists the game under opposing fronts

[Siazo]

sorry possbly ignore the last post, does this mean l can play as the original factions even though l only own OF?

[Silver1Wolf3]

Nope, approximately 4-5 months ago I was in your shoes and I had to buy the original game to play. Sorry .

Well... the dev team was working on the 2.0 patch with OF factions included, but they never finished it and they dissapeared...It's kinda lame cause they were almost done and promised us a long time ago to update it to 2.0...

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.

What a shame..

I'll say I look forward to systems that prevent people from doing stupid things like spamming 15 snipers, but I think are going to have to be seriously tweaked/nerfed to fit in EiR. PE won't be too bad but will have a few quirks (G43 Volley, as an example). More than anything I hope the dev team would have the sense to make trenches cost munis (50-100ish). Glider crushing will haveto be looked at, too. Anyway...I just think that brits ruined vCoH, and by their nature will go a long way towards killing EiR. So, unless the dev team does a spectacular job with them, they seem like they will blow. Though I have to say, I'd really like to get a vet 3 EiR captain .

They wanted to make the commandos dropable by parachute? -so thats fixed ^^

Trenches are not needed in EiR, in the same way 17 Pounders, 2"Mortars, Vickers .303s should no longer be emplacements, but mobile. If there are no trenches it simplifies the task of balancing. However, Bren carriers, Bren guns, Rifle nades and Stuarts should not be overpriced, as without trenches the infantry sections lose their equaliser.

If 2.0 is worked on in the future it should be for the developers to make the British and PE different from their vCoH renditions, for example the British could be a heavy counter to heavy axis armour by utilising the Firefly and 17 Pounder while the PE could be what is the 'glass cannon' of what they are already with a speciality against infantry as the MP44 and G34 abundance realises along with the PIV IST and Armoured cars (doctrine choices aside).

Don´t waste more time talking about this, nobody cares, because there won´t be PE or Brits for now.

For the spamming units problem, maybe purchasing multiple units will increase the unit cost. (for example if i were to spam 10 tommies, the price might jump from 450 mp to 550 mp each). Maybe the devs should consider that, and make the increments for the "non spammable" units higher.

And gliders should crush over pinned or suppressed units.
