Hi All,

First off for those of you new to BotB here are some basics:
Features include but are in no way limited to:
-The new Automatic Territory Capture system (thanks to AnyGameX) No more flagpoles simply capture territory by having more men in it than your opponent, the more the faster!
-Realistic tank combat featuring historic penetration values, tanks have their turret rotation times reset to the actual speeds of real
life, visibility reduced to reflect the limited line of sight from tanks' vision blocks.
-new units such as the tiger sturmmorser, jagdpanzer IV L70, maultier panzerwerfer, m36 'slugger', sherman jumbo and many more...
-All new skins and maps
-New Doctrines specific to the units named in Historical records of the battle
-And many more changes to the original gameplay and graphics

you can download it from our website here:
http://botb.rtscentral.net/

Well its that time of the year again, ModDB is accepting nominations for its mod of the year.
I think that what Halftrack et al have been able to do with this mod is simply amazing in terms of new content, improved gameplay, change to the original game, and visual improvements. Not to mention with the state of CoH mod tools.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Bravo

Battle of the Bulge is currently ranked 364 out of 8,494 mods, I think we should at least be able to get into the top 100
So this is why I would like to ask you to go to the following link:
Battle of the Bulge on ModDB (http://www.moddb.com/mods/battle-of-the-bulge)
and click on vote now in the nominate this mod window (after the mod summary section)
Get onboard now and you will be ready for some of the things we have planned for 2009:
-A patch (coming soon) to fix the known bugs, some balance issues and add new maps
-A new version eliminating Base buildings, using company commanders to call in all units, based on historically accurate unit formations.
-Small single player scripted missions
-and more....

Note that if you vote as a member ModDB puts more weight on your vote than as a guest.
Also we could really use some articles, reviews and videos to increase the visibility of the mod there.

Please spread the word so we can get more people playing this fantastic mod

Big News!!!


Surprise!!

Well, you were all probably expecting to have to wait at least another month for this but we wanted to whet your appetites for the full patch (due out after Halftrack returns from his Asian trek)! But we know you have already waited long enough for this so here it is;
This hotfix will take care of many of the gameplay issues with BotB, including the 'ubershreck bug' (see below for a full changelist).

We strongly advise that everyone playing online downloads this hotfix as you will not be able to play online against people who do not have it installed!!

download it here: hotfix-201 (http://www.moddb.com/mods/battle-of-the-bulge/downloads/hotfix-201)
and don't forget to vote for BotB (http://www.moddb.com/events/2008-mod-of-the-year-awards/top100) as one of your favorite mods of the year!!


Installation instructions:
Installation is easy:
download the zip file
extract it to your Company of Heroes root folder (ie c:/programfiles/THQ/companyofheroes)
click 'yes' to overwrite the old attribarchive
Enjoy playing!

Changelist:


-Hummel/Wespe howitzer barrage UI error. Stated 'Hummel' for Wepse Barrage; replaced with 'SP gun.'

the game is great but the weapons are too accurate for the damage they do halftrack should lower the accuracy a bit or modify the damage.

not sure if its possible to use it on patch 2.600 but hey someday it will come

@wolf
there should be no change to half track that makes it less realistic
i hate to see half track lose its realistic accuracy
