There is a game starting soon.

I'll start up the game now then.

I've considered buying it after I saw the Eastern Front mod. I've always thought it odd that they haven't officially added an expansion themed around the single largest, deadliest, and most bitter front of the war. For every German death in the west and south, 15 died in the east.

That was rather unfortunate. I started a game with Yacoby, Steampunk and Lord E, and about 2 minutes in my mouse decided to run out of batteries and die. Great timing.



Not to mention that roughly half of the casualties in the entire war were Russian. I can see why they haven't added in Russians, as they would have to change quite a lot to fit them in the way the game is set up right now. It'd be silly to have Russians fighting against Germans in Lyon, for example. I'm hoping that if/when they get around to making a full sequel that they'll add them in.

I own all three Company of Heroes games, but I've only played the first one. I thought it was an excellent game, and if I could ever be bothered with downloading all the updates, I would most definitely play it again.

I'm so awful.

Any way to disable vehicles or at least heavy tanks?

Why don't I get to be on the list?

Pure luck. There's always a chance that a round with hit the engine, making the tank move really slow, or if you're really lucky it'll disable the main gun and make the tank totally useless. But there's not much control over it.

Don't underestimate infantry equipped with bazooka/panzershrecks too. They can take down a tank in a few volleys no sweat, even faster if they have sticky bombs to add to the mix.

But, I'm not very good with tanks either. I kid you not, when I looked at the stats for the last game I played with Yacoby and Lord Elendiir? I built 16 armor. I lost 17. :facepalm:

Most tank turrets are very slow. Run in corcles around them with AT infantry and take them down.

This does not work when they have a .50 cal gunner on top of the tank.

I meant if they could be removed from the game so no side could build them.

Last skirmish I played the computer had 2 heavy tanks before I had even built a light tank or anti-tank weapon of any kind. I didn't even have a heavy tank factory yet.

Oh you meant in game options. No I don't think there's such a thing.

What difficulty are you playing on?

Normal. I just don't know how the computer builds so fast and gets so much fuel.

One of these days, ONE OF THESE DAYS!

Mwuahaha, just beat the computer on Lyon with an incredibly cheap tactic. The CPU and I were separated by a river and 3 connecting bridges so I barb-wired the entrances and put tank traps everywhere. Then I captured and fully built up every point inside my borders. I got all the upgrades possible even in my infantry specialization tree. I sent out some camouflaged snipers to scout and used my howitzer special ability and the actual canons so the snipers didn't have to risk their lives. I did try to get some kills with the snipers to get their rank up but it took a long time and I only managed to get one guy to rank up, and he only did it once.

It did take a looooooooooooong time.

That's not cheap, that's effective

I use my snipers as scouts all the time, to spot incoming assaults and to take out some elements (mortar-crews, AT-guns) to help minimize casualties when I'm about to push through.

Hey so I only have the original CoH, no expansion, I can still play with ya'll online if I were so inclined, correct?

Correct indeed

Sorry. Fixed

But then you are missing out on some of the best units in the game


If you are playing against Axis they usually have Stug Assault Guns out about the time you get the first couple of things out of the motor pool as they get slightly more resources that you do to make up for the bad AI.

I usually skip the Weapon Support Centre when playing Allies, which saves about 15 fuel and allows me to get an M8 and AT out that bit sooner.

Ak, wrong button. Pressing post was not intended. IMHO This forum should let me delete my posts within a 5 minute period. It would save a lot of problems <_<

I can play several games today.

just post here if you want have round or two with me.

Operation Stonewall perhaps?
I would like to try it out

Yeah sure. I can play some. Stonewall takes forever though.

There is mod called Eastern Front which adds Russian faction.
It is great mod :nod:




Great.

I'm up for another game sometime today, and this time my mouse won't die right at the start of the game. It'd also be cool to play as the Axis if anyone is up for it, but I'm happy enough to go Allies if everyone else wants to. I miss my glorious Tiger when I play as either of the Allies.

I am up for a game whenever. I can't play as much as yesterday though.

@Melvar I far prefer the Wehrmacht to any of the allied factions.

Anyone fancy a game around say 7.00pm GMT?
