The Great War is a modification for Company of Heroes meant to bring the war two decades earlier. This mod focuses on the later years of the First World War. Currently the two teams will be the British Expeditionary Force against the German Empire, however with time the team will try and bring some more nations in, such as France and Austria-Hungary. This mod will focus or realism but keep the game balanced enough to make it enjoyable. Things to look for in the mod are the famous artillery strikes and the infamous gas attacks. Trenches will provide vital cover for infantry while tanks will roll over the battlefield and instil fear into the enemy troops.

Really top-notch work here guys, personally, for accuracy would put 8 men in the Section, also, do you plan on doing anything with bayonets?
Hint !!!

From i heard it's impossible to animate melee attacks.. or am i wrong?
Very nice.
i just wanted to know - is that square bag in front of the soldier designed to hold a gas mask?
Yes. It's the Small Box Respirator (SBR) as issues end of 1916 to all units in the B.E.F. (including non-British, like troops from the Dominions and the Portuguese). The US also used that model.
It's depicted in the correct way of carrying it, with the opening towards the soldier's torso.
what weapon is the in the middle useing
Lewis Gun
are you guys adding the canadians as a part of the british? because they played a huge role in battles like vimy ridge the somme and passchendale :D and they were used as shock troopers by the end of the war (hint for a unit type) exelent work guys keep it up
We're trying to move away from nation-specific references. We view the B.E.F. as a whole including all nations that had contingents in it, be they British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealander, Newfoundlander, South African, Indian or Portuguese. To avoid alienating anyone we had to keep the faction as generic as possible.
very good idea :D you guy are really fair and im def giving a thumbs up to this
First and foremsot let me congratulate you guys for the great modelling and skining job. It feels realistic.
Was wodnering will british infantry have some sort of ability like the infamous "mad minute" of SMLE fire?
cheerio!
Infantry sections gain the "Mad Minute" ability automatically once they reach veterancy level 3.
When you say "infantry sections" do you mean both Germans and BEF will get the "mad minute" ability or just BEF? Thanks in advance.
“Infantry section” is the name of the basic BEF squad. Their German equivalent is the Landser Group.
The mad minute ability is specific to the BEF’s infantry section; it isn’t available to any other squad type.
Also how will the lewis gunner work with the "mad minute"? Will he unleash a full mag within a minute or just work as normal? Again thanks in advance.
No US? beggers can't be choosers and I love your approach to making this game. But I wouldnt mind seeing some US Marines take the field!
just sayin...
look like no US and Panzer.
