No, sorry Joe, it is only for PC. It seems like most commercial video games are released for PC. There is also very small trend more recently to release some video games only for gaming consoles such as Microsoft's XBOX 360 and Sony's Playstation series. I don't think it would be worth...

I found this interesting WWI Forum from Germany. http://www.milex.de/forum/index.html The only drawback is that it seems you have to scroll through the forum and all the questions chronologically. But it contains a lot of interesting information and some photos.

Chip, thanks for the great information. :D

Stahlhelm, thank you very much for the additional photos of the Beilpicke. Hi Joe, thanks for telling me more about the 117th Division and about the book; I haven't read a formal history of Loos; most of the information I have read about Loos has come from British memoirs where the battle is...

Stahlhelm and Gus, thank you for the great information. Stahlhelm, would you have a photo of the blade of the Beilpicke? It looks similar to an axe, but its purpose was for entrenchment? Now, regarding the uniforms, I am interested in what type of uniform an Imperial German soldier would...

I had some questions about the Machine Gun Crew's uniform during 1914-1915 (through the battle of Loos in September, 1915). In a black and white photo of a WWI German Machine Gun Crew on the back of a cover of a book I own about the Battle of the Marne in 1914, the soldier on the left of the...

Hi ww1 czechlegion: I just started recently to become interested in these Sergeant rank buttons. I tried magnifying the picture and tried reading the black ink descriptions, but I could only make out the names of a couple. Could you please write down the names of the German states for each...

OK, Tony, I am going to try and format some of the questions I have the way you asked: 1) I was wondering if anyone has any information regarding the collar patches, shoulder strap cyphers, and Litzen of the Garde-Grenadier Regiment Nr 5's Field Uniform in 1916 for the following ranks...

With regard to the Bavarian soldier, I tried doing some photo editing, and expanded the photos of the Bavarian soldier to twice and triple the size for the one in which he is standing. However, my photo editing skills are not the greatest, so I hope this helps: Does anyone know what the...

Thanks Tony for the information about the buttons and collars No sir, that is not my real name, it is only a internet moniker. But I can tell you a little bit about myself. I am very interested in WWI history, and I am doing some volunteer research work to make a WWI video game modification...

I haven't had any luck finding any color photos of uniforms or reproduction uniforms. I know the 6th Bavarian Reserve Division, 16th (List) Regiment was Hitler's WWI regiment; I have seen some photos of Hitler in WWI uniform but he is usually wearing a long coat in the ones I have seen...

I assume the Collar Rank Insignia button was worn on the outside of the collar? It looks like the outside; however I have yet seen a WWI photo showing an NCO wearing the button :???: . This website has some good information on the WWI German uniforms...

Can anyone tell me more about the following Imperial German and Bavarian Regiment Collar Insignia (Buttons), Collar Decorations, and Shoulder Strap cyphers??? I need the following ranks: Leutnant, Vizefeldwebel, Sergeant, and Musketier (Soldat or Private). Also, I have not been able to find...
