OMG (Operation Market Garden) is a persistent multiplayer only modification for Company of Heroes. We've expanded into Opposing Fronts' factions, added new and exclusive maps. We also plan on adding deep and useful veterancy bonuses, new doctrines and an interactive war map. We put a strong emphasis on balance, community, transparency, and fun. We are currently in an open Beta, and
are constantly improving, adding OMG features and content.

At this moment at time we have twenty six people working to develop OMG, from designing and balance to artwork and coding. See a full staff list here.

OMG's Content

OMG offers a persistent war between the regular Company of Heroes factions. These include the Allies, US and British, and the Axis, Wehrmacht and Panzer Elite. You pick from the four factions that are available in a role playing campaign that adds depth to the the titanic struggle. Alongside the WAR accounts OMG will also offer a skirmish mode, or FUN accounts, in which you can play as any army. This allows you to try out different company builds, strategies, or just wish to play a game with no strings attached. OMG features an easy to use website based launcher that will functions as your War Control Panel in which you can do everything relating to the management of your account. You can design your company's layout, create and join games, change password options, choose what map you want to play on, and has a real time chat function.

Doctrines, Advanced Training System, and Resource Bonuses
Each company can have its own doctrine. These are the same three doctrines per army in Company of Heroes, but each doctrine has three trees; each tree has 4 branches, and each branch has five tiers. These abilities are all intertwined, some with prerequisites, and allow for more varied builds and specialized companies. As a result, we will have 50-60 abilities per doctrine with a total of about 600. Our plan is to have players' companies constantly evolving, and getting to pick and choose from each of the five tiers available. Each step will cost one victory point, which you get from winning games. You use victory points to specialize your company and are the currency in multiple systems. These systems allow you to hone your company and tailor fit it too your needs. The doctrine trees have little in the way of direct statistic modifications. This is because we have added another dimension to
company development. This is Advanced Training System, or ATS for short, is where you buy statistic buffs with Victory Points. The more you spend on them the better they get, but it comes at a cost. There are minor drawbacks to each choice to help balance it out and you'll have to put careful thought on what you want to spend on.

Veterancy
In OMG there are five levels of veterancy. The first three improve your units fighting capability. At the fourth level you can custom name your unit, and at the fifth you can add a custom skin to it. This system promotes smart game play as it urges you to conserve your units, use them wisely, and make sure that they retreat off the field when worn down.

In-game Changes
We have added more variety in the ways units deploy. Infantry can enter the field in a half track; some units in both factions can parachute in; there the default walking on, glider drops for British Commando players, and Fallschirmjager arrive out of buildings. We also have some new ideas on heavy crew served weapons like the Flak 88, 25-pounder, and Bofors. When you build it a truck arrives and constructs it. However, you will have two new options. You can quickly abandon the weapon, getting your crew get out of there, and leaving the weapon in place. This prevents your crew's experience from being lost. Alternatively, you can have the weapon pack up and move. However, this takes a while, and you'll have to plan ahead. By clicking the pack up button a new truck comes and the
weapon packs up. Then you can move it to a new area, build the weapon, or take it off map.

As on heavy crew served weapons lighter ones, mortars, machine guns, and anti tank guns can retreat in the same fashion with normal retreat, in which the crew packs up the weapon then run off the map, and fast retreat where the crew just abandons the weapon and runs off map.

Maps
OMG supports 41 custom maps, with 27 of those being exclusive to OMG. We have an active and busy mapping community working to create fun platforms for out Company of Heroes modification. Be sure to check out the Mapping Forums for the latest news.

Game Mode
There are three game modes in Operation Market Garden. Map Control Points or MCP and Victory Point or VP determine how your population gain or loss is calculated, and Spectator mode is for live shoutcasting of your games.

Operation Market Garden Video Replay Reviews
OMG has tireless shoutcasters that provide you with your OMG fix wherever you can plug into the world wide web. Currently our main shout-cast is In The Foxhole With Andy & Nick. They work hard to get out one shout-cast out a week for your viewing pleasure.

Community
OMG has an active and hard working community who are dedicated to improving OMG through communication, testing, humor, and friendliness. This summary is from our information superhighway OMG:Wiki. On this you can find all the information about OMG that you will ever need. We also have an active forums where you can talk about everything OMG.
