The Great War 1918
The Great War is a modification for Company of Heroes meant to bring the war a decade or so earlier. This mod focuses on the later years of the First World War. Currently the two teams will be the British Empire against the German Empire, however with the 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 instill fear into the enemy troops.

Today we bring you a small update to inform you on the development status of The Great War - 1918. For a long while now we have been working on implementing a satisfying trench system. Fortunately it is now done thanks to Jannev, a coder of the CoH modding community.
The trenches are built fence-style, like barbed wire and sandbag walls, and without limit to their length. Infantry can walk along them while receiving trench cover, and tanks can drive over them. This all contributes to a more dynamic and realistic gameplay.
The downside is that trenches take time to dig (ever tried digging a deep hole with a shovel?). Passive players may very well end up facing an impenetrable defensive net if they leave their opponents dig it though.
Rifles also received a visual upgrade with the attachment of bayonets. Those have been modelled and skinned by Cireva, and I'm sure we can all appreciate the addition.
Alas until we can find someone to make the animation, soldiers can't wield bayonets in melee. Instead we had to resort to equipping them with wonders of technological progress: spiked clubs.
The alpha phase of the mod has ended and it is now entering closed beta. Development will be limited to setting sounds, bug fixes and balancing as the mod is being tested. Some work has also started beyond first release and its two starting factions. We should be able to announce a release date shortly.
The team also thanks all those who voted for us on the MOTY award. Getting to the top 100 was a nice surprise.

I'd just like to commend you gents on your fantastic work. This is easily one of the most detailed, well modeled modifications you can find on this site. Easily my most looked forward to mod, as after my reading of Over the Top, I've become really fascinated with the WW1 era, which seems to really be fading into history as the years go by. Keep up the good work guys, everything looks top notch and I'll be here on release day!
