I was at the Duxford airshow yesterday and they have a "Land Warfare" hall with a load of WW1 era equipment. If any of your team live in the UK then a trip down for some references would be a good idea.

Iron Europe: 1914-1916
- Thread starter CrazyThumbs
- Start date
Thanks for the tip Sam, that could be really helpful. Good references for a lot of stuff are pretty hard to come by for that era.
Oh, and guys, have fun dual wielding static mg's.

No problem for a stat-hardened Hero.

Perhaps, but aiming will be a tad difficult, since there are two seperate pivot points.
ah, who am I kidding? Heros don't have to aim their weapons. They can just hip it and hit people 100m away. Just like Nicholas Cage in wind talkers.

Liking the sound of this! I was panicking through most of the thread because you didn't announce your Lee Enfied model until quite a bit later than the Gewehr. XD

We skipped our normal schedule in order to have our next media release today, Veterans Day. IE Team Member Javex wrote a nice piece to get it started.
"Hello everyone,
As you may or may not know, today marks the 91st Anniversary of the Armistice in Europe, bringing about an end to The First World War.
Since that day, people around the world continue to mark November 11th as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices of the young men and women who went overseas to preserve freedom for their people. And those that still uphold those values today, and are overseas as we speak, fighting for you. Putting their lives on the line.
Let us not forget the sacrifices of these brave men and women. Please, if you know anyone who is currently serving, or has served in the armed forces overseas, honour them. Use this one day to show them how much you appreciate the privileges and freedoms you have today, that they defend.
Lest We Forget... "
-Javex
Work continues as normal for IE. October and November have been good to us so far. We have two new members to introduce, Miro! as he's known around here, is our new texture artist, and our other new member is WillB, who's work you can see a bit below.
First up we have a new character model to show you guys,
As you can see, this will be our German MG crewman for our 1915 maps.
We try to take as much care as possible when it comes to uniforms. They're much more complicated then they first appear, especially the German ones, Different tunics for Prussia and Bavaria, different cuffs and button arrangements.
There's also the fact that uniforms changed some much after the first year of the war, and continued changing in some cases.
So getting the uniforms correct is a long process, we've got tons of information to process, organize, and then give to the modelers and texture artists.
But we're trying to make IE as accurate as possible. So if you notice anything inaccurate, tell us.
We also have a very nice static mesh to show off,
This is the British 18 Pounder. I have to say that it won't be a usable, but it's still nice to look at. You'll see one or two of these lying around in some of our early war maps.
That's all for us now, stay tuned for the next update, and by the way, we're still looking for members so if you want to help out feel free to drop off an application.

WW1 was not a war about freedom i think, it was a war that if anything did more damage than it did good, especially considering all those lives lost, countries wrecked and lasting damage in other areas.
In the end i think this means we should and must remember WW1 so that we wont hopefully do the same again.

Well WWI meant the end to the monarchies especially in Germany and in Russia, lots of nations got their Independence (Czechoslovakia, Finland, Turkey, etc)
In my opinion it is hard to say that a war changed things to the better or not or brought freedom but I know people in North America think a bit different about these things so I let them have their opinion. And you shouldn't forget Javex makes awesome sounds so is allowed to claim anything and I mean ANYTHING
And as always any help on the mod is appreciate (even more if you are an animator or coder)

it certainly had a negative impact on the middle east. In the balkans it merely added to the already existing damage done by the various powers there.

well what would you expect of a region that has been occupied by various powers for nearly 2000 years?
