WWI - French Assault of German Trench system - Nivelle Offensive 1917



The battle played out over two nights. First night, late start as the French\Germans had to do planning before we could truly begin. We played two hours after that and got in all the preliminary bombardment (3 days) and 3 turns. We then finished (or nearly finished) on the second night and got through 5 more turns. This is a long battle report and I hope you make it the end!

The documentary tells of the two Danish brothers and officers, Ernst and Emil Schau, who participate in the Second Schleswig War. The brothers have wives and children in Copenhagen, and through their letters the story of the soldier's life in the ice cold and doomy campaign, that the Danish Army was in during winter 1864, is told. A campaign culminating in the Battle of Dybbøl on 18th April 1864. Here the Danish Army is up against a professional Prussian army, that is numerically and technologically superior to its Danish adversary. The brothers end up in the middle of the worst combat, which have fatal consequences for them and their family.
