Do you remember the 26th March 2004? On this day the Major Release 1.0 of Battlefield 1918 was released and by using your professional mathe skills you already easily calculated that we're happy to celebrate and gratulate the modification Battlefield1918 to it's 7th year since it's first public release. Horray! Many things have changed since then. Back then Battlefield 1918 was developed by the original devteam of Frontline18 until we from inside1918.net community site adopted the development of Battlefield 1918 a few years ago and we kept it running and running.


But now the Final Release is just a few weeks away. We are proud to announce that our Major Release 3.1 will be released But this will not mark the final end of Battlefield 1918. If version 3.1 would have some serious errors or bugs, which we sadly can't prevent as the past has shown us, we will fix them for sure. There is also a new 1918 Forgotten Honor Tournament Campaign in production and if there are any news about it you will certainly read them here first. Last but not least we are planning the release of a nice mappack after our final version will be out.

But now we have some new content to show you.

A lot of players wanted classical WWI ship battles to be included in Battlefield 1918 so we are very happy to please these voices with a lot of new ships in the new release.

First are the sister ships SMS Scharnhorst and SMS Gneisenau. They will mark the counterpart to the french battleship Suffren which is already included. In BF1918 they are the flagships of the German Kaiserliche Marine. The battleships were modelled and textured by Cabrio from the team of Battlegroup42. It's code was provided by Hui_Bui.

As support for this battleships we have the German Minensucher (minesweeper) 1914 and the LM7 motorboat. The Minensucher 1914 was modelled and textured by Cabrio. The LM 7 was modelled by Krätzer and textured by Klick. The code for both ships was provided by Hui_Bui.

But we didn't only improve our naval arsenal. We also worked on new stuff for the battles on land.

The first new addition is a scope for the German machinegun MG 08. This scopes were produced by the company Leitz Wetzlar. This version of the MG08 will be optional placed on some of our maps. It was modelled by Regulator. The textures were made by cennedy1457 and the code was provided by Hui_Bui.

Coming to a much bigger caliber than the MG08 we would like to introduce the French Schneider Canon de 105 L. This fieldgun was in use by almost every nation on the allied side. It served in the armies of Russia, Italy and France. Its representation in BF1918 was made possible my the modelling work of Regulator and the texture skills of Don Durandal.

Let's stay to the allied side. In detail to the army of Italy. Thanks to the modeller Norman we are able to show you the Lancia IZ armoured car. It was developed back in 1912 and tested in the colonies in North Africa. When the war hit Europe the Lancia IZ was ordered back and was still in use until WWII. Some of this armoured cars were captured by the Central Powers. The textures for both sides were made by Norman and Klick.

Our last object for today is the Treffaswagen. This tank will be included in BF1918 as a "Secret Weapon". In reality the project was developed in competition to the well-known A7V Sturmpanzerwagen of the German army. The Treffaswagen never left the prototype stage and was also the only "big-wheel"-project of the German Empire but development was discontinued in favour of the A7V. It was modelled by Wegvisor and Klick finalized it's texture. The code was again made by Hui_Bui.

As another sidenote we would like to invite you all to participate in the creation of the new version of Battlefield 1918 and join our team as a much needed beta tester.

We hope that you all enjoyed this last news before the release of version 3.1!

Is it again so far? Children children, as the time races, nevertheless. Therefore, we hurry also swiftly to the newest innovations and explosive news shortly before the royalen event of the year. Leave me only briefly my special-made and limited William & Kate wedding cup, provide concerning the contents with the Britens in taste to thin national drink fullly. Ahhh, hot water with milk, a relief for the weak and by nervous breakdowns sieved food tract of the developer. Equally of course also ocular taken up poison for the reader and his expectations which are able to extract no relevant and demanded information with the help of these lines. This guilt lies of course at first with the scribbler himself who demonstrates only his other power in a choke seized towards the consumer with the last sentences and causes equally only annoyance in the wrongfully scolded mass.

In this point the creed popular since the antiquity of the sugar bread and the whip reaches reonce what finds out an active use always from successful national populists and demagogs. Therefore, now without further ado and underhand distractions to the core of the today's proclamation.

After we our selfput and already with roofed elective term for the publication, unfortunately, in time fulfill were not able we would like to compensate you for the not too long continuing waiting period to to one and put off all readers on the other hand of course who expect here an outbreak of the modification from the developing cycle meanwhile existing for 1.5 years with every new news and expect. In the following some of the small titbits which should cover only one small field of the last progress to the version 3.1 illustrated. Suitably at the Easter time we would like to hand over to your personal search for novelties in the play and his fatiguing investigation a weighty role. Joy and curiosity have to do your companions with your first, free steps is.



