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.

Description
We are close to release the second sneaky peaky video but we have decided to post some screenshots of some of the units of the Schutzen War Camp meanwhile. Hope you enjoy it!
Screenshot of Ostheer's Panzerjagers (used to be named Panzerbüchse/Ofenrohr Troops).
Loving the historical accuracy here: wearing gas masks because the panzershreks don't have face shields.
learning new things everyday haha
Reminds of death corps a bit;)
These guys look badass!!
The gasmask is cool, but their missing the filter can from the front of the mask.
Early Panzerschreck operators wore filterless gas-masks, the masks were used to protect the face from the heat and backblast when the Panzerschreck was fired.
Ohhhhhh, see, i learn something new almost every week! ;)
This was done with the early soviet model RPGs as well all the way up to the 60s. I don't know how exactly, but they fixed it with the RPG-4 and later RPG-7.
First: Why loaders have just pistol ? Should have Kr98.
Second: Why they have rockets on back ? Animation is - he loads himself.
1. It doesn't matter if that guy has a pistol or a Kar98 because they have the same stats. We are probably going to change it.
2. It's eye candy. Sure it would be nice if the rocketcarrier would help the operators reloading the Ofenrohr but there is no such animation nor it would fit into the playstyle of Company of Heroes.
