Depends on the losses of the defenders and what they had in reserve I'd imagine.
And did you spell your name correctly this time?

I think my old nation got deleted or something over the Christmas break - I couldn't log in. So whatever, the old name always annoyed me.
And WWI combat is a mystery to me. I'm sure the popular idea of "500 men charging into a hail of machine gun fire, 10 of them make it to the enemy trenches only to be bayoneted" has some truth to it, but I can't help but think that that's a very dumbed down version.

When the battle resumed the following day, the Germans had recovered and improved their defensive positions. British attempts to continue the advance with the reserves were repulsed.[8] Twelve attacking battalions suffered 8,000 casualties out of 10,000 men in four hours.
Lt. Col-Dr. John A. English wrote:As late as September 26, 1915, two new British divisions were committed to attack under such circumstances [bayonet charge against machine guns] in the area of Loos. Twenty minutes of bombardment, which appears to have caused the Germans no casualties, was followed by a pause of about half an hour. Then 10,000 men in 12 battalions advanced up a gentle slope toward enemy trenches still protected by unbroken barbed wire. At 1,500 yards range, the British advance met with a storm of machine-gun fire, which, in rough three and one half hours, killed 385 officers and 7,861 men. As remnants of the British staggered away from "Liechenfeld von Loos," the Germans stopped firing in compassion. Their casualties in the same time had been nil.

If only that were the truth.

Also, B.H. Liddell-Hart's battalion was annihilated in an almost similar manner in the Battle of the Somme.
The Allies took many years of charging machine guns with elan et esprit before they realized bullets trumped martial courage.

Bloody Verdun was the German campaign to "bleed the french white".
There's not a family in France from the time period who's blood did not soak that ground.

Happens at 1:20 for a few seconds, but I recommend watching the whole video. NSFW for gore(iirc)(yep gore/death) and plenty of unsettling footage of neurosis. Also the music, if I can even call it that, is terrifying.
Now I just feel like shit.

Why is it your favorite? I'd think WWII is what really defined what a big war would really be like to this day. (of course, in the interwar period, everybody thought the next war would be like WWI)
Some of that footage is from WWII. The first video is the Barham exploding in 41.

Compassion, or just saving ammo :/
