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.
Description
This file contains the full version of The Great War 1918 v1.1 in a self-extracting archive. It will extract all the files needed to play the modification on your computer. An INSTALLATION GUIDE can be found under tutorials.

The chemical gas mortal doesn't work.
Thx for mod, it's very good, it has good atmosphere!
its very good mod and team is worked hard on it ı understand for it's campaign
I install all and i check all but i cant play mod. I have TGW but only icon and when i launch it is old COH
Make sure you extract the files to the correct directory, or the mod's shortcut will be wrong.
There's an installation tutorial here: Moddb.com
And here you'll find a troubleshooting guide: Tgw1918.dailyforum.net
i have all the files in the right location but its still the base games aswell
If you're using the retail version of the Company of Heroes (not steam) you need to patch it to 2.601 at the least.
what does it mean to patch it to 2.601
It means applying patches to your game until it is version 2.601
See here for a list of patches: Forums.relicnews.com
can i put patches from tales of valor into company of heroes
Yes, it is exactly the same game. ToV only unlocks content; code-wise CoH, OF and ToV are the same game.
Note though that patches need to be installed in the right order for them to work.
will other factions come like england ottoman empire
Other factions will be added.
"England" is already in the mod (British Expeditionary Force). There is no plan to add the Ottoman Empire at this point.
come on somebody can answer this
Thank you guys for the amazing work you've done, I've been waiting for this mod since the first development. One of the best CoH mods...
P.S. Voted for MOTY :)
i keep getting "media not supported" error message
You mean "could not verify media"?
To play you need to insert your CoH installation disk. Otherwise, if you want to play online and keep CoH up to date, install the new steam version.

Hi, sorry to bother, but I seem to have a problem launching the mod: Installation goes fine (even though I think it is weird I had to replace NO files at all during extraction), and all the new files are there, but it still launches vanilla COH:OP, I checked with the linked troubleshooting, and everything seems to match, apart from the properties>target: it said "<CoH directory>\RelicCOH.exe" -mod tgw -nomovies, the '-nomovies' bit isn't in the troubleshooting, but I don't think it's the problem.
That means that the TGW modules are not recognised by the game. There can be 3 reasons for that:
1) your version of CoH has not been patched to 2.601 (at least; later patches also work)
2) the tgw modules have been corrupted during installation (try reinstalling the mod, in which case it should ask you confirmation for overwriting)
3) for some reason the mod files have been installed at a different place than the shortcut. This can happen if you have several CoH installations (like retail + steam + steam relaunch)
Besides the french fries being added as a new faction, I do believe the Americans were in WWI. Any chance they get in the fight?

The update doesnt work. In COH derectory there is version 1.0 and it has worked withought any problems. I downloaded update and installed it in the same directory. Setup was sucessfull (files were changed) but there are still only Germans and BEF. Reinstallation dont help. Are there any ideas how to solve my problem?
That's how it's supposed to be. We only released the German Imperial Army and British Expeditionary Force as factions so far.
Nowhere does it say that 1.1 contains new factions. France still needs quite a lot of development before we can release it.
Can you play the game just fine besides that?
Yes of course) Thanks for answer. Next time I will be more attentive))
can someone upload a YouTube vid on how to install this it would really help
It's not really complicated though.
There's a guide on here too: Moddb.com
Can someone provide me support? I have the Company of Heroes Anthology on disc and is the installation process the same as the retail version?
Yes.
l
No doubt.
Will this change any files required to play the Blitzkrieg mod?
So what I am asking, Is it compatible with the blitzkrieg mod?
Neither Blitzkrieg nor TGW 1918 modify any of the game files. Mods are stored separately from the main game.
So yes, every CoH mod is compatible with each other (except from a few very old ones which are no longer available).
TGW 1918 is even safer as it doesn't modify the dll files.
Thanks for your response.

when are they going to release the french?
ow and can you make a faction skin for the french to make them look Greek?
and this would be the best mod ever.
Do i need to download v1.0 to play this?
No. v1.1 has everything the mod needs.
than again it may need an update
Hello i bought my company of heroes opposing fronts on amazon and i isntalled it in "C:\program files\THQ\company of heroes" then i extracted the mod to the same destination but when i launched it the original game came up please help!!
That's because your game is not patched to 2.601
If you bought a legitimate version, then you will be able to install the new steam relaunch version for free. This will automatically update your game to the latest patch.

Wow great job.I cant wait until you guys add the French and Austrian Nations also would the team perhaps consider a Tutorial for the German and British Nations? So you can learn the basics and the proper use of certain things such as gas and protecting trenches? You don't have to but It would be a nice thing to have.
British troop models only have heads, hands and gear, their body and limbs are invisible...why is this? German faction seems to be fine.
Using steam version.
No idea. You are the only person this has ever happened to, which means it is a problem on your end.
Did you install another mod directly in "..\Company of Heroes Relaunch\CoH" or "..\Company of Heroes Relaunch\WW2" by any chance? Like a skin or model pack?
Did you try updating your graphic card drivers?
What graphic settings are you playing CoH at?

Will it support cheatmod???
Cheat Mod is already installed. You have to use -dev in the shortcut to activate it (at the end of the target in the shortcut properties, it should look like "-mod tgw -dev")
Also, a single question mark is sufficient to turn a phrase into a question. Adding more than one just makes you sound hysterical.
I've downloaded this mod twice now, and it comes up as a white coloured file graphic on the left hand side of the "TGW1918_v1_1" text and I cannot open it with anything? Any idea of what may be happening?
Likely your download is corrupted. Try one of the alternative download links found at the bottom of the news here: Moddb.com
