Cross of Iron is a Company of Heroes (CoH) mod that’s main aim is to balance the four factions in the game and their respective doctrines.

Its secondary aim is that of historical accuracy, but without making severe compromises in gameplay.
One of the main features of this mod is that it intends to do the above without making major gameplay changes to the original CoH experience, so no one-hit-kill AT shots or huge-range Howitzers.

A very important feature of Cross of Iron is tailoring the units, abilities and upgrades to be more specific for each Army Doctrine, balancing cons with pros, while also adding some new build options.

As examples, the fearsome Knight’s Cross Holders are now available only to the Wehrmacht Terror Doctrine in order to give them a better late-game infantry unit and more incentive to play with, while the Panther needs an extra 'phase' in order to unlock it and the US receive an AT Bazooka Squad to better counter Axis armour.

Another important feature would be the usage of High-Quality community skins that better differentiate one 'army' from the other as well as make the game more immersive, with different camos and accessories. These HQ skins carry on to the SP Campaigns as well.

Of course! We're a little behind on a patch, but we're also working on another full release, which will hopefully be ready in another 6 to 8 weeks.

We're heavily bogged down with planning to expand the mod to other theaters, and we've already extented the time frame the mod covers from June '44 to May '45, instead of just the Normandy fighting (June - September/October '44).

Rest assured good things are coming, but there's a lot of work till we're ready for another full release, especially since we'll be adding numerous new units, weapons, and vehicles. We also plan on giving the ingame UI a bit of a new look while we're at it.

Proper german flag skins of the period would be a nice touch, but we're persuing a no-swastika policy for those offended by seeing it used for entertainmentn and for our german players who can't have it in a game by law.

WTF? Is this for Opposing Fronts? It doesn't mention that anywhere on the page but it mentions that there are "four factions" in CoH when, in fact, only two exist; the Axis, and the Allies.

This mod will work on CoH and all expansions, so long as your game is patched up to at least v2.5. This mod does add to all four factions, however if your game only has the original two, then that's all that'll be available in this mod as well. We can't give you all the factions in this mod if you don't own the required game/expansion, not only because it's illegal, but also because it'll be at least 5Gb.

Currently only English is supported in Cross of Iron, however, we're always looking for people with different language versions of the game who can do translations.

If you (or anyone) has a version of Company of Heroes in a language other than english and is interested in joining the team to do english - (your language) translations, please email us at cross.of.iron.mod [AT] gmail [DOT] com

Yes, this mod will work in the Czech version of CoH, however all text will be in English. If you want to help but can't translate, all language .ucs files are appreciated.

To find yours, go to the directory you have CoH installed to, by default it'll be something like C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\. From there, go into CoH\Engine\Locale\(your language folder)\ and copy the file located in the folder.

If anyone wants to help and has v2.601 of the game (the latest version) it would be greatly appreciated if they could email their .ucs file (of a language other than English) to cross.of.iron.mod [AT] gmail [DOT] com

Anyone who can help will of course be mentioned in the Credits of the Readme file, and i'll be deeply grateful to them.
