Only got through the opening portions of this and it was very fascinating and very well written. Reminds me of the ole Documentaries I use to watch on the Discovery or History Channel about The Great War.

One of my favorite programs too at the History Channel. What struck me about this summary: it mirrors just about what is happening in the game and why the game is set up the way it is, like it was written for the game and not like the game was written for the war. .

The site also includes a number of interesting facts/stories including thumbnail active maps, which I thought were kind of neat.

By the way: BVW is one of the most prolific opponents I have encountered in MP.[:)]
