The Entente and Central Powers clash again in our latest campaign event: the Poison Prince campaign. Casualties from both Verdun and Tannenberg on PC will be tallied up until April 30, and the side which loses the least men will emerge victorious.
Poison gas was first used on the Eastern Front at the Battle of Bolimów in Russia, by the Germans. It failed (badly) but poison gas would be used again on the Western Front during the Second Battle of Ypres. It would be far more successful there… we’ll share more about these two moments in history during the course of the campaign!

The Poison Prince campaign is named after the German commander for the second, more effective gas attack. Albrecht, Duke of Württemberg was the crown-prince of the Kingdom of Württemberg, part of Germany which would cease to exist in 1918.
Good luck out there…
