With boer wars you mean boxer wars I think?
Also in those wars sabres weren't used? Thats quite depressing.
So all in all there weren't used Swords, Sabres or something else in the whole WW1 (except of the cavalry)?
And one last question (
): How did the officers defended theirselves if it came hand to hand? I don't know much about swagger sticks but I don't think they do hurt that much compared to sharpened steel.

No, he does means boer wars, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Boer_War
Sabres were used in all those wars, they had a limited use but they could be an effective weapon when the hand to hand came.
Sabres were used in the first world war although in a very less range than in the previous wars, even Bernard Montgomery charged with a sword during the one hundred days spring in 1918.
You make a good point here, good sir, I don't think you are able to kill someone with a swagger stick in melee, while steel can.

A revolver, especially the Webley .455 the British officers were issued with, which was often converted into a carbine with bayonet and stock, made a very convenient melee weapon. The C96 had a similar conversion.

That thing would be utterly useless in hand-to-hand combat. If you came up against someone with a bayoneted rifle or a club or entrenching tool, you'd be as good as dead.
Obviously a rod would be useful in trench clearing, but the bayonet attached wouldn't be.

Swagger sticks, pistols with bayonets (lol), that's ridiculous.
Officers need sabres, soon or late melee will come and then you will need sharpened steel to defend yourself

That's awesome! I am saving up money for something similar to use hunting (but it doesn't have a bayonet damn it!):Grant4455 said:A revolver, especially the Webley .455 the British officers were issued with, which was often converted into a carbine with bayonet and stock, made a very convenient melee weapon.

Just as the great Jack Churchill said :
"any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly armed."

Update #15 German Uniforms
This update shows the variety of German uniforms that I have been working on. In a preview some time ago I showed the standard M1915 Bluse. Added to the mix are early war tunics which, while outdated, were still used in large amounts throughout the war, and a greatcoat.
M1915 Bluse
M1910 Waffenrock Simplified
M1910 Waffenrock
M1915 Mantel
There are some minor issues, such as cuff length or the greatcoat's collar color, that have yet to be fixed. Originally, rigged in-game screenshots were supposed to be part of this update but there are a couple things that Joseph is currently fixing. We'll be showing the in-game shots sometime over the weekend if all goes to plan.
I've heard a lot of concerns over how long the mod is taking. Honestly, there's nothing we can do about it. We're working as fast as we can and like I often say, we're not being paid so the time we can devote to the mod is limited. Work is still going strong, we're far from dead. I'm working on gear for the uniforms, Betaknight is working on boots, Hudson on hats, Joseph on rigging, other team members on various things. Just be patient and allow us to do the best we can to bring you a mod worthy of the long wait.
