Ninety years ago today Britain declared war on Germany for invading Belgium, thereby expanding the scope of the war beyond Europe to around the globe...

Can't wait for this game of The Great War to come out.

BTW, it would be really nice if somebody official from Matrix actually posted here, oh lets say once a month or so. I guess the WitP forum is keeping everyone busy! But doesn't have to be Frank himself who posts. He can keep on developing GoA.

Cheers!

"... Did Britian expect Germany to bow to her ultimatum? Page asked. Grey shook his head. 'No of course everyone knows there will be a war.' He stopped for a moment struggling for words. When he resumed his eyes were filled with tears. 'Thus, the efforts of a lifetime go for nothing. I feel like a man who has wasted his life.' At dusk that evening, Grey stood with a friend at his window in the Foreign Office, looking looking down at the lamps being lit in St. James Park. It was then that the unpoetic Sir Edward Grey uttered the lines which memorably signalled the coming of the First Word War. ' The lamps are going out all over Europe', he said. 'We shall not see them it again in our lifetime.'
