The Somme Valley Needs Your Help

February 16th, 2005 08:59 AM

Who Are We?

The Somme Valley is a WW1 modification for Half-Life 2, based primarily around The Battle of the Somme, the infamous 1916 campaign launched by British and French troops, to releive pressure on the seige of Verdun. We strive for a mix between realism and playbility.. for example, you won't spend 1/2 of the game digging a trench or hiding from artillery, but if you get shot in the leg, you're going to have trouble walking.

A WW1 mod isn't just "boring, sitting in trenches, dying when you stand up", the war was based around a lot of small unit tactics, perfected by the French troops, who mind you were the only ones who captured their Day 1 objectives on the first day of the Battle of the Somme.

I too have no skills to offer but hope for great things from this MOD.

I do have a lot of great war source material, including a lot from the time period.

I also have some artifacts, helmets, bayonets and weapons etc if you need any pictures or source data.

Good luck anyway
