Hi 130th Panzer,
These troops actually belonged to NATO member countries - before we persuaded their leaders to put them into UN gear, and send them over to help settle our situation for us.
Seriously though - a small oversight on our part. Sincere apologies. Don't worry though - it won't detract from the gameplay in the slightest.
best wishes
sunray
Dont NATO troops just look like normal soldiers? As in they dont wear blue or anything?
Either way, it doesnt bother me, I love the security squad, nice size, great at long range combat, and generally great all round.
Yes, as far as I know, NATO troops do look just like normal troops. It's just a bit of a muckup in the squad naming - that carried over to what they were being called in the screenshot descriptions of the first post. No big deal really.
Everyone can see what they are on the in-game screens anyway - regardless of what their squad name is. A UN vest/helmet/beret, shows everyone exactly what they are.
best wishes
sunray
If it really bugs some people, I can imagine it being quite easy to remove the 4 'N-A-T-O' in the security squad name and put in 'UN' instead.
Hello All
Rules of Engagement Mod (RoE)
**********************************************
Wildgeese Mod has been scrapped in favour of 2 mods that were developed from it.
Wildgeese2 is a longer project and will contain new models t.b.a. later.
However a smaller mod in the intrim period has been completed as "Playable"--(ucs and icons still to do as well as FE stuff)
This is RoE Alpha.
based on Wildgeese it has been substantially altered to a different mod.
Based on UN forces containing NATO Factions
USA forces
V
Balkan forces
and
Rebels/Terrorist and Extremest forces (Now left Generic to avoid offence)-------------But they are substantial with
"Cells" iEDS---------------------coding to accomodate this New type of play--------------------and UN/Nato forces can field a "Cadre" of specialist groups to counter act these along with UK and BUNDS forces.
Coding new and old has been created to accomodate this new play ---especially where building/urban combat is concerned.
Only inf and a few light vehicles are involved.
Special forces from sas to seals have had extra attention.
New munitions including anti -building weapons to CS gas have been created
Also auto weapon switching in the squads (ai also uses)
and GFX changes within the squads
eg--a squad ordered to down packs----will do so to gain more speed (Fx change) and ordered to shoulder packs--will do so (More ammo) and Fx will change----------so on and so on-there are many other changes including Close assault buildings.
Although balancing has been a nightmare (Specially with ieds) we have managed to accomodate all types.
The game is now playable
We need to obtain approval from another mod team for use of some assets
If obtained then we will provide screenshots.
Its really a Mod re UN/nato light assets against Insurgients and Terrorists or Balkan incurrsions--you have the choice in the trees.
TREES
CW now UN.
Can Field
NATO-Bunds Force
NATO-UK Force
Anti-Terrorist Forces
Allies-------now USA
Tactical Light Recon Group
Infantry
Forward Technical Group
Axis--now Serbian and Mercenary, Paramilitary
PE now Generic
Terror cells
Extremeists
Rebels.
Terror Cell planting ieds

Again the mod contains new coding
Thankyou
Cauldron Mod team
**I personally wish to thank BurtondrummerNY and The Zombie mods Team for their generous use of their assets from the Mod they are lovingly crafting.
As a result of their sharing we are further along with our mod than would have been the case!!***********************
Again Thanks to the openess of the team
Its their effort that has seriously helped us
With respect

Looking forward to it, might be interesting to play as Terrorists and employ some underhanded tactics
Hey guys! I see your doing into some modern stuff. Well I have a pack of Modern weapons rigged and fully ingame (thx to Jorge) (with skin), that I'm planning on release, If you are interested in getting them earlier then Pm me.
Hello Niftyeye
Pm sent to you
Hello Aidas2.
Thankyou very much for your kind offer!
We have sent a Pm to you
Thank you all for your interest
And Yes The PE are now Very "Sneaky" very "Sneaky" indeed and provide a VERY challenging opponent.

Short review of the Rules of Engagement mod
Firstly, new models, weapons, and of course units and more detailed trees, I love it.
Both sides balance quite nicely, Iv had a good couple of hour and a half matches now, despite the Humvees, constant Rangers and German Forces attacking, the Serbians held firm, and the Terrorists were causing a constant pain.
The AI make use of their units very effectively, on the Hochwald Gap we were converging on their bridge, and suddenly a large group of Serbian Paramilitary appeared from the smaller bridge, wiping out a bunch of UN Security Troops before my US AI spammed them to death with mortars.
Did notice a couple of things, one was that a Humvee made my British Lt 'freeze' by simply being near him, I couldnt get him to move.
Another was that a random howitzer-sized explosian would fall on my HQ every now and again, I wasnt sure who was doing it, or what caused it.
But this is only an Alpha so overall, great mod, and a big improvement over Wildgeese in every way
You guys have really gone beyond your abilities with this one, excellant work
so you can only play this if you have TOV? not with just coh:op if so ill get TOV when you get a beta ver the only problem i have is PE now Generic will you guys give that faction a name at some point even if it's maid up it would be better then calling them Generic or useing pe keep up the great work this is the mod iv'e been looking forward to
Last edited by esco7800; 28th Jan 10 at 5:14 PM.
Yes, I'm affraid RoE is made only for ToV - version 2.601. But with all the great mods in development, it is certainly worth the money to get ToV.
I hope these pics turn out OK on the forum. They are both of my favourite troops. The first is of a Bundeswehr KSK Commando squad -
And the second is of a dismounted Bundeswehr Panzer Grenadier squad -
The Pz Grenadiers shown, have not yet received the weapons packages I will upgrade them with.
There are many new features in this mod - bringing it very much in-line with real life. You will enjoy it.
@esco7800 - Yes, they will have a name - yet to be finalised - but it will be ficticious - to cater for the political sensitivity of its players.
best wishes
sunray

