Hello! Aspiring 20th century student here. Some cool facts:The US entered WW1 on April 6th, 1917 on side of the Entente and officially the United States Congress declared War on Germany in April 4th, 1917(sometime in December on Austria-Hungary). Quite a many interesting story of events on both sides, but ultimately sad and tragic. With the results of the few over the cost of the many people. The US’s entry did mean a fresh tab of recruits, but an untouched/non exhausted industry which could aid and finance the Entente’s War effort(The term ‘Allies’ would be popularized by all factions) and estimated loans of $2.25 Billion USDollars to known as Liberty Loans specifically to England and France. Since in 1916 England ran out of money, given all major powers assumed this was going to be a short conflict, and took great risks in hopes to unhinged Germany’s economy. The US only supplied Germany with an estimated $20-$30 million USD by Early 1917. Which of course would hurt US treasury more to not have aided England and France, if not principle, but in hopes of getting paid back their loans. German leadership in the beginning sent a majority of their forces West to take down France to focus on Russia, when in reality the bulk of German forces were pinned in Northern France, as Russia fell into turmoil economically/politically/militarily. German leadership became desperate and were hoping by any means to delay the US entry, even through unrestricted Submarine ware fare. Effective in use of fear, but that outweighed the angry investors of the US. Which lead to the tragedy of the Lusitania in May 1915, which both housed US civilians, but also military equipment(which is still argued by historians to this day strangely). Perspective, of course, to not discredit any intellectuals. Nonetheless Germany did send formal apologies to the Outraged US officials, making empty vows to ceasefire the unrestricted targeting, but claimed the sinking justified due to the weapons. The biggest blunder came from the infamously, famous Zimmerman Telegram in January of 1917, by German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmerman. A last ditch effort to politically keep the US out, or at least buy German Command some more time to make a one last large planned assault across the entire front with the renewed forces from the East. Germany here was a massive power house, having practically financed and had to industrially support their Allies. The arrogance of the Kaiser Wilhelm II led to his own downfall. Having failed to break the British navy(to which Kaiser Wilhelm II attempted to match in might) failed to do. Eventual economic hardships and food shortages ran rampant through Germany, with much mismanagement in the domestic front by 1918. The writing was on the wall for the German Empire. Sorry for the long post, but hope this gave a neat, but quick summary on the War to End all Wars; and was a decent read for you all.
Its so funny. The AI is according to the devs “so well optimized and efficient” the devs essentially told the entire community that they had a skill issue.😂
The problem is Tommy thinking that flanking matters in World War I lmao, He needs to just drop a shitload of artillery on the enemy position until they are weak and then do a frontal charge with sufficient units
This game is ironically a good ww1 game not only for its accuracy but for the fact that it forces rts players to change the way they play much like generals at the time
first, you need to get all 3 research money otherwise you will struggle. and if you start attacking/capturing "Chalon-sur-Marne", Brienne-le-Chateau, and Chatillon-sur-Seine you will be able to encircle the whole east part.
If or when they add modding to this game, someone needs to make a War of the Worlds themed mod. Just imagine shelling steampunk styled Martian tripods as they move towards your trenches.
The opening animations are wholly inaccurate. The US military was one of the first to use trench warfare during its Civil War. Much of how ww1 was fought was pioneered firing said conflict.
Probably cuz the southern-ish accent is used to portray american soldiers (Like Brad Pitt's accent from Inglorious Bastards). He also mimicked the french and german mainstream accent.
hes useless but not boomer...boomers were born from 1946 to 1964....tht would make him minimum 60....tell us you are a millennial without telling us you are a millennial....ffs thick.
