First officially declaring war in 1917 the involvement of the Kingdom of Greece was very complicated to say the very least, this declaration and joining with the Entente only occurred after the nation went through a schism lasting years and seeing armed confrontation between Royalist Greek troops and Entente troops as well as their Venizelists allies. Eagle eyed viewers may noticed that the model for the Mannlicher-Schönauer 1903 comes from Battlegroup42 and thus credit is to be given to them. Of course with a brand new army should come a brand new map and as such we present to you the Battle of Skra-di-Legen!

 

 

Fought from May 29-31st of 1918 this battle saw the Greek army, along with French and British support, break through the Bulgarian lines and achieve victory in the process demonstrating the combat effectiveness of Greek troops. This battle proved to be a mark of pride for the Greek government and Greek people. Ingame players will expect a push map through difficult and mountainous terrain. Claiming victory here requires effective use of artillery to support the close quarters fighting typical of the trenches. Of course This is not the only new thing to be added and so we should look at a new weapon coming to Battlefield 1918, namely the M1918 Chauchat!

Chambered in 30-06 and featuring a 16 round magazine, the M1918 CSRG Chauchat gained a notorious reputation during the course of the war, so much so in fact that it appears to have even been a factor, though not the only factor, in the negative reputation of the original M1915 Chauchat as well. Still while this weapon saw limited use, the use it did see was during important operations by US Marines during the Spring Offensive. As such it will be seen in the hands of US Marines during the Spring Offensive and will be part of a larger plan to separate the US Marines and US Army as 2 distinct playable armies. Speaking of new weapons now is the perfect time to look at some of the new armor arriving with 3.5, firstly let's look at the Char 2C!

Weighing in at 69 tons the massive Char 2C is a French Super Heavy Tank which began development in 1917 but didn't first see service until 1921 with delays partially being a product of the end of the war. Equipped with a 75mm main gun and multiple 8mm machine guns, including 1 in a rear turret, the Char 2C is an awe inspiring presence on the Battlefield and a great addition for 1919 and secret weapon themed maps and special thanks and credit should go to the Forgotten Hope Secret Weapon Europe Team for this model. It is not the only Super Heavy Tank to be added with the upcoming 3.5 update though, now let's look at the mighty Fiat 2000!

 

 

Weighing in a 44 tons and with 2 prototypes entering service in 1918, this Italian Superheavy Tank known as Fiat 2000 arrived too late to see combat in World War I but did see combat shortly after in 1919 in Libya. While being a superheavy tank it is understandably too slow to practically deal with guerrillas in the desert, it is nevertheless a commanding vehicle on a more static battlefield. Armed with a 65mm main gun in a central turret and no less than 6 machine guns in sponsons, the Fiat 2000 lives up to the reputation and concept of being a mobile fortress. Once again credit and special thanks to the Forgotten Hope Secret Weapon Europe Team for this model! Finally we of the Battlefield 1918 Mod Development Team will leave you with a trailer showing this latest update in action, we hope you all have a wonderful day and we also wish to come back again soon with more news, until then take care!
