Somewhere on the Western Front...

Somewhere on the Western Front, a British offensive has been planned to take back area lost to the Germans. Are you ready to go over the top? The first entry into my "Somewhere in..." series, where I attempt to use the new modding system in ER2 to create missions beyond the scope of WW2!


PREPARE TO GO OVER THE TOP

A WW1 themed mission involving Mark V Landships, trenches, and machine guns. Storm the trenches as the British, or defend your ground as the Germans! This mission is meant to be played as the British, however you can play as the Germans. If you enjoy this map or have any feedback, please let me know in the comments. If you would like to see more WW1 themed missions, let me know :)


CUSTOM, HISTORICALLY BASED SQUAD COMPOSITIONS

This mission utilizes custom squads I have created.
For the British, there are:

British Rifle Section: A 10 man team including an NCO, riflemen, a section LMG, and medic. The backbone of the British army, and make up the bulk of the units on the field.

British Flamethrower Team: A terrifying 4 man flame thrower team, with a team leader, rifleman, assistant flamethrower and flamethrower. Amazing at clearing out enemy trenches and bunker positions, if you can get close enough!

British Marksman Team: A 2 man team of marksmen, armed with scoped rifles for taking out high priority targets from long range.

British Trench Raiders: A 6 man team of elite trench raiders. Armed with pistols, rifles, shotguns, explosives and smoke bombs, this unit can quickly and efficiently advance on enemy positions before destroying them in CQB.

Australian Engineer Section: A 8 man section consisting of a NCO, sapper riflemen with explosives for destroying barbed wire and fortifications, and a section LMG. Not as large as a British Rifle Section, however comes with more explosives.

British Company HQ: A section consisting of the Company CO, radio and company staff. Not the strongest, however have the only radio on the battlefield for calling artillery strikes! Make sure you salute :)

For the Germans, there are:

German Rifle Squad: A 11 man team consisting of an NCO, riflemen, and medic. The bulk of the German forces, providing much needed man power to help defend the trenches.

German Sturmtruppen Team: A terrifying battle hardened squad of storm troopers. Utilizing pistols, sub-machine guns and grenades, these troops can quickly take back positions taken by the enemy. Be careful of their quick firing SMGs!

German AT Team: A 4 man team armed with an AT rifle for taking out enemy tanks.

German Marksman Team: A 2 man marksman team armed with scoped rifles for taking out important targets at long range.

German Company HQ: Consists of the Company CO, radio and company staff. Although not very powerful, it has the only radio on the battlefield for coordinating artillery and mortars.
