    This game actually proved why WW1 tactics ceased after that conflict. The western front originally devolved into static lines of trenches with both sides lobbing stationary artillery at each other. In Spiff’s second game, he “establishes” a static line with stationary artillery and the Germans counter attack with mobile artillery, or the self propelled gun known as the Wespe. After being blown off the hill, Spiff comandeers an abandoned Hanomag and proceeds to mobily cut down German infantry in the woods. That is most certainly NOT a WW1 tactic. Kudos for trying Spiff, but this challenge was a fail for you at least as you originally intended.
