That part of Falkenhayn’s vision worked as predicted-at least at first. Falkenhayn correctly assessed that France would fight doggedly for Verdun, an ancient fortress-city, thereby allowing the Germans to operate a meat-grinder that would run until the enemy ran out of men. On the orders of Erich von Falkenhayn, Berlin’s top general, German forces initiated the Verdun offensive not to gain ground, not to break through, but simply to bleed France white. German generals accepted this horrific logic first, realizing that the war was now about attrition, not finesse. Victory would come to the army that endured the brutal struggle the longest. A year into the war, it was evident to any wise observer that the conflict had become a stalemate.
Everything in the game has been tailored to recreate the grim atmosphere so typical of WW1, from the immersive interface and war torn maps to realistic sounds and voices that evoke the feeling of actually being there in the mud covered trenches, peering out over no man's land in search of the enemy.Throughout 1915, efforts by the French and British-especially the former, who had lost so much of their territory to the invader in the opening months of the Great War-to regain ground ended in agony, with offensives petering out against German fire and entrenchments. Uniforms have been recreated to the tiniest detail, the weapons are modeled to exact references and the maps use realistic props and terrain layouts.
