Accordingly, I authorize General von Falkenhayn to attack with 70 divisions along a thirty-mile front! WE WILL TAKE VERDUN!

FrankHunter -> RE: This forum's communications have returned to a stalemate (2/16/2005 8:26:33 AM)
Do you really want to take Verdun or just pull the other side into your arty killing ground?

CSSS -> RE: This forum's communications have returned to a stalemate (2/16/2005 6:49:50 PM)
Yes I agree Verdun was NOT supposed to have been taken!

FrankHunter -> RE: This forum's communications have returned to a stalemate (2/16/2005 8:56:07 PM)
Not originally. But that doesn't seem to have been communicated from Falkenhayn all the way down.

Certainly von Falkenhayn envisioned an attritive struggle "to bleed the French white"; his memoirs state that even after the war, he believed that a favorable 5:2 casualty ratio had been achieved. However, I believe taking Verdun was a "bonus" objective -- the seizure of Verdun would help secure the rail lines parallel to the German front line and stabilize their position in France, as well as deal a huge public-relations blow to the French government. In any event, this thread has prompted posting on the forum with relation to WW1, so I believe the offensive has succeeded! [:)]

It could if they issued a call for Beta testers. Hint, hint, hint.

All quiet on the Western Front... I'll check in here in the late spring.

Will I need tweezers to handle my huge stacks of counters?
