Yeah, I really can't see any reason to focus on one year.
Why not just have the whole WW1 period. I know the history buffs might be mad but it would make it more diverse uniform wise. And every involved nationalities will be happy.

Equipment changes almost every year of the war. Having too wide a time frame would make it historically inaccurate because you'd have units/weapons/uniforms that never coexisted on the battlefield at one time. Not to mention the time.

1916 was certainly one of the more interesting years of the war. There was Jutland, the Brusilov Offensive, the Somme (which also saw the first deployment of the tank), Gallipoli and several other battles and sieges. Not to mention the fact that Italy, Romania and Bulgaria entered into the war on that year.

That said, I wouldn't mind if the module was set during mid-to-late 1917; it'd certainly allow room for our American compatriots, as well as the Battle of Passchendaele.

Mhm. This period of time covers some important battles such as Verdun, the Somme, and the Nivelle Offensive. This period is where the stereotypical view of WWI comes from. As well, it allows us to include interesting weapons such as the MG08-15 and perhaps in the future, Viven-Bessière rifle grenades and tanks. There's always room to expand to more time periods in the future.

You do have a good point. Let's hope to a speedy release to the UK expansion and a very thorough beta testing stage to keep problems and quickfixes to a minimum.

Yup. We're quite close to release and UK should follow shortly after.

You just made my day Rigadoon

ik i quoted that and put it up in my unit's steam group for all of my war starved men to read with hope 

Huzzah!

[Wismar]

The US uniforms were pretty similar to the UK ones anyway but no chance
the US gets inside the mod before Austria and Russia.

You can always re-name a unit.

[Duuring]

Behold, the Polish Answer to the American Question. And it's actually not a bad idea.

I vote for a Dutch faction.

[BSM 'Shut up' Williams]

Thanks!

Now for a Dutch faction, too much (Unless someone makes a replacement mod, to replace future factions). But you can always re-name a unit, on the Germans.

I don't know which side the Dutch fought for.



By the way anyone in Southern Britain bracing for the storm?

I am.

[TORN]

I wish to remain neutral.

[BSM 'Shut up' Williams]

Just to walk around, and if one gets shot the guy who shot him will be slayed!!

[TORN]

We should also have camps for all the beglian civillians that took refuge in the netherlands.

[BSM 'Shut up' Williams]

Indeed.
