The mod's first release is now on Steam Workshop! Maps will soon follow (likely tonight or during this week.)

Notes on developing Maps for Aufmarsch:
The information regarding how to install HOTW for making maps applies to Aufmarsch as well.
You will need to follow it and add in the package names that Aufmarsch uses instead of the ones in HOTW.
Important!
-Use only AMRoleInfo classes.
-Use only AMTurrets for HMGs instead of RO2 or RS Turrets. One day these may get improved models.
-Don't use AMRoleInfoGerFlamethrower_WF on the Eastern Front maps (unknown issues may arise.)
-Don't use Rocket Artillery or any Vehicles.
-We suggest and encourage Mortars and standard Artillery to recharge quickly and be available in surplus, but this is not necessary.
After that, for each map you will need to create .INI files for it to work in RO2 (not just the SDK.) This is a similar process to HOTW.
Please prefix your maps AMW for West, or AME for East.
This is an example of what you will need in your .ini File:
WestFront INI
East Front INI

What's with the name?
Aufmarsch refers to the German Army deployment plans for the East and West fronts prior to the declaration of war with France and Russia. The 'Schlieffen plan' was developed by Field Marshall Alfred von Schlieffen, and they were put into use in the opening days of the war in mobilizing and moving troops to the appropriate fronts.

Information about the mod:
Spoiler!
This mod will bring the First World War to RO2! Our plans are to release this gamemode with a few weapons and uniforms across a couple maps.
The first version of Aufmarsch will be quite light as we are looking to see how the community reacts to it before developing further content.
This will be a "gamemode" mod similar to Heroes of the West; it should be able to be ran on 'Custom Maps' servers where players can vote to hop into WW1 for a match, and then head back to RO2/RS afterwards.
There will be two fronts on initial launch:
-Eastern Front 1915 Germany vs. Russia
-Western Front 1918 Germany vs. USA
Gameplay will be normal in functionality, but I will be working with the IOM team to easily make it compatible.
These roles will be available as such at launch:

-Squad Leader - Bolt Action Rifle, Bayonet, Pistol, Binoculars
-Commander - Pistol, Binoculars (to be added: Officer Swords, additional Pistol options.)
-Ger Flamethrower [West Only] - Flamethrower
-US Automatic Rifleman [West Only] - M1918 BAR
-US Trench Gunner [West Only] - M12 Shotgun, Pistol, Shovel, 4x Grenade
Heavy Machine Guns and Artillery Call-Ins will play an important part in the maps, as will trench warfare where appropriate.
