Rememberance Day Update news

Now then, to business.

We've been very busy once again this month, and seen some great new additions to the team.

Firstly, I was in for a surprise when Daniel "DannyCon" Conroy posted in our recruitment thread over at the WWI Source forums. A stunning modeller, Danny has totally remodelled our current Lewis Gun, we can promise the fully textured item in the next update.

Next up, We now have an exceptional animator, Christopher "Tank" Davis, who's going to be working his magic on all of our new weapons. He's been working on the Gewehr 98 recently, but due to technical faults, we can't share with you the full animation :( We hope to share these animations as soon as the issue is fixed. Until then, here's the WIP reload.

Community Art competition:

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
