rp_somme - WW1 trenches + reserve/civilian areas

A ww1 roleplay/PVP battle map set during the battle of the Somme.

Recommended with my artillery pack for RP: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3387015015

Features:
- Build-able/usable light railway to bring troops and supplies to the front (Hit the tracks until they break, or use TNT if you want to do it quickly).
- Training/Civilian area
- Custom soundscapes (including singing)
- On map Airfields (this map is wide and can support planes properly)
- Underground dig-gable mines (leading to listening posts - this will only work in RP servers with proximity voice chat).
- Use-able periscopes
- Use-able flare guns
- Up/down system trenches (to alleviate congestion)
- Historically accurate trench design (Front line, support, reserve).
- Artillery spots for Gredwitch's emplacement pack
- Some semi-useable pre-built artillery (shakes the ground at the front and plays custom sounds).
- Admin Box (behind you in the spawn room)
- Working barbed wire (some sections are destructible, use Gredwitch Artillery to break through).
- Barbed wire that you can drop into the connection trenches (useful when falling back), press e to use.
- Some briefing areas (including a french and American area, added at the request of the Boondocks RP server).
- Buildable concrete bunkers (two German one British), hit the small wooden boxes

Bugs:

This is a beta version, expect some bugs (especially some glitches in the terrain). I have been busy IRL and only made this in a week or so. I will do a detail pass at some point in the future and remake the town and add to the trenches. Please let me know if you experience any serious issues. I will be updating soon with some more polish and extra songs.

Also, the map definitely gives the Germans a defensive advantage. The British must work hard to destroy German wire and suppress/smoke enemy bunker positions. If teams are unbalanced more people should join the entente also.
