Dual Spring Offensive Campaign begins!
[h2]Spring Offensive - Western Front[/h2]
Michael, Georgette, Gneisenau, Blücher-Yorck - No these are not the names of soldiers or generals, but the codenames of the German offensives during their spring offensive. Also known as the Kaiserschlacht (Emperor Battle) or the Ludendorff Offensive, it was a series of attacks along the Western Front during WW1 in France and Belgium.
Starting on March 21 1918, it was Germany's final attempt to achieve victory by defeating the Allies before the US would arrive as reinforcements. At this point, the German Army had a temporary advantage in numbers with around 50 divisions. These had been freed by the Russian withdrawal with the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.

[h2]Dual Spring Offensive in game[/h2]
Our latest campaign event will run until March 27.
All casualties in Frontlines and Maneuver game modes in Verdun and Tannenberg will be added to the total losses, and the winning side will be whoever suffers the least killed and wounded. Too many First World War battles essentially became meatgrinders (or were even conceived as such from the start) and so it is for our campaigns.
