    ========= Fields of Verdun LYRICS =========
    As the drum roll started on that day, heard a hundred miles away
    A million shells were fired and the green fields turned to grey
    The bombardment lasted all day long, yet the forts were standing strong
    Heavily defended, now the trap has been sprung and the battle has begun
    Descend into darkness
    303 days below the sun
    Fields of Verdun
    And the battle has begun
    Nowhere to run
    Father and son
    Fall one by one
    Under the gun
    Thy will be done
    And the judgement has begun
    Nowhere to run
    Father and son
    Fall one by one
    Fields of Verdun
    Though a million shells have scarred the land, no one has the upper hand
    From the ground above to trenches, where the soldiers make their stand
    As the trenches slowly turn to mud, and then quickly start to flood
    Death awaits in every corner, as they die in the mud, fill the trenches with blood
    Fields of execution turned to wasteland from the grass
    Thou shalt go no further it was said they shall not pass
    The spirit of resistance and the madness of the war
    So…
    Go ahead!
    Face the led!
    Join the dead!
    Though you die!
    Where you lie!
    Never asking why!
    ========= Historic Fact ==========
    The Battle of Verdun (1916) was the longest single battle of the First World War, lasting for more than 300 days. It represents one of the bloodiest battles of the war with over 700,000 combined casualties.

      @@DudeBro07 no its fals, its a big FAKE by some americans who does not know history and wanted to insult France bc we did not want to join them in the war in the midle east. France did not surrender in WW2 it was an armictice not a capitulation. General Weygand (head of the French army) refused to capitulate, so full powers were voted for Pétain by the governement and his mission was to conclud an armistice with the Germans (a common stop of the fight between 2 countries, and it can include ocupied zones or money for the country that is winning). So if we consider that as a surrender we should therefore consider that the Germans during the 1WW also gave up since there was an armistice between the germans and the allies, and also all the peace treaties in history are also surrenders

    Fun fact: Charles de Gaulle was in Verdun but was captured about a month into the battle and taken as a POW. He tried to escape 5 times to go back to the fighting but was caught each time because of his height. I often wonder what would happen if de Gaulle did escape and the likely possibility that he would succumb to the hellscape that was Verdun, changing the current landscape of not just France, but Europe itself.

What I don't like about Victoria 2 is that it can't really model encirclement tactics very well like Hoi4 (sort of) can. You can very easily have a Battle of Verdun or Stalingrad in Victoria 2.

      @@emie9858 I mean, it's a different time period. I think you might be able to do something with tanks around 1920 but the micromanagement required makes it impractical in multiplayer, and in singleplayer the ai is too stupid for it to matter (they can't make a frontline, can't cycle troops, etc.)
      Also, encircling stacks is entirely possible in vic2, if a stack is defeated and all the surrounding provinces have enemy soldiers present or an ongoing battle the stack is deleted. This is why multiplayer wars require a proper frontline, to avoid encirclement and to allow a safe space for cycling troops in and out so they can reinforce.
      I'd suggest watching some combat guides here on RUclips if you're interested.

      @@sirxamner Much as I hate to say it, you actually hit it pretty dead on. This country is VERY insecure about stupid sh*t, and it vibrantly reflects in our internet culture. It also doesn't help that people here are too lazy to actually research stuff, so the lot of us don't know France has actually won many more battles and had a generally more successful military history than us.
      That being said, I still feel impressed by the fact that we've been around about 1/3 as long as you have, and have won over half your total number of battles in our meager 3 centuries.

      In fact, numbers were misinterpreted, 700 000-800 000 is the toll of casualties, which means counting both dead and wounded and sometimes POWs
      The appropriate tolls are the following :
      ~ 300 000 dead with 163 000 French and 143 000 Germans
      ~ 400 000 wounded with 216 000 French and 196 000 Germans
      Nevertheless, it still doesn't change the horrific height of the numbers

    A German officer recalls: We saw a handful of soldiers, commanded by a Captain, slowly approaching, one at the time. The Captain asked which company we were and then started to cry all of a sudden. Did he suffer of shellshock? Then he said: ...when I saw you approach it reminded me of six days ago, when I walked this same road with approximately hundred men. And now look how few there are left.... We watched as we passed them; they where about twenty. They walked by us as living, plastered statues. Their faces stared at us like shrunken mummies, and their eyes were so immense that you could not see anything but their eyes.
    RIP To All Victims of Verdun, both the ones that were killed and the ones that became mentaly destroyed.
