Besieged Pack

Besieged Pack

The ‘Besieged’ pack provides new uniform setups for both Indian and British soldiers, inspired by the defenders of Kut. The new items are indicative of a prolonged siege, with equipment taken down to the minimum, as well as empty ammo pouches. The Siege of Kut lasted nearly five months, and the inhabitants of the town began to starve as supplies ran low.

For Indian soldiers, a worn variant of the Punjabi Musulman turban, an open version of the Indian Kurta (tunic), and bare feet are included and reflective of the impact on gear and uniform items caused by harsh conditions.

A unique Pattern 1903 webbing load-out, with many pouches open and empty, is available for the Indian troops. British soldiers receive a bare-bones Pattern 1908 webbing setup, with only the essentials.

New uniform options for British soldiers include a version of the 'Greyback' shirt, worn as a vest with the sleeves cut away. A tatty Pattern 1905 cap and boots with loose socks, all of which have been well-worn during the long months of siege.

New character body variants, 'John' and 'Rahim', are included too. Dirtied and malnourished.

Accessible by all factions, this pack includes two beards, as well as a smashed pair of glasses. A trench-art pipe – with several of the battles featured in ‘Gallipoli’ carved into it, a common product from bored troops.
