What about WW1?, it's Facinating!! Options

[Sgt York]

Just a thought guys but what about a WW! map? Each side has trenches, each side has fixed MG positions, both has bolt action rifles. In the middle is blown trees with stumps, logs, destroyed wagons, dead horses, trash from war, shell holes from the 405mm Big Berthas. Heck, it could be a map of Verdun, 1916. What a mess that was! The fort smashed with the French still fighting, holding on for the life of their country as Fritz attacks repetedly. The constant artillery bombardments from both sides.
I think it would be a great map man. Try to reach the others trenches (and bunkers) from the shell holes in no-mans-land? What do you guys think?

I read WW1 (research) presently. I researched the American Civil War for over 12 years, mainly the common soldier, not the big battles. It took me 7 (SEVEN) years to find out what people use in the 1860 for toilet paper.....you'll NEVER guess..!!!! They used TOILET paper...LMAOOO!!! Only it was called "Sanitary Napkins".

WW1 is facinating to me because it was the begining of the new world. Old world methonds were used against new world weapons. Like the Battle of Verdun...which lasted for 10 months!!! Even today they are still finding equipment , weapons, grenades, etc EVERYwhere in that area. The Forts, Douaumont and Voux, the Mort Homme...all fixed positions but in open ground.

It would be nothing but bolt action rifles with fixed MG positions, grenades, gas, incomming artillery that discriminates against NO ONE! Trenches, pieces of houses, carts, wagons, trees, boulders. The open ground kind of conflict.

OK...OK!! NOW you can tell me to shut up and sit down....hehehehe!!

BUT FIRST....go here and see for yourself.....
