I like your idea, hope for a soon release.

we have Italy done, but we're wondering if we should make machine guns act as turrets (they don't get carried around by colonists) that require someone to operate them, or if they should operate similar to LMG's in the game. We think it should be turrets but we're not 100% sure on our decision.

Considering the size and weight of most great war machine guns, and the most common usage of them as emplacement weapons, I'd go for turrets.

Alright, thanks for your input. That's (probably) what we're going to end up doing.

Update:

* Italy is entirely done, set aside the machine guns which are on hold.

* Germany is about... halfway done. I'm going to have to think a little harder in order  to get the Flammenwerfer done but I don't expect it to be too much trouble.

* As stated before, machine guns are still on hold.

* I might need a secondary texture artist because the first one is having a tough time getting things done. If you're interested in creating textures for the mod, or if you have any old files you might want to contribute, PM me.

I would like to point out that some sides DID have some rudimentary light machine guns, and automatic rifles, such as the BAR ,Lewis Gun, and Benet-Mercie/Hotchkiss Model 1909, and Chauchat. *It wasn't as terrible a gun as made out to be, and it will work just fine if the magazine is kept clear of mud and dirt, something that was very difficult to do in the trenches, and that the shooter lays in about a 45 degree angle perpendicular to the gun to avoid getting their eye bashed by the recoil.* Maxim Guns were essentially the MMGs and HMGs of WW1 being as that they had to be serviced by a two man, or three man crew, and could only feasibly be hauled due to it weighing up to 140 lbs. whereas by contrast the Lewis Gun weighed about 28 lbs.
