CWC is a C&C Generals Zero Hour Total Conversion and also works with "The First Decade". It takes place from 1980-1989 and it features realistic units from the 80's.
We want CWC to be a mixture of realism and fun. CWC is more realistic than vanilla Generals, with real life weapon systems and side specific characteristics.
CWC offers 2 factions: Russia and USA. The Russians tend to use tanks and artillery (for example: T-72 / T-80, BM-21, 2S1 only to mention a few) while the USA rely on aircraft and high tech units (for example: F-15, F-16, F-117, A-10 etc.).

Also we have a lot of infantry in the game, not all of them are just cannon fodder. So engaging a T-80UK with a US Rifleman won't be a good idea. Other infantry units can be a real pain in the ass to armoured units though. We want the players to use more infantry than in regular Generals, where infantry wasn't the big deal. In CWC Infantry can be very useful, even against tanks if you have LAW/RPG-Soldiers.

On April 20th, 2004 CWC was released to the public, which happens to be exactly 9 years ago today. That's a great reason to celebrate, if you ask us. But before we open the champagne, we also have two announcements to make:
 Our forum is even older than the mod itself, and we had to close it for new registrations a while back. Starting today, we want to provide an easier and more modern way for you to stay in contact with us, which is why we created a
 




Be sure to like it and spread the word! It will keep you informed about possible updates or other CWC related news.
Which brings us to the second announcement. If you ever got bored by CWC, you now need to find another excuse for not playing it anymore. Today, on our 9th birthday, we proudly present
 




For those of you who don't know yet, that's the codename for a random map generator for CWC. It can generate complete and fully playable skirmish maps in a matter of seconds. And do you know what's even better? It's open source! You can download, modify or extend the source code.So now, on to the party!

Yeah I was wondering why this faction is included on their site,
and there is no word of them in game.
Is that just a bade joke ?
I mean c'mon why you have do that to us ?!?!?!
You guys teased us and . . . Nothing ?!
We want European Alliance !!
We want Leopard 2,Challenger 1,Panavia Tornado,
Special Air Service,AMX-30s and more !!
I believe that I'm not only one.
Mod is best,and with EA it would be more of that,

i PM CWC_shadows he give me some idea what EA looks like this is what he said "Basically the EA faction would have used some american/german/french/british equipment as this was the most common one in european service. For example G3 rifles/MG3 MG for infantry, MILAN AT-weapons, M113/Marder1A3 APCs, Leopard 1+2 tanks, Roland/Gepard AA tanks, Tornado aircrafts etc." can you imagine how awesome all those things in game i hope once more they will work again for the last time somehow they will for EA. we love you CWC_team please come back..

That what you have said is basically a German Army !!
They have done something I'm sure but they have leaved
that faction in the dust and said :
'' Who cares about Euro Forces ! ''
But their biggest mistake is that they have put it to the site and on some pics that this faction is in development,
they broke many hearts>
I remember that I saw this mod few years ago and visited their page,I saw factions and when clicked on EA icon
there was a blank spot,I was like ''OK it is in development,
I will download mod later,maybe in few months or even years ''
And than happened this,they said it is done !!!
On their official forum I found fan ''team'' that is
''making'' this faction,but unfortunately they are just debating which weapons faction should use and they are doing nothing more than that,and there is no progress.
I think that making of this faction is possible with good will
of respective players-moders,some model borrowings from other
released-dead-unreleased mods and with Gods help little
assistance of some people from the original crew.

CWC is a finished mod, real life caught up on the CWC team and thus they have no time to add the European Alliance into the game as was originally intended.

This mod is how Generals should have been. The quality of the work done in CWC is remarkable. I followed this mod ever since I first saw it in 2005, the first things that caught my eye was BMPs floating on water, just like in real life. The only game I had seen that in was Operation Flashpoint. So began a long wait, I visited the CWC website every week looking for updates, and every time there was an update it gave me a smile. I eventually registered at the CWC forums and posted a few posts. My…
