In 1914, after an unexpected resistance, the belgian forces decided to flud their plains, destroying the dykes of the river Yser. This made 7 german armies to retreat and stabilised the front until 1916.

Map shows trench war: the front has moved several times between 1914 and 1918, the german cemetery of Gheluvelt (belgium) is now between the german and english lines, in the no man's land.

If you achieve this, the TGW community will build you a shrine. Good luck!

If you need map reference for sectors occupied by the French army, I can get them by looking through the combat diaries of units stationed there.
For instance here’s a scan of a map of the frontline at Fleury in the Verdun sector, dated 01/10/1916, found in the diaries of the 407th infantry regiment: http://i43.tinypic.com/23rmsll.jpg
<Friendly trenches (French in this case) are in red, enemy trenches (German in this case) are in blue>

For British sectors you can check the WW1 map database on the McMaster University’s website: http://library.mcmaster.ca/maps/ww1/ndx5to40.htm

Yes, but to destroy it in a massive Artillery Barrage would be the highlight of my short life

Huzzah another NTW map pack. You should ask the guys over at Napoleonic Total War III if they would allow you to use their maps, as thy have dozens.

So is having an orgasm at tank screenshots, but people still post about it

[mAIOR]

Well, I assume by organism you meant orgasm and yes, it is... At least it's not the highlight of their lives... Maybe of that particular day if you have nothing better to do or anything that would beat rubbing one of for a tank. I mean, if I had to decide between taking my grandma to an hospital or rubbing one off for a tank, I think the highlight is pretty obvious (sorry gran).


Cheers...
