    If you want even more WWI style content, go for the Attack/Defense game mode. The Defender simulates planning comprehensive defensive lines, using structures such as trenches, bunkers, and barbed wire to choke-off parts of the battlefield and force the enemy to engage you how you want to be engaged, while the Attacker simulates dying en masse to entrenched, fortified positions even with superior technology to your enemy.
    The true essence of World War 1.

      Really? Hmm, I have seen this attitude before, so it should hardly surprise me by now. So let me let you in on a few little facts you are almost certainly not aware of.
      The German Bewegungskrieg Tactics of WWII? Bewegungskrieg by the way is what the German's actually called what is commonly (and erroneously) referred to as 'Blitzkrieg'. Those tactics were very heavily based upon the Stosstruppen Tactics of late 1917 and early 1918, which were in turn based on prior German reliance on Vernichtungsschlacht. The Germans simply added vehicles to tried and true tactics and adjusted them to take into account the extra mobility and increased requirement for communications because of that increased mobility. There was nothing NEW about the Doctrine however.
      In other words German WWII military Doctrine was literally BUILT on German WWI Doctrine, with the changes you would expect of a non mechanised force moving to mechanised and armoured warfare. It was not a case of Bewegungskrieg being revolutionary, more a clear and logical development of what was already THERE.
      Contrary to popular belief most of the Generals tried to avoid their troops dying en masse in attacks. That degrades manpower, and also contrary to popular belief most WWI Generals were not in fact Sociopaths or Psychopathic monsters incapable of empathy. If you actually bothered to look at how tactics evolved and changed over WWI I guarantee you that you would be shocked at how much they did.
      WWI is literally the birth place of Modern Combined Arms Warfare. The Mud and the Blood of the Trenches is where the principles of Combined Arms Warfare in the modern context were developed. It was a form of warfare that literally DID NOT EXIST before 1914, no matter what many claim. Those Generals had to learn those principles the hard way, and then they had to learn how to apply them. None of them succeeded until 1918 when a mixture of technological progress and the refinement of tactics and doctrines had progressed to a point to allow the new method of warfare to be fully unleashed. And it was, but not in the German Spring Offensives, it was unleashed in what British Historians call the 100 days, from July 1918 - November 1918....
      Generally I find those people who go on about lack of tactics or tactical innovation from 1914 - 1918 can write their knowledge of the subject on a postage stamp in crayon. In other words, they are clueless.

      I think you will find that is utter bullshit, in 1940 the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) was the only fully mechanised/motorised army in the world. Period. Even leg infantry had truck transport. And this is not truck transport attached to the infantry, this is truck transport that was organic to the infantry. You do not fully mechanise an army like that if you are only expecting Trench Warfare. The British concept was actually one of rapid counterattacks to force enemy attacks onto the defensive or break their momentum, NOT on Trench Warfare. Did they get all their doctrine right, nope, they did not, but they were better prepared than the French were, and not even the Germans got everything right. Their own Doctrines were to reveal significant and catastrophic weaknesses later in the war.
      You would do well to actually learn something about the Tactical Doctrines of a Nations Army during a particular time period before making stupid comments upon said doctrine from a position of ignorance. The Defensive stance of the BEF in France and Belgium was actually forced upon them by the FRENCH whose plan was to fight a defensive war in Belgium. This was made worse by the French High Commands refusal to use Radio communications, preferring telephones or even runners, and their generally less than forward attempts at communicating to their supposed Allies just what they intended or what they wanted the BEF to do. The end result was that the BEF was essentially left in the lurch by French High Command and more or less left to their own devices beyond what relationships they could build up with the local French Commanders in their immediate AO.

However, I should note Britain did believe the next war would be based around trench warfare with only a handful of commanders fully being able to recognize the importance of tanks and motorization outside of infantry support or logistics.

Same thing with mega artillery but we had so much artillery relative to infantry that tactics just collapsed as everyone except me slowly attritioned to death trying to fight for terrain. Eventually I had the amazing Field Marshall Haig plan to just not spawn anything until everybody else had basically collapsed, then use smoke shells to cover my literally 2000 infantry units charging straight at the enemy.

    Giving a little bit of context about those "Mustad Mantlid" Candy is using. 😀 As you may see in 3:53, his division is "7. Eesti Laskurdiviis" which means "7th Estonian Rifle Corps". During WW2, most Estonians either fought as partisans or joined German forces early in the war. By the 1944 when Soviets came around, an "Estonian division" was put together from forced conscripts, morale was low and armament was (even for Soviet standards) lacking.
    Long story short: "Mustad Mantlid" means "Black Coats" and they were the ill-equipped, non-trained Soviet conscripts from Estonia.

    I find it so hard to visualize ww1 combat without trenches. Was it really like Napoleonic or American civil war battles with better equipment? Like were they expecting to fight in block infantry formations and shit?

      More or less, the thing is proto-WW1 had already happened with the Russo-Japanese War. That war was one of the first "modern" wars where the world got to see and learn what happens when modern armies fight each other.
      But, some military leaders didn't want to learn. If you're a cavalry commander, you don't want to be told that your arm of the military has become obselete and only serves to die on the battlefield. Which is why many division leaders said the lessons of the war were "unrepresentative"

    British soldiers were transported to the front in lindo s famous double decker buses. The bus crews volunteered and would go in. Their buses to the front. Loads died and they began armouring them up. They wouldn’t go right to the front but they still got within range
