Peter. Maybe if you stopped putting makeup all over his face he would stop impersonating you.

4 companies per battalion

1st Div - 9 infantry battalions, so 36 companies (players)
2nd Div - 36
3rd Div - 36
4th (Armoured) div - 4 battalions, 16 companies
5th (Armoured) div - 6 battalion (Jul44 - Feb 45), 24 companies

So 118 players for the Canadians


Say 200 divisions of Germans with 16 companies per division (both conservative estimates) would be 3200 players

etc.

Loved the "makeup" comment LOL

Didn't they try this a few years ago? But as a shooter? World War 2 online was the name. I don't remember hearing anything about it recently I'm guessing that means it folded.

I believe they are coming out with their expansion. Updated graphics and gameplay. I played it for the trial period but the graphics were horrible and the game play well gamey.

They dont seem to have got past the early war period which sucks IMO.

WW2OL is still alive and well. It has its faults, but it is still an amazing WWII FPS.

The equipment lists extend to mid-war now. Sherman, Pz IV G, Crusader III, P-38, FW 190, Spitfire Mk IX.

Tnext upgrade will introduce Tigers and Churchills, but not, alas, the Churchill Crocodile. smile.gif

Things are OK. Don't do much Usenet anymore.

I'm blogging, though. I can't stand myself.
