The Great War: Western Front brings more customisation to the battlefield

Frontier and developer Petroglyph have announced that another update for The Great War: Western Front has been made available to players, that adds in more mod support tools and a new mission.

The updates for mod support started back in June, but now the support includes a map editor and a UI editor, meaning you can now sculpt your ideal battlefields.

Additionally, Commanders can now view ongoing statistics from throughout their current campaign and reinforce their front lines with two new support trench emplacements – an Anti-Aircraft nest to keep the skies clear of enemy fighters and bombers, and an Ammo Cache which will reduce the supply cost to fire artillery batteries in the vicinity, but is at risk of detonating if destroyed.

The update will also introduce three new Skirmish and Multiplayer maps and a brand-new historical mission, created using the new modding tools. The Battle of Vimy Ridge, considered to be a defining moment for Canadian forces during the war, saw the usage of rolling barrages deployed to provide cover for the advancing troops as they demonstrated unwavering courage to capture a critical point on the Western Font.

There are even more updates and fixes, you can learn more about all the finer details here.
