Help is always welcome, this certainly will come to help once I start on it!

A U.S. Manual on trench warfare. Of particular relevance are the sections on trench construction and wiring. Diagrams towards the end of the bood show examples of different trench traces, wiring diagrams, and strong-point traces. It does mention a SOS signal rocket of a varying sequence of three colours, which would be an interesting additions. Rather amusingly it also includes games for the soldiers to play.

Video shows folding sponsons and partial interior of the British Mark IV tank.

A couple good images showing the layout of the German Sturmpanzerwagen A7v

Excellent Series of photos showing the St. Chamond Tank

Best I could do for crew layout. Two Period photographs.

Just a few things I found through some quick searching. Should come in handy in the future. I assume you have sources for the uniforms and weapons in hand already?

Tracked down some manuals pertaining to the 1897 75mm Field gun and artillery in general. Mostly stuff that's hardly any use for our purposes, but worth sifting through for what there is when the time comes.

Hey yall!
Sorry for the scarce amount of updates lately! Since my vacation is over I have less time on top is that Brent and I work different shifts so when I am up ready to work on the mod he is either sleeping or at work and likewise the other way around.
So that cuts into our time we are still a 2 man team after all. A friend of mine DoMaru has made a web gear rig for the French uniform and might be making one for the German uniform too.
I still have to finish the German uniform also have to re-topo the web gear DoMaru has made.
Brent has put most of our stuff in the game and is working on the Bolt action system and animations for the bolt action rifles also Brent is working on the RV mats to have everything looking dope in the game. 
We also have developed our own workflow from Substance painter to Arma 3 which I might write an in-depth tutorial for if any modders are interested in that.
And at last Brent has off this weekend and so do I, have no time today to work on the mod but I have planned the whole Sunday so we can actually start putting some thrust on it again.
I got to be honest, I started to get bored sometimes and just wandered off to play a game if we were stuck at something again so not all the "lack of time" BullSh**te was the main problem.
Hope to give you guys some screens of new stuff or a video on the bolt action this weekend, please don't get your hopes too high because if we ain't make it you will be mad and confused :P

Piece out!

Just wanted to say I'm really looking forward to this mod! I'm a huge WWI fan (wow that sounds morbid), and the ability to recreate some of these battles in Arma would be fantastic. Keep up the awesome work!

Why did the comments just suddenly stopped? Did everyone lose interest in this? (I'm not inquiring for updates. Just wondering why there's no one commenting anymore is all.)

UPDATE IMPORTANT:

This mod is officially dead Reason I am still putting a comment here is that all the source files are downloadable on mod DB for anyone to use.

MOD DB has to approve the article. I expect this to be soon
