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

Fun fact about the undermining: Several of those charges with an estimated 80 tons of explosives are still around and just kind of sitting under the belgian landscape. One 26000 lbs charge went off after a lightning strike in 1955 and left behind a 40m crater and one thoroughly minced cow

"Funny" thing; there were three mines of that size built. Only one exploded when they pressed the plunger down. Two are lost. Well, *were* lost. In like, the 60s I think, a lightning strike set off one of the two missing mines in a poor, random farmer's field. The only casualty was a cow out in said field.

When I played the demo, I was in exaggerated hysterics over one small detail: I was born in the town of Lagny-Sur-Marne, about 10-15 minutes drive from Torcy, which you can see on the map near Paris. The idea that Torcy has the same overall territorial value as Verdun on the campaign map was just too funny. (For those not in know, today at least the only thing remarkable about Torcy is that has a half decent local shopping center)

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.

I played this, it's definitely going to be fun for one campaign. I'm skeptical about replayability but if there's enough campaign map options to mix things up it'll be possible.

fun fact, flamethrowers aren't banned. they're not longer useful but the geneva convention explicitly allowed them to remain despite calls for them to be banned due to being horrific by the central powers this despite their primary means of killing people being asphyxiation which is banned, incendiary weapons in general are a weird area that is partially banned (no to civilians, go ham and burn your enemy alive though) flamethrowers esp in a man portable package are of extremely limited military value in most types of war though, and the operator is highly visible and tends to die at a much greater rate as it painted a massive target on your back they had a 92% casualty rate, it is cool to use them but the odds of you not laying dead either directly after or before you use your fuel is extremely low

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.

Does anyone else feel like a bad person for counting the minuets until Rimmy gets to use Mustard Gas and commit a new war crime?

As part of the battle of Messines, tunnelling units beneath the German trenches detonated one of the largest non-nuclear explosions of all time.
