The Battle of the Somme symbolised the horrors of warfare in world war one. Follow orders, fight for your country, survive in rain soaked trenches and wait for the call; the call to chargeover no man's land to fight for freedom and liberation. Equipped with your arsenal of weaponry, make haste and overtake your enemies; watch over your brothers and god speed. As a soldier in The Somme you are challenged to overtake your enemy's forces. Team work dependency is key without it you will fall to feet of your foes. Listen out for orders from your commanding officer. Which role are you? You decide; from the Medic class and being able to haul wounded allies onto your shoulders to bandage them up in your trench to being an Officer, taking bird's eye view control to spot targets and mark them on your map to create devastation to your enemies forces with Artillery barrage.
Today we present you with two new items of media. We have the Lee Enfield, the main priority in weaponry for the Entente, incredibly accurate and incredibly lightweight. If you choose the infantry career in game, you will be subjected to being able to pick off your foes with precision, bolt and repeat. An infantry marksman from WWI could take down an enemy with every bullet used in their clip, are you up to the challenge?

Next for you, is a piece of concept art, which tries to depict the gruesome nature of Passchendaele, living and fighting in mud up to your chest, soldiers had to battle each other in vast swamps in order to take control of enemy trenches. We hope you enjoy this selection of art work and do hope you use it for your desktop!

awesome work...as an avid gun collector and modder myself you guys are doing a fine job. let me just point out though that i dont know if the image was flipped or not but the bolt handle and the whole action appears to be on the wrong side... Keep it up guys. (yes i'm aware i'm probs gunna get voted down for this but hey ho)
No need to down vote you. You're absolutely correct! The image was flipped so that it would match the rest of the images. We wanted the bolt to be on display. Sorry for the confusion!
no worries if you ever need any textures doing or ref images, sounds or just someone to act as a researcher let me know. if i don't own it i've probs fired it.
Wow. You guys have some awesome artists.
Thank you!
