The Great War 1918 is a 2013 WWI modification developed by fans of the game for the RTS game Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts with two playable factions in the last year of the war: the British Expeditionary Force and German Imperial Army. According to the developer, Austria-Hungary and the French factions were still to be introduced; however, this is currently on hold. The gameplay was designed on the particularities of the First World War, with trenches, poison gas, and melee. New models and textures were created, including tanks, aircraft, buildings, weapons, and soldiers.
