Eastern Front is a free mod for Company of Heroes. Following the ethos of mimicking a Relic Entertainment expansion pack, Eastern Front has succeeded in adding two full new factions, the Soviet Red Army and the German Ostheer, packed with unique and exciting units to the existing armies - a feat never before achieved in the Company of Heroes world.
Greetings, we have been busy so we are still pending to finish the second & third video for Ostheer; so we decided to post some models we have finished.
A simple but effective "structure", a hole in the ground will provide Ostheer soldiers good cover, although Commonwealth trenches are better. Only five soldiers(up to two squads) can be garrisoned; foxholes are granted by the Fortress Army Tree. Model and animations by Walki.
YES! YEES! SOMETHING I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR! YEEEEEEEESSS!
awww they look so cute, hiding in their little holes :3
Wheres my box of grenades and flamethrower?
I take it the holes are in a set configuration, and don't simply get dug around under the feet of where-ever the soldiers are standing?
Yes, they are basicly a giant trench and they get build like it.
(buried)
How to identify a German on the beach.....Wel he is digging a hole
Nice try...
I see what you did there.
Did you inspirated by Stalingrad, right ? =)
Maybe :P
So is it 5 foxholes build at once and when you entrench it with a squad it will look like that? 5 close together?
Yes
Nice Schützenlöcher, my Grandmother say that the Russian T34 drove over the Foxhole with one Track direct over it and then turn a few minutes until the there is no hole and only german meatsauce, but i see same tactic in an german training film for Panthertank crews. I like this addition for the Game but in real its not funny to sit in a cold rainy night in such a hole until the Water reach over your boots, brrrr !
This sounds like the scene from the film Stalingrad and I don't think the tank crews actually turned over it as it would expose the back/side of the tank to the enemy. In addition Foxholes were dug to be a protection against tanks rolling over you.

See the extra depth? Once a tank started to roll over you, you could just sit down and have 2 feet space between you and the tank threads.
Plz look Film at 7:25 and believe me Soldiers dont built all Foxholes like the Manual says, during my time as Soldier i made my foxhole so that i have not too much work and i see many of them in the trainig area not one was of the same size like the other.
look like a **** hole in world war 2
Nice, how about a little more spreading beteewen them?
Would make the collision model too big. At the moment your infantry won't be able to pass through it.
Fox holes, Cool :)
Can the allies also garrison in them?
If they are neutral they can enter them yes. Basicly works like a British trench.
the foxholes look like poop
