Including stunning new visuals that include entirely new models and textures for equipment, vehicles and more, the mod immerses you into the era with brand new gameplay unlike anything you've experienced in Total War before.

Description
Famously said during the Battle of Verdun in 1916. This concept art/poster is a bit of a treat for all you who just can't resist the French World War I spirit of warfare.
"It does not"
What was the context of this quote because on it's own it seems kinda weird.
"On ne passe pas" can mean "it does not pass". However in the context of the quote it becomes something more akin to "they [the Germans] shall not pass".
it means do not pass, or you will not pass. passe is a form of the word passer meaning to pass, on is is a pluralized word that translates to you or they. ne pas means does not/ will not/ shall not.
i smell a Tolkien referance
I didn't think of it when I drew it, but it's right, the Frenchman IS poised the same way Gandalf is. :D
Nah it's about the Battle of Verdun where Petain say "Il ne passeront pas"
"On ne passe pas!" => Ligne Maginot.
"Verdun! On ne passe pas!" is a french military song after the battle of verdun.
You guys have done an amazing job I cant wait to play this mos Iv been waiting for a good ww1 mod.
truly great artwork except the head is a bit... wrongly scaled. I hope your artist will fix it because it kinda kills the awesome scenery.
hi guys im making a ww2 mod for shogun 2 with a new map and i know how hard it was to get here for you guys i wish you luck and ill try this out whenever i can.
Love the ww1 era french, uniforms are just so awesome especially their Adrian helmets. :)
This looks good but what the **** is wrong with his face? Its a bit to low but other than that its very good.
Yeah I know I messed up on the face-head part but a lot of it is due to the fact that he is wearing a scarf around his neck, added on top of which the folds of his uniform seem to raise his shoulder level above that which it really is. :P
The second before this gallant lad gets a shell into his face,
ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY STAND ON THE BATTLEFIELD IN WWI!!!
High up his face so His eyes are slightly covered and it wont look so disproportional.

it means they shall not pass,it was said in the battle of verdun
The closest literal translation would be "we don't pass" in the same way you may tell a child "we don't do that" where "we" is not used to denote "you and I" but is used as a generalization to indicate that the act is forbidden.
Basically it means "nobody passes through" or simply "no passing".
