Re-enactment of the Battle of Saint-Mihiel

We'd firstly like to express our appreciation for everyone who responded to our Armistice activities here and on social media with thoughtful comments. It’s great that after so many years, people are still showing their respect and commemorating the World War One.

This is an impromptu in-game Armistice captured by player bucklington.

Next Sunday 24th November, player Ranjid is organising another great community re-enactment event.

You are invited to join a ferocious battle between the French and Germans at Saint Mihiel. Poilus and Senegalese Tirailleurs will face German Landser squads backed up by Stosstruppen and Pioneers. Since it's a battle in 1918, you can expect some less common weapons like the MP 18s and flamethrowers to be present.

This is re-enactment event, so you'll be expected to follow some basic instructions. Your reward is the chance to participate in coordinated 'over the top' mass charges following artillery barrages, bayonet attacks, and simply a more organized battle experience. There's nothing quite like it!

Sign up by shooting Ranjid a message - read all about the event here!

We'd like to say thank you to Ranjid for his many wonderful events over the years. He has announced that he will retire from these events in 2020, and we wish him all the best.

Of course, you don't need any special permissions to arrange an event. In the x64 group we have seen some great matches planned on the EU and US servers, more info here. We love community events, and it'd be great to see others take the initiative and host some events of their own.
