During the combat certain positions had little ribbons over them, those are the places where you are supposed to go in order to fulfill your current orders.

This game looks good. I like the story aspect and it pulls you in and makes you care for your men. I added it to my wish list.

Hi, French viewer here and I love your videos. The Jean-Pierre Danner character is from Kolmar (now Colmar) in Alsace. The départements of Alsace (Haut- and Bas-Rhin with the exception of Belfort) and Moselle were taken from France during the 1870-1871 Franco-Prussian war. Because of the Kulturkampf, Alsaciens sometimes defected to the French side and they were later affected to the Russian front. Also the pickelhaube started being made of metal sheets in 1915 due to leather shortage in Germany. The game seems very inspired by All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque.

[@TheHistoryGuy]

Some were made with metal in 1915, but they also made some out of felt or paper.

[@GregMcNeish]

Very cool concept and style to this game. Love the graphics and the presentation style. The turn-based, almost choose-your-own-adventure playstyle is awesome. Really looking forward to this series.

this is a really cool game. wishlisted it. probably will buy it later after I've mostly forgotten the content I view on this channel, and when its out of early access

[@DerTypAusDemREICH]

Many would misunderstand if I said that I think the First World War was worse. By this I am simply referring to the way such wars were fought. This was the time when old tactics slowly merged with new tactics, such as storm attacks that could then turn into close combat, cavalry attacks that were completely ripped apart by the new machine guns, the constant fear in the Trenches of being surprised by a grenade, gas attacks and the introduction of new military equipment and weapons like flamethrowers and the first tanks. When you consider that the French and we once played football (americans call it soccer) against each other on public holidays, even though we ripped each other's asses off both before and after, that's the only humor in it.

[@sirfanatical8763]

I'm gonna salvage that save somehow. Need to finish that campaign.

Glad to see the gaming channel back, are we gonna see any more FM content? I can only assume your save is backed up on steam.

[@TheEmelgee]

You should be able to get a usb to sata/m.2 adapter for the old hard drive/ssd and pull the saves directly from the old drive to the new PC. Although steam saves are notoriously fussy with moving from drive to drive, but hopefully all works.

[@PolarGrizzlyBear]

Do some more new campaign trail!

[@Falkriim]

Neat little game

[@Jacob-rl4ny]

Woah you have a gaming channel cool

[@Letterman0412]

If you were playing your previous games on steam then steam usually defaults to cloud saving all your games. You have to manually turn it off. You might actually still have your saves.

[@drewevans3949]

Hey Chris, I'm new to your gaming channel but I watch your main channel all the time. If you're a fan of the history of the Wild West you could try Red Dead Redemption 2. It's heavily fictionalized but does allow you to run around in an important era of American History. Anyway though love your channel, keep up the good work :)

[@NiceGamingLP]

its helpfull to read the tutorials

[@cornfield755]

What are your sources for stating that German troops were regularly rotated out of the front? While I know this became routine for British and French troops, I have not seen many claims regarding the other side. In fact, quite the opposite - at Verdun, Falkenhayn believed the french (who began to rotate depleted units to the rear) were experiencing greater loses due to the appearance of these new divisions, whichbit was believed were replacing destroyed units. The Germans, in contrast, would be kept at the front for longer, with smaller units rolled into others when fighting effectiveness requited it. True, this is comparing operations during a major battle to day-to-day routine, but still if does suggest a wider difference in mindset. It is also the case that when german divisions needed a rest or re-equip, they would likely be posted to quieter sections, such as around Cambrai. WWI is not my specialism, so any further information or corrections from those in the know is appreciated, particularly regarding my opening question.

[@TheHistoryGuy]

You're not talking about the same thing as I am. You're talking about the rotation of units. I'm talking about the rotation of men. At any given time, the majority of a regiment or division was not on the front lines. Men would be rotated within those units. So while a division might spend months at a time on the front, the men within those divisions did not. German soldiers were rotated off the front line trench every 4 to 6 days.

[@lastpenny849]

A german Z is pronounced like a tz. Very sharp sound. Words like Zug or Zeit are a good example.

[@Crosleyq]

Its only fair you catch up with multiple uploads 😉

[@Mrwolfbex]

That other sergeant didn’t deserve his men going hungry, atleast a little help is needed for Them since there wasn’t Any shipmemts anytime that week it’s the least a proper sergeant would do to a equal

[@Mrwolfbex]

And to add to the sjove statement, it’s only the beginning of 1915 and troops still weren’t actively Aiming to kill eachother and the sergeant wouldn’t know the War is still far from over, we Are 7 months in and the war seems to be over in a month or so, the Christmas trues was just a mere 4 weeks ago from the start of the game

[@Mrwolfbex]

But hey mayby it’s just me digging to much in the emersion of the roleplay

[@healthtrooper]

Interesting game, but it seems a little all over the place right now, curious how it goes on in the next video.

LOL it's a NCO simulator.

[@imdrift170]

Next week we will play call of duty ranked play 😂

[@douglas9521]

Out of interest, I know artillery was the main combat killer by far. But was disease etc still the main killer in ww1 or was that finally eclipsed in that period?

[@TheHistoryGuy]

For US forces it was about 50/50 between disease and combat deaths but that is because we joined so late (so the flu pandemic took a greater percentage of ours). For the other combatants disease was far less a killer than battle deaths.

[@douglas9521]

@@TheHistoryGuy Thanks for that. The most recent thing I'd read was out of combat deaths was far higher, but I'm thinking it was maybe about the Salonika front which was a bit of a Sitzkrieg in a bad environment. So thanks for clarification,much appreciated.
