By Jolly Jove i love this game.
I can roleplay as a captain and command the lowly trench diggers to pick up the pace while I tell them tales of old and listen to old billy playing the bagpipes he brought with him. God save the Queen I do say.
On occasion, the Gerry's do come over the top into our trenches, blaring 'Cascada - every time we touch' on what seems to be an old JBL Bluetooth speaker, as they burn us to ashes with their FlammenTroossen.
I was once in the midst of a great battle. somewhere on the continent, and by all that is holy, a fully armoured knight stood before me. Head to Toe in iron armour, wielding a great big sword! My dear boy, where did you come from? this is the wrong Century! I say as I point my pistol at him. 3 shots from my revolver, to no effect and i could hear him. laughing at me, with a think Parisian laugh "Honhonhonhon".
Cheeky bugger cut me down where I stood, may I rest in peace.
No Matter, we shall rise again and take the Somme for our own by the grace of god himself.
Roleplaying = 10/10
Gameplay loop = 10/10
Digging = 10/10
Germans = 7/10
French -17/10 (there are too many of them. Sacre bleu yourself you baguette munching Frenchman)
There is no learning curve. its simple to enlist in her majesty's royal 2nd battalion and go to war. Bring all the men in your village while you're there.
My one comment of criticism is the player count. Last Saturday there was 300 people online. How can I shout commands when apparently everyone I talk to is a bloody clanker. I do need feedback from the shenanigans and the lack of players is a shame for a prestigious creation such as this one.
Jolly great War, I look forward to the next one
