Battlefield 1918 is a total conversion modification for Battlefield 1942. The mod takes Battlefield 1942 into a whole new scenario, the first world war. Next to historically correct equipments and vehicles, we try to recreate the atmosphere of these WW1 battlefields as close as we can, keeping in mind the game we're working with. To achieve this, we've drastically changed the gameplay from the original game like so that you must now rely on teamwork, artillery, trenches and slow vehicles....

A modification that could be made, mainly due to the French faction's uniforms being out of context. If the map is depicting a battle in Cameroon between 1915-16, the soldiers should not be dressed in the uniforms shown on the map.

Firstly, it makes no sense for them to be equipped with Adrian helmets, as this type of protection never reached French troops in the African campaign. Native colonial troops were equipped with kepis, topees or, more usually, a fez.

Second, the 1916 standard-variation of the uniform should not have been available (the horizon-blue one). Most colonial troops wore a hodge-podge of older uniforms, like dark blue Zouave type variants, but also some of the khaki type.

If you guys need some reference photos to help, I can send some!


P.S. Even if it is means another change, perhaps this one won't be so complicated, since almost all of these assets are already present/modded in the game, for other maps and factions.
