RO:HoS (collectors edition) items.

[Zetsumei]

Lets try to think up fun items that could realistically be used in a collectors edition item.

Items that I can think of that I would find interesting to be included in a collectors edition would be:

* Soviet ushanka (sadly head sizes differ)
* Zeltbahn / Plash palatka (if you buy a few collectors edition you could make a tent )
* Map/Big poster of the entire city of Stalingrad.
* A the making of DVD
* Miniature statue of the Dancing Children and the Crocodile
* A cheap *** web cam (together with added face recognition in the game for head tracking).
* A desk microphone
* A history book based on a compressed version alan's research documentation :F.
* A model kit + glue for a T34 tank

 

[Nezzer]

I'd add Anthony Beevor's book to the list xD

 

[Bobdog]

Poster+History book would be real cool.

 

[Floyd]

Large poster with pic of posed TWI principals and signatures.

 

[Bobdog]

Oh, maybe like a CD or wartime music too. It's probably all public domain, too, so it'd be inexpensive to include

* Map/Big poster of the entire city of Stalingrad.

With historical annotations, showing the locations of all the battles in the game.

 

[Fedorov]

i like the ushankas, making of DVD and the model t34 kit.....but make it a 1:18 scale model!!!! (yes i collect military stuff like model vehicles....1:18 collectors have been BEGGING for somebody to produce a 1:18 t34)

* Soviet ushanka (sadly head sizes differ)
* Zeltbahn / Plash palatka (if you buy a few collectors edition you could make a tent )

Too bad I own all those three already. But well, extra ones wouldn't really hurt

A Plash palatka replica would be the best choice. I think that could be also produced on a shoestring.

A german dog tag would be nice, too!
(I think soviet army didnt have any)

A russian or german helmet (proberly a replica too) is also possible.
(The OperationFlashpoint Dragon Raising Collector Edition had one, too.)

6th Amy map / Barmaley fountain

How about a copy of the only surviving 6th Amy map from the Stalingrad battle, which I own, LOL, sorry it

With historical annotations, showing the locations of all the battles in the game.

That would definitely be cool. A big poster, showing a drawn or fotographic map of Stalingrad with markers giving the name and a short description of the place, maybe together with a small picture from the HoS map.

Splitting the special version into two different versions would also be interesting, one for each side ingame. Slightly different cover, different bonus items.

Anyway, I would suggest a CD/DVD featuring the official soundtrack (if there is one). An art book could also be interesting, preferably also featuring some historical informations about the content of the images.

a k98k

 

[Reise]

How about a medal of some kind? Or a pin?

 

[{Core}Craig]

I would like something like artwork (poster/cards) .. maybe a small tank model. ..

What I would really love is a Tshirt or hat. Sizes would make this tricky.




Although who will just be lazy and buy on steam . . pdf of the map lol. ..

 

[Capt.Cool]

A map (poster) of the stalingradcity, but with the locations of the maps that are featured in the game!!!

So if I play a map ingame, I can look at the poster and see "ah, there took this battle place"

 

[The_Emperor]

Make two kinds of collector's edition a German and a Soviet one.
So it differs in the loadouts like this:

German or Soviet Steelhelmet
Knights Cross or Hero of Soviet Union Order
German or Soviet dogtag
German or Soviet tank glue kit

The rest comes for both the same