@sunray sound great and the pic look vary well done I will be picking up tov for this mod some quick ? have you added on map heavy artillery and air strikes? and if you have time some pixs of the serb forces
Last edited by esco7800; 28th Jan 10 at 6:12 PM.
Hey those KSK Commandos look a lot like SWAT :P
I can't wait to play this mod.
yea they look a little like swat mybe you guy could give them some camo with the blue they have and add black but even if you dont they look good
Hello all,
Again thank you for your comments re the mod.
Although still in Alpha stage , it is progressing apace to Beta.
Much is still to be added (and much has been added since the alpha)
We intend to very shortly to ask for a few volunteers to Walk the mod
not so much for "Testing" but for ideas and improvements.
we know there is much still to do, But it is progressing well.
We aint as polished as a LOT of mods out there and will never be!
Our small Cauldron Mod group are very informal---we throw ideas into
a pot-------mix it----------and sees what comes out----we dont have the
artistic Temproment or skill that is shown throughout this community!
Hence our use of The Zombiemods superb models (With permission)
and full credit to them
Its their (along with others) openness that allows us to progress
Again our thanks to them.
Niftyeye,
Thanks for you imput and review,This has been of great use to us.
we will sort out those problems!
Re the "Random" arty hit on your HQ------------its deliberate--------guess you did not find the "Spotter"
AI only uses!.
Again thankyou for your time.
esco7800,
Points noted,
we will post screens of the Serbian forces shortly.
There are/will be arty in the release mod
Aircraft/ helis will be used but not seen ------------we cant model for toffee!!!------------but they will be there.
Again we thank you for your time and imput.
BurtondrummerNY
Hello,
We are still trying to get the mod uploaded to another provider for your use
we are having problems with this.
(Dont understand why you cant download it from sendit----others have no prob
But will endeavour to get it to you)
You are correct-the bunds security are Swat models from your mod as is a large proportion of your superb
models------------they appear in many guises in the mod------------they now have camo overalls as per GK36 units of the Bunds security force.
There are 6 type special forces units all with different variations of uniform--some our own
and some based on your Swat figure.
There are 5 type Humvee variants ALL based on your Humvee from your Zombiemod.
(Some are shown in the above threads links)
But please if you object in anyway the use of your assets then please Tell us,
we will be pleased to remove them
It would be a shame as they are great models
but we would understand.
We are and always will be "Transparent and open" with our mods.
Again we thank you for your interest and comments.
Further news shortly.
With regards
Cauldron mod team.

thanks keep up the great work any help needed let me know
esco7800,
You wanted some pics of the Serbs - try these:
Serb infantry patrol -
Serb regulars - from two angles -
Serbian Pioneer squad -
Serbian recoiless jeep -
And a great big thank you, and much credit, goes to tankdestroyer and his modelling team, for the creation of the recoilless jeep. It's a great model - and we thank you for having an open use policy.
During the coming days, I will try to give you a few more - just to whet your appetite.
Remember, this is still our alpha version - some of these troops could still change.

Ah those recoiless jeeps... they really are a pain in the ass to deal with, weak as hell, but have good range, I do love flanking them with a Squad of British Troops though
hiya
will try the advanced squadleader mod.
would realy like to test your other mods
but couldn't find any download link for them.
cya
hmmm i got a problem with squadleader mod
i start the mod it loads the game but when company off heroes
should log into relic it doesn't.
instead it ask me to insert opposing forces disc
but when i put the disc in game say cant verify disc
so only option is to exit to desktop.
help
looks goods you guy are doing great from what i can see geting tov this weekend
Hello all
esco7800,
Your interest has been noted and you have been added to list for "running in" the Roe beta mod----------we will inform you in due course.
Thank you for your interest
niftyeye,
If you think those are bad wait till you meet the New "Infiltrators"-they are a nightmare!!-----------you will have noticed that a couple of trees have been blanked off-----we had a whole tree of British current atagonists-------but we were advised it was too "sensitive"-They were even worse.
Beta wont be long!!
kiander,
Thank you for your interest, The reason you are having your problem is NONE of our mods are Multiplayer compatible----they are all singleplayer only!--hence the specific ai.
Turn off or disable your Broadband link---------and you will have no probs----------it will play as normal.-----in otherwords---no net connection when you play the mod.
Thanks again for your interest.
With regards

