A new campaign is live in Verdun and Tannenberg! Which side will suffer the least casualties over the next eight days of fighting? All losses from Frontlines and Maneuver mode battles until April 30 will be recorded, with victory going to the side which loses less men.
The Poison Prince campaign is named after Albrecht, Duke of Württemberg, who commanded German forces during the first major and successful use of gas during the First World War, during the Second Battle of Ypres. Albrecht was the crown-prince of the Kingdom of Württemberg, part of Germany which would cease to exist in 1918.
Casualties following a gas attack.
Although the Second Battle of Ypres was the first significant use of gas, it was not the first attempt by the German army. That dubious honor goes to the Battle of Bolimów in Russia. We’ll share more about these two moments in history during the course of the campaign!
Good luck out there...
