Bloody Autumn 1914 ends...

The Bloody Autumn event has come to an end in Verdun. This seasonal event was based on The Battle of Ypres 1914, which was one of the most violent battles of World War I. While historically, that battle ended in a stalemate, the results during this event do have a winner!

The Entente suffered 1.537.161 casualties while the Central Powers lost even more with 1.604.116 fallen soldiers, which makes the Entente faction the winner of the Bloody Autumn 1914!
Considering the Battle of Ypres 1914 had around 295.000 casualties in total, it’s pretty clear that the digital Battlefields have seen a lot more blood spilling than in real life, thankfully!

The number of casualties includes the struggles on the Western Front as well as the Siege of Przemyśl on the Eastern Front of Tannenberg. For this event we only counted the kills that involved a player, so bots vs bots fights have not been counted.

Look out for more Seasonal events coming soon where you can earn more special medals across Verdun & Tannenberg!

On the 5th of November 1918, allies agreed to take up negotiations for a truce. French general Ferdinand Foch would be writing up one of the most important documents in human history soon after. The Armistice of Compiègne was signed on November 11th 1918 and went into effect a couple of hours later. A day to be remembered, but we will have more on that next week…
