Lego WW1 - 2nd Battle of Villers Bretonneux stop motion

On April 25, 1918, during the 2nd Battle of Villers Brentonneux, the first tank vs. tank battle occurred.
A German A7v tank was met by 3 British Mark IV tanks, 2 of which were soon hit and retreated.
The German tank was then shot by the remaining British tank and the crew had to evacuate.
Next, the British tank was met by 2 more German tanks and infantry. But after getting fired upon, the German tanks turned around and withdrew. Later that day the British tank was hit by German artillery and the crew safely retreated to a British
trench.
Thanks to all the people who tried out for the voice acting

the young story teller how is that a joke?

[@pixelknight163]

@@imapotatoandimproud4360 WW1 Started off with no tanks. Heck, "Tanks" wasn't even a word back then. When the British first deployed the tanks. The German soldiers in the trenches probably thought they were tractors. As no such thing like a "tank" existed at the time. That's the joke. That the first ever soldiers to encounter tanks thought the noises were made by tractors or the likes.

[@carlastandage4112]

Actually when they started tanks they gave them a code name called tanks because they looked like water tanks

[@jeffsanders1609]

This is actually a really accurate depiction of the first tank on tank engagement ever! Great job!

[@sidwidle]

Hey dude, fantastic vid. Only thing is, you need to keep your forces on opposite sides. If the Germans are on he right hand side of the screen going left, then that is the only way it should be framed, and if the English are on the left going right, then the same applies. Otherwise it becomes confusing disorientating, which may be good for WW2 tank combat, but in WW1 it was mostly head on contact.

[@zomboss9242]

also the A7V "Memphisto" tank is not shown or labled, the reason i bring it up is that one A7V tank is shown that is rolled over onto its side, and it is the only surviving A7V tank (After the battle when the allied forces gained ground, they recovered it and it was sent to Australia, where it now lies. It is a tank skin in battlefield 1 for the A7V heavy tank and has some other refrences.) Also the A7V needed at least 17 men to operate, but now i'm nitpicking and the "males" and "females" Mark IV tanks look true to the original tank (males had cannons and machine guns and females had machine guns only, there were some mixes) . Otherwise great video! (one can tell i spend too much time on war history)

[@11Survivor]

@@zomboss9242 Yeah, it was pretty accurate considering that in history books, two females withdrew and it was the male that took out the A7V.

At 0:35 this is kinda a mistake I guess. In WW1 tanks had weak tractor engine's that not just make them extremely slow but also made them broke down a lot of times plus I guess it's on muddy terrain in the video. On the first battle with tanks only 30% survived to see war because of the mud that made them stuck and the low number of horse power it had that couldn't get them out.

Truly enough, they were prone to mechanical failures, however by 1918, the MKIVs proved more reliable and effective.

I loved this animation, I find WW1 to be an incredibly exciting war. The technology back then, and style of fighting all though extremely risky, makes for animations like this to be created. Quick question though: Where are the Tanks and mortars from? Are they custom built, or bought? And where do you get your figures? I have never seen these helmets or pieces in any official set, so I’m wondering what website you got them from.
