The restraints, direct and indirect, which it imposed being gone with it, we return to sounder tests of what should be public knowledge—uncomfortable truths may be told, secret places explored. At the same time, the first squall of controversy in France over the opening of the land campaign in the West has subsided; this lull is the student's opportunity. No complete history of the events culminating in the victory of the Marne is yet possible, or soon to be expected. On the German side, evidence is scanty and of low value ; on that of the Allies, there is yet a preliminary work of sifting and measuring to undertake ere definitive judgments can be set down.

  • It Will Cost What It Will!” Tour and Gravelotte-St
    At Any Cost: Metz 1870 is a game simulating the situation west of the Metz fortress during those few days of August 1870. The AT ANY COST: game is designed to be a playable, two-player brigade-scale game that allows players to experience the unique tactical warfare matchups that characterized fighting during the Franco- Prussian War. This era, though generally overlooked in the METZ 1870 gaming industry, is a fascinating study in Napoleonic tactics (and uniforms) slamming head-on into modern killing technology. The Prussian military juggernaut is armed with the new steel Krupp breach-loading artillery pieces that far outclassed the French guns. Prussian doctrine, adapted to the lessons learned during the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, allowed junior officers to exercise initiative and aggressiveness. The French army, meanwhile, was armed with the modern and deadly Chassepot rifle, a firearm so advanced that many argue its deployment alone should have won the war for the French. In addition, the French army was now equipped with their ultimate secret weapon - the Mitrailleuse, which was the first machinegun used en masse. Moreover, the game system makes clear that the French soldier, despite misconceptions to the contrary, fought valiantly during these battles. By all rights, they could have – and should have – won many of these engagements. But leadership, morale and tenacity won the day for the Prussians. All these factors are seamlessly embedded into the At Any Cost game system and players will be challenged to utilize their advantages

  • The Operational Role of British Corps Command on the Western Front, 1914-18
    The Operational Role of British Corps Command on the Western Front, 1914-18 Andrew Simpson University College, London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Abstract British corps command having been neglected in the literature, this thesis sets out to assess what British corps did, and how they did it, on the Western Front during the Great War. It attempts to avoid anecdotal sources as much as possible, drawing its evidence instead as much as possible from contemporary official documents. It is a central argument here that Field Service Regulations, Part 1 (1909), was found by commanders in the BEF to be applicable throughout the war, because it was designed to be as flexible as possible, its broad principles being supplemented by training and manuals. Corps began the war in a minor role, as an extra level of command to help the C-in-C control the divisions of the BEF. With the growth in numbers and importance of artilleiy in 1915, divisions could not cope with the quantity of artilleiy allotted theni, and by early 1916, the corps BGRA became the corps artilleiy commander (GOCRA). In addition to its crucial role in artillery control, corps was important as the highest level of operational command, discussing attack plans with Armies and divisions and being responsible for putting Army schemes into practice. Though corps tended to be prescnptive towards divisions in 1916, and Armies towards corps, a more hands-off style of command was generally practised in 1917, within the framework of FSR and the pamphlet SS13S (and others - to be used with FSR).

  • Military Units Which Supported Or Opposed the 100Th Infantry Division in the European Theater of Operations, 1944–45
    Military Units Which Supported or Opposed the 100th Infantry Division in the European Theater of Operations, 1944–45 Keith E. Bonn Copyright 2000 by Keith E. Bonn. All rights reserved. Published by Aegis Consulting Group, PO Box 629, Bedford, PA 15522. Units Which Supported the 100th Infantry Division Although the 100th, like all US infantry divisions in WWII, was a combined arms organization with its own infantry, light and medium artillery, combat engineers, and mechanized cavalry troop, it was supported by a variety of separate Corps and Army assets in the execution of most of its missions. At various times, the 100th was supported by a vast array of corps and Army artillery units, and the list is too long to reproduce here. Suffice it to say that all artillery fires, including at times 155mm rifles and 8-inch howitzers from corps artillery and even 8-inch rifles and 240mm howitzers from Seventh Army artillery, were all controlled by the 100th’s DIVARTY, and their fires integrated with the DIVARTY fire support plans. None of these supporting artillery units were ever attached to the 100th, but only designated to fulfill varying reinforcing or direct support roles. This section provides information about the major combat outfits that were actually attached to the 100th, in part or entirely, throughout almost all of its com- bat in the ETO. By contributing unique battlefield capabilities and providing mobility or firepower beyond that available from integral Division resources, each of them played a vital role in the Division’s victories. The 100th Infantry Division was assigned to the Seventh Army throughout the Division’s combat operations.