As the first approach point we offer you this spot quite an insidious trick of developer teams to simulate a big variety and variance of the playable maps in a modification. The headword of the minute is with it "conversion" and might wake up in every friend of the classical battlefields from the house DICE active reminiscent pictures. Now these reproductive treasures may be considered in quite a new light and take pleasure to a cosmetic treatment matchlessly which has to justify itself in the following case amoghektor mainly and after his elimination of our Map creator pica the final processing were passed. Battleaxe1918, according to the title of the Battleaxe Renaissance, shines not only by an imaginative as well as easy to remember new name, but also by a three-dimensional unity spectrum on a relatively restricted space. The aim of the development originated after the easy maxim to transfer old on the new one what looks historically of course at pure paradoxes implies. The only highly imaginative can be informed logically about the historical background and appears concerning this in pleasant continuity to his original.



Now we calibrate from this point all photosensitive plugs of our see nerve on a vertically straightened Tricolor from black, Yellow and Red. The Belgians mobiliseren her troops with version 3.1 and have selected to themselves some scenarios for the marching up. As a proud patriot under belgium flag and father of the germ sprouting efforts all around the German the favourite by march neighbour of the last century Fritz Kempf presents two splendour pieces from his map fund. The freeing of the North-Belgian city of Roeselare from German hands in 1918 offers the presentation for the town scenario rich in detail in which the Belgians try to go forward in the narrow street gulches and winding corners against the German defensive forces. In reality the town since her conquest formed an important base of the German army management for the enterprises all around fronts with Ypern and her meaning was reflected in the massive destruction degree of the town again which had lost about two thirds of her substance at the end of the big war.



After we remain with the Map Ramskapelle in Belgian landing and hit on a rather involuntary, amphibious operation of the German supreme command. During the first Flanders battle de Belgian army by opening of the sluices put the area wide-going under water to stop the advance of the hostile troops. As a result the attackers must wade in this scenario first by a shallow course of a river and approach the defenders with only few cover possibilities. As a central front line the Belgian troops place on a railway line which runs in parallel with the shore and marks at the same time the first flag. In this work Fritz Kempf left also his professional fingerprint and delivers to us a loving with detail and historically exactly investigated Map compilation for his beloved Belgian army.




As the last meal for the small news hunger the troops of the ANZAC create it in european landing and involve the German empire during the third Flanders battle in violent fights with the storm on their very dug positions with Broodseinde. In 1917 the troop groups from the Commonwealth states get successfully to go forward against the German defensive forces and to snatch Belgian ground with human losses high on both sides from the members of the occupying forces. Is marked the Map by blind and treacly current area which offers littered only hard access for the heavy support weapons of the ANZACs with ditches, craters, bunker arrangements and other positions. How it had to go also there found being different this conversion of a battle in the Belgian Kerland by Fritz Kempf her way in the modification. Not unmentioned one our Mapping boss Cicero who led the project to the completion on account of temporal difficulties of the originator may remain here however also again.


wars also from our side and as at the beginning already mentioned this preview serves only as small savouries for the briefly forthcoming publication of the major release 3.1! We möchtne at this point, therefore, please once again for your understanding to be able to present able to ask and working with high pressure, to be able to present the project so fast and completely as possible. The best thanks for calling in and to soon! (Quelle: Inside1918)

BF1918 3.1: Letzte News vor dem Release 11.05.2011

Worth readers! The long announced version 3.1 stands immediately before the delivery! To bridge the remaining waiting period there is again the last news with pictures and this time also to a video!

First we introduce two ships which will extend our marine arsenal: The USS Wickes comes from the supply of Battlegroup42 - it was provided by convertible. In BF1918 she is launched as a middle allierter destroyer. The British submarine "HMS M1" disposes beside the submarine to typical torpedos also of a big Überwasserkanone which will certainly pose one or other problem to the German ship teams. The Vanilla body was extended by take-up motion and from click textured.

Further it goes with the enlargement of our portfolio in static weapons: Ditch signs were used in the trench warfare by all nations, mostly impromptuly, to be able to fire a festival-mounted gun behind a metal plate protected. Desweiteren we can introduce a new bunker: The British Pillbox is one in the ground of built-in smaller concreted bunkers in which one about 360 degrees rotateable Vickers-MG is inserted. In BF1918 this will be also used by the German as a prey weapon. With both objects it concerns work from cennedy1457.

The Gruson L24 driving tank is descended from the production from Krätzer and will be used in the Mod as a defensive weapon of the German army. In the original this carriage with the light caliber of 5.3 cm about own siding track was maneuvered in the fight area.

For the end we still have a small titbit, in the form of a video made by Fritz Kempf in which some novelties of 3.1 are introduced:
