I ask that everyone please go take a look at what we have got so far, we werent, and still arent trying to take any of the community.
I am sorry about the information kinda being scattered, but this wasnt not something we saw happening this early.

Very interesting stuff guys ashame it had to come out this way ive read through allot of the info, sound ideas on the doctrines and upgrades as well as availability, its more or less dymanic in that it looks at global population levels i believe.
How far off are you guys anyway?

Bonte has made a way for emplacements to be used iirc I think we are using that. Movable 17pdrs and such. I may be wrong though.

Similar ot fortress europe mod in the approach? or still with build times, if your looking for maybe a way to move from emplacements both BOTB and fortress Europe have showed that such items as howies and 17pdrs can be made movable items.
but it looks interesting non the less

This is subject to change:
British will build "emplacements" which will be non-unit-specific and act like trenches, you'll be able to garrison things like mortars, ATGs etc. in them
Emplacements will be captureable by enemy units, so you could for example have a Werh Mortar in a captured emplacement

It should be noted that Howies moving is a doctrine ability that needs to be bought before it can happen

Interesting be good to see when the guide and document details are out for clarity on doctrine choices and the like.
Out of interest in terms of campaign length whats the view there?

The plan was, up until today afaik, to have TLS 3 built on the OMG system - After Salans deal today its pretty obvious he's concerned about how we're out to sabotage EIR , and so has no interest in working with us.

Wasn't trying to get into an arguement although I see how it could read like that
My point was that we'll have a "regular" war with territory and a warmap that dynamically shifts depending on main games played, but we've bene planning on building a second system on-top of this to support a TLS-like wargame style system with templates etc, so that when you sign up and get a template assigned to you it is completely teched and balanced and built, it will play in a different system than regular OMG
That was the plan until today, I'm not sure what our plan is now - Probably do that just find another team to run it.

Going to have many different game types as well, that will be chosen in the launcher, as well as the map you want to play, and for regular play who is going to attack/defend.
The Campaign is still being worked on right now, but once its fleshed out the details will be released as well. The one thing for sure on that is, you can have 3-5 companies for regular gameplay (we arent sure why you would want this but its there) but you can only have 1 company for the campaign.
As I said on the forums, there is still alot of information that we havent put together properly to open up to the public

an idea...
cloak in cover, like in the BotB mod. Instead of having unit that can cloak, after being in cover for a short period, they can cloak and you can tell them to hold fire.
Also, a hold fire ability on at-guns, maybe hmg's, and especially tanks, so they won't fire at things you don't want them to fire at (namely, tank destroyers vs infantry, hmg's at tanks etc.)
also another fun thing from botb, all infantry in buildings aren't shown until within 50 meters, this way you can have true ambushes and when u nits are on the defense, they can truly defend, instead of having a bike sit behind a hedge and be mortar's/howied/rocketed to death.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

BoTB does alot of thing that, while they're good from a realism perspective, don't make for fun and engaging gameplay
too many units able to cloak slows gameplay down enormously
BoTB is very focused on changing COH on a fundamental level to more resemble a game like faces of war
OMG is of the mindset that COH is a fantastic game, and we are designing our game to build upon that inherent fantastic-ness, we will leave core systems and functionality as they are because frankly, they don't need to be changed.
