[Development Thread]WW1 Mod: Blood and Iron

[snafusmith]

I released the units....
No Ottomans and no early US troops and no flamethrowers for anyone except Germany...
will come later, when you are back smitty.

have a look at the Unit Graphics subforum

Thanks for all your hard work! When I get back I'll make sure there's a mod fitting of these great units.

Beautiful work with textures. This mod will be a jewel. Both mechanical models and infantry units are amazing.

BTW i didn't knew that germans used FT-17. Did they captured it? Or this is for possible trading of blueprints?

 

[snafusmith]

The Germans actually used more captured tanks during the war than they did those that they produced - mostly British Mark IV and V tanks, but some FT17s as well.

I'd like to see some battle screenies of those tanks!

Forget that... I just want Smitty to release them... it's the weekend... maybe he'll do it this weekend!?!?

The White Russian texture is perfect! The German one looks cool as well. I don't like the Spanish one as much but I expect that's just my colour preferences. Very nice model though.

Shame, I was looking forward to the WW1 plane reskins you were working on.

I wish you the best of luck, return safely.

How long is a tour? how many do you have to do?

How long is a tour? how many do you have to do?

Depends on many factors... typically, sandbox tours in the USAF could just be 3-6 months, or it could be 9-12... of course, that's what they tell you up front... the military has a nasty habit of telling you how long your tour is before you go, then deciding after you get there to tack-on a few extra months a few days before you're due to come-home.

I believe Smitty mentioned he'd be back sometime this coming winter (a roughly 9-month tour), but don't be surprised if they extend him to a year or more if someone higher-up gets a whim to do so... just one more reason why I retired!

I haven't had a chance to start on the map but I can probably start as soon as I get a little extra free time. Also I've been playing around with Blender and I made a Woodrow Wilson he sort of still looks like FDR but a little more work and he'll be done!

Well you have a LOT of time to work on it since Smitty is gone for the year.
