[demyansk]

[Dumnorix]

Nice city views !
If you like it - I will join your team and spend my full unit packs for this addon.
I have much more and all on the same style.

[Chris10]

thnx guys...[:)]....its coming together little by little...




@Balck...thnx but there is nothing left to do...the framework of the game is almost finished and I wont start changing stuff around let alone changing the complete unit roster...

[Chris10]

FINALLY IRONED OUT THE FEW INCONSISTENCYS IN THE GERMAN UNIT ROSTER AND ADDED BEBROS PLANES AND A FEW OTHER THINGS WHICH WERE MISSING

Updated first post with final german unit roster

[TR]

It looks like I'll have to reinstall this and play it. This looks very intriguing.

[Chris10]

thnx my friend..[:)]

PzC East comes as complete standalone folder..you only have to take a few files from vanilla PzC folder and copy them to PzC East (like the .exe for example)

[demyansk]

Is this mod coming out soon?

Is this mod coming out soon?

when its done my friend...when its done [:D]
The amount of work involved here is hundreds of hours and its a one man project (at least when it comes to the core game).
The framework has been done and Iam in the process of setting up starting units for the Wehrmacht and Axis Minors...once finished I continue with the Red Army

No clue when its done but I will not rush only for the sake of releasing something...
I build it slowly but surely to assure high quality and a low bug count and sometimes I simply have to take a rest for a few days to recharge energy

NO rest allowed. We need this.

By Führer order, the 8th Army as part of Army Group North, has moved into her staging area around Memel.
Other Wehrmacht units will soon start deploying into their staging areas....

8th Army consists of the following units

Thanks, I just was wondering if the mod was out, very nice work and take your time, I don't know how some of you do this stuff, very pleasant surprise with this stuff, thanks again

[Josh]

Well it's massive that's for sure, hope my pc can cope with that... and take a look at the strength numbers; 16 for the German infantry! I mean I'm already afraid of the Russian strength numbers [X(]

Its only the initial strength of Wehrmacht infantry divisions (which was 16.500 nominal strength) but you wont be able to reinforce them to 16...[:'(]

[Josh]

Aha I see, ... so the next logical step (gamewise) would be to make these units ... how do you call it "divide-able" "splittable"? split them up in 2-3 pieces, like WitE has. Cover more ground but have less impact.

not exactly..the PzC engine is far to simple but each fighting division indeed is complemented by one support unit (Recon,Towed Arty,Towed AT or Flak) in order to represent different army branches.

Armor is generally apart and follows his own scaling scheme. Usually 2 units represent one Panzer Division (about 200 tanks = 100 tanks per unit) except german heavy tank and heavy anti tank regiments (1 Unit=aprox 50 vehilces)
