Really helps put into perspective the why WWI is referred to as a Meat Grinder. Like you can read the statistics or like individual scenes of like a dozen people getting gunned down, but seeing companies of hundreds just disappear in the face of a single machinegun position and 3 thousand casualties be referred to as a "great victory" is something else

So 10:29. Some advice. Your creeping barrage fucked you. They would not have made it to your trenches if you hadn't used it. Creeping barrages leave dust and smoke in their wake which provides cover for infantry, which helped the Germans take less damage, which allowed them to close and get at your trenches. Creeping barrages are a purely offensive tool. If you want to use light artillery defensively, use the normal barrage. I fucking love the depth of this game. So hyped for it to come out at the end of the month.

looks fun but wow those machine-guns are very powerful. there weren't a lot of those big wave charges you see in movies, especially not in 1917-1918. obviously you can't model every platoon advancing by sections and every little lewis gun laying down suppressing fire, but reaching and taking the trench itself shouldn't be the stumbling block. generally, the problem was the counter-attacks. reinforcements and supplies crossing no man's land would be decimated by artillery, while the defender could move up safely. by 1917 both armies had mastered the trench attack. and so the German brigades tasked with holding the frontlines would be annihilated by shelling, tanks and grenades. then the allies would become spread out, lose their artillery support, and be smashed by fresh enemy troops, and so on and so on. that's the real horror of WW1, IMO. every attack, for years on end, the boots on the ground could smell the breakthrough. they'd take layer after layer of trenches, the germans would be on the run. and then it'd all get bogged down in the mud and the Eingreif divisions would drag them kicking and screaming back to the start line.

Looks interesting. I don't know why though, but this trailer made me kind of want to see a "What if" scenario where the German Blitzkrieg failed in WW2. Reinforcing the Allies believes in the old style of trench warfare. Leading to a scenario where armies shift away from more modern tactics, and revert back into the classic tactics. Like imagining the technology difference. Instead of tanks like the M4, T-34, or the Crusader. We'd get things more like the TOG II, bigger versions of the KV tank series, behemoths like the M6A2E1. Things like the Maus are seen less as a pipe dream, and more of a series contender. Maybe to reinforce the setting, have some alt-history where the aviation industry heavily stagnated after WW1. Like France and Britain never dedicated themselves into aviation research, believing more in the role of airplanes being a reconnaissance tool. Germans were able to achieve great feats with Zeppelin balloons. So after the war, Germany still lost, but the research for planes went away from close air support and fighter planes, and more towards Zeppelin killing tools. Lack of aviation research leads to lack of aircraft carriers. People know of the potential planes can have, but not believing they can be achieved easily. So Ironclad Battleships remain the focus. Torpedoes never being used to great effectiveness in this setting, leads to the Torpedo becoming a really big new tool in this WW2 setting. As countries like America greenlit the Maximum battleship projects, other countries follow suit, and build their own new behemoths, or pursue other ship killing tools. I think a setting like this could be cool. Not just a what if, but exploring how technology would've been done differently. Everything is now more of a meatgrinder. Tanks purpose not being to fight tanks, but to be as effective as possible against Infantry. Maybe even having variants of tanks without cannons, and only machine guns. Ships with ludicrous sizes, and guns that cause entire segments of cities to be destroyed. Planes being test beds for bombing attacks. Chemical warfare never dying, and even a bigger menace.