Hello All
Kiander,
We are pleased you got it to work and hope we were of some assistance to you
Thanks for letting us know.
esco7800,
Thank you for the compliment,But its the like of Demoss and others who were the basis of our troops and Zombiemod for some of the models, we just reskinned and redressed them to get an acceptable model. we are no where near the standard of the models of mods like Zombiemod or Modern coh or eastern front-----really outstanding mods.
But we try and concentrate on the gameplay---well we try anyway!!---------but our female skinner was over the moon with the compliment--as she is learning her trade.
Again thanks very much.

I hope I am not speaking out of turn here, but what would not go astray, is someone who can make icons for all the new squad types, and weapons packages.
If you are able to help in that way, a small PM to Mr & Mrs Smith would certainly be appreciated.
Just to also let everyone know - I foolishly overlooked inserting a credit for the use of the recoilless jeep, in my last screenshot update. Apologies to tankdestroyer and his fabulous team of modellers - and full credit to them for allowing the modding community free use of the recoilless jeep.

Hello all
Ok Rules of Engagement (Beta) released.
It aint polished, it aint presentation ready,
Icons are naff,Ucs sparse.
But the gameplay is complete
And we want to see if its worth going on
It aint Rts---------it aint more troops wins.
Its designed more for urban combat and gives the gamer more "Choices" for gamestyle
wether full on assault--heavy defence or very sneaky.
We have left "race" descriptions vague deliberately (we DO NOT want to offend anyone)
It is as is------Like it or hate it-----------its your choice.
We made it for Fun!
We would personally again like to thank the **Zombie Mod team** for the use of their assets
weapons
swat
Humvees
without these our poor standins would not have made the impression that theirs do
and all the others listed below for their help and assets
This Mod contains work from the community

NEW MOD in PIPELINE
We have no doubt the odd "bug" will show up
BUT its stable---------------no CTDs in 25 test games all races all trees

Hello All,
Thank you for Pms and emails.
No we are not dead,
We have been working, slowly and consistantly with Roe2.
We have redone the Nato Brits with proper loadouts,new anims and skins and more sounds---we have spent a lot of time on the brits from Marines to Rifle Brigade.
Same for U.S.A and Bunds as well as U>N.
Also overhauled serbian / rebels/ fundamentalists (A particular group is causing internal "Problems" as to sensitivity--even though the sprites are done-----but we will resolve!)
AI is Modernised (some major additions)
Weapons are upgraded (all sounds attached)
we will post some screenies in the near future
along with more depth of play,
No Not dead--Just quiet!!
Thank you
Cauldron mod team.

nice work guys
any links or news available for this mod?
Only recently reinstalled COH and wanted to add it to my list of favourites, but cant appear to find a link for it :S
Hello Niftyeye
Private Message sent
Thanks for enquiry
With compliments

Too bad I missed out on this one, have had coh less than a year, but this sounds exactly like what I was looking for. Hope RoE2 is still in the works.
Insanity is the exception in individuals. In groups, parties, people, and the times, it is the rule.
- Nietzche -
Hello rev_draconis
Thanks for enquiry
The answer is yes to is there a RoE2
in fact a fully playable Beta has been given to a number of forumites-----so it does excist
However as our team is made up with come and go modders it requires some spit and polish
This is how we work , but it will be finished and then released.
One of our major upsets was the pulling of an entire Race---a certain Middle east org. which resulted
in some disquiet with some modders.
So another Race is been substituted.
But still ongoing.
Thanks for interest
Mr&Mrs Smith
Very kewl, indeed. I am working on my own private mod that is generally based on Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising novel.
A what if kind of mod, a US/UK/W.GER vs. USSR/E. GER/?(haven't decided)
I love CoH but as a military veteran of the 80's and 90's a more modern setting is much more appealing to me.
Glad to hear that it is still in the works. Can't wait to see what the new version brings.
Got sent this mod ages ago, its still great.
One of the issues is though that the Serbian Headquarters cant be destroyed :O
Hello all
Been quiet but busy
just to let you know we have done a series on mods based on our ROE mod-----------but learning as we go and improving.
Our skills are limited----but we are learning (our modelling is crap, skinning fair, coding good)
anyway
we have done below mods------presently been tested-----and finalised (all playable)
1, Nato v Syria
2, Ifor/Kfor Balkans
3 Vietnam
4 Israeli 6day war
5 Spanish civil war (My Fav)
Screenies later next week
One (Definately) or more to be released for xmas
These are all Wargame type Mods (with speed control)-----and aint Rts.
Nor are they as good as the Premier mods coming soon--------------
but they are fun and give a good game (All play different-----all different coding)
More details later
