These two German’s were then attacked by a Frenchie, in which a rather comic game of cat and mouse began. I observed two German fellows building a little bunker on the outskirts of the village. Hilariously enough, I switched to spectator mode to oversee the battle. Hindenburg shot one Frenchie with his Mauser, before bleeding out on the floor. Hindenburg is not a patient man, as you know (or maybe he was, I don’t actually know if that’s accurate) so instead of loitering around he and another fellow decided to charge into the village. We flanked round the village where the main fighting was happening, and set up the machine guns to suppress the dirty French (I get a little crazy when I become a WW1 era general). It was rather comic as many of players, noticing my status, decided to follow me because I had a fancy sword. When choosing my “class”, I decided to take the empty general slot, turning me into the famous leader – and later President of Germany – Hindenburg. Because I feel like I’m just going to be kissing the modders’ feet, I will share with you a little adventure, with General von Hindenburg himself.Īh the mighty German army, how spiffing they looked in their iconic lipped helmets. It’s always fascinating when in mid-battle a couple of guys conversing about events that happened in WW1. One thing is really like about M&B (and more specifically this mod) is that many of the people in the community are history nuts, which is a very good thing. Getting killed isn’t a bad thing in this game because there is no XP or weapon unlocks, you just choose your unit and go gallivanting towards death. I get really excited when I play a game like this and partake in a charge of 75 guys, and going straight towards a flurry of bullets made it even better. I choose a 200 capacity server – because why wouldn’t you – that was 3/4 full. Thankfully there were plenty of servers for this mod and to be honest, I was spoilt for choice. It now looks like Iron Europe is going to take that seat now.Ī small download and easy-to-use installation process made it easy to get going. I already loved M&B and the Napoleonic Wars expansion is one of my favourite multiplayer shooters – because I love muskets. Well, some charitable modders decided to create their own mod for Mount and Blade Warband. But I’ve always thought that a WW1 game could be interesting, especially with large numbers. Finally a WW1 themed game(mod)! People always look at me weirdly when I say I would like a WW1 game, saying that it was boring and blahdy blahdy blah.
