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.

Only two points, otherwise excellent.
Shovel handles should be green :) GS Shovels had green/OD painted handles. Also, have you considered putting them in Trench Caps rather than P1902 Service Caps? Service caps kind of went the way of Pickelhaubes by 1918, well, they were kept for walking out but in the field most wore Trench Caps, much like the Germans wore their Feldmütze (I believe, the Forage Hat looking piece)
Nice to see Service Caps of course, tis the early war period I usually re-enact, but just thought you might want to go with something more fitting.
It was originally supposed to be a Soft Cap, but due to ease of modelling (and skinning laziness) it ended up as a service cap.
Will fix the shovel. All the ref. pictures I had showed them with unpainted handles.
