About Flanders Fields
In 1914, the world was tossed into turmoil when Archduke Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated by a Serbian radical, bringing Europe, and the world, into a 4 year, 8.5 Million Lives Lost struggle, which we call The First World War. In every war, there are a few battles which stand above the rest, for whatever reason.
In Flanders Fields looks at battles throughout the war on the Western Front. From the mining town of Loos in 1915, to the bloodbath of Passchendaele, In Flanders Fields aims to capture the reality of war in the trenches, while giving a good, solid and atmospheric gaming experience to hardcore wargamers and casual players alike.
About The Name Of The Mod
No, you won't see Homer with an Enfield in his hand. In Flanders, Belgium, in 1915, there was a Canadian medical officer by the name of John McCrae who etched a short poem in his handbook. In December of 1915, that poem was published, and became world renown.
For more information on John McCrae in a Histor!ca Minute (a series of commercials about Canadian History on Canadian television stations), click here. To read the chilling poem, visit this site.

I had the chance to sit down with Stuart Konen of LCWebmonks.com to hammer out some information about Flanders Fields in a rather lengthy interview. Here's a snippit:
John "Chief" Phillips: The most common player class will be the Infantryman. He carries a rifle, bayonet, as well as two grenades. There's nothing particularly special about the Infantryman, he's simply out there to achieve the objective

Between the crosses row on row...
lol I liked Somme Valley more but I think the new name really drives a depressing and realistic atmosphere.
I suppose I should put whats behind the name of the mod, lol... it's more widely known in Canada and to WW1 fans/historians, I'll update the About The Mod section, and pop 'er in the FAQ.
But maybe we'll have a decapitated Ned for you Simpsons fans somewhere ;)
