Today is November 11th - Armistice Day. Also known as Poppy Day, Remembrance Day and Veterans Day. A special memorial day dedicated to remember those who gave their life during WW1. Held by several countries, moments of silence fall over several areas all over the world.



As more countries follow this tradition of remembering those who’ve fallen in their line of duty, November 11th is known under many names, but all with the same idea in mind. This tradition grew out of Armistice Day, which marks the signing of the armistice between the Allies and Germany. In the USA, it is also known as Veterans Day.

A moment of silence in Tannenberg

In Tannenberg, but also Verdun & Isonzo, you’ll be able to remember those who have fallen as well. There's 2 minutes of silence when you start up the game, just as it would be during an IRL memorial. If you choose to participate, you’ll receive a Remembrance medal afterwards.



Furthermore, we’ve also enabled the Film Memoir mode for today as well. You find these settings at Settings -> Graphics.

Remember together

Additionally, we have a special poppy flower emote in our Discord , specially for this day. Feel free to use it in your Discord bio, status and share with others. If you want to, you can share with us as well who and/or how you remember on this day in our dedicated armistice channel.

Other activities that you could do to remember on this day are:
  • Visit a WW1 museum, stand still by the stories that are being told through the exposition
  • Read a WW1-related book. Fiction or nonfiction, whatever has your preference. As long as you feel compelled and touched by the story.
  • Watch a WW1 movie and/or series. Your streaming service might have a special dedicated section for today. Watch a movie you enjoy or try something new.

Soldiers!

It’s time to put your strengths together and fight a shared enemy. On this cold front, the icy and winter weather has made it hard to survive, but not only for you. The wolves are hungry, and you all seem like the perfect meal…



Winner winner, wolf’s dinner

The annual Wolf Truce has returned to Tannenberg! Starting today, October 18th, until November 1st you can participate in this unique Tannenberg event. When you hear the wolves howl on the battlefields*, the wolf pack will soon charge in to make their attack on you and your enemy. Both sides of the battlefield have the opportunity to cease fire and fight the hungry wolves together. If everyone is able to eliminate the pack of hungry beasts without hurting anyone on the opposing team, you’ll all earn a special medal.

*These events randomly trigger on snowy maps



Historical background

During the third winter in 1917 of the Great War, the region between the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea was the battlefield for the German and Russian Armies. Having to fight each other often in brutal conditions and harsh environments resulted in negative effects on the soldiers’ supply lines, leading to some serious food shortages.



However, the soldiers weren’t the only ones who were hungry. The wolves who were native to the region faced an increased difficulty in hunting their normal prey. They already started feasting on the livestock in nearby villages, but it wasn’t enough to quell their hunger.



The wolf attacks might at one point have been so fearsome that the German and Russian troops called a temporary cease-fire toward each other and formed a brief alliance to jointly fight the lupine threat (although reports do come from US newspapers, so take them with a pinch of salt).

Price-hungry wolves

Seems like the wolves started to nibble on some things here in the Steam store. Tannenberg will be on sale later today with a 75% discount (7pm CEST)! Join the Eastern Front and save yourself (and your enemies) from becoming dinner.

Additionally, to celebrate Isonzo winning the Best Audio award you can find Tannenberg’s soundtrack on sale as well!

Today marks the anniversary of the WW1GameSeries, as today Verdun went into Early Access 10 years ago!

We want to thank all our soldiers who have joined the fronts over the years. Did you make your way from the Western Front, towards the Eastern one and ended up high in the mountains in Isonzo?
Or are you a new recruit who recently joined any of the fronts?

No matter what, we thank you for playing our games!

Here are some fun facts for each games, that you might not know.
  • The first ideas and concepts for Verdun were made back in August 2006, 17 years ago!
  • For Tannenberg, the team considered for a long time to make a Cossacks soldier the main promo banner character
  • Isonzo's well beloved OST 'Rinascereme Insieme' wasn't planned at the beginning, but more a place holder song. It really grew on the team and they decided to make it into a full song that you now know and love today
  • Combined, the games have 29 maps. Here they are from west to east, north to south:
  • Flanders, Artois, Picardie, Aisne, Champagne, Argonne, Vauquois, Douaumont, st. Mihiel, Vosges, Cengio, Fior, Dolomiti, Piana, Grappa, Piave, Caporetto, Sabotino, Gorizia, Carso, Baltic, East Prussia, Galicia, Poland, Carpathians, Prsemysl, Ukraine, Roumania, Dobrudja

Hi soldiers!

The new, free map; Monte Piana is releasing next week on September 7th!

See you at the Italian Front!

August 26, 1914; the start of The Battle Of Tannenberg. The battle took place in Allenstein, Prussia, which is located in current day Poland. Here, the German army and Russian army fought each other for 5 days (until August 30th), which led to the almost full destruction of the Russian Second Army. Its commanding general, Alexander Samsonov, took his own life.


Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.

The German success was brought to them by Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, along with his staff-officer Erich Ludendorff.

The battle got his suggested name to avenge the Teutonic Knights’ defeat, who fought the first Battle of Tannenberg 500 years prior. The Teutonic Knights were part of a Christian military order, who aided Christians on their pilgrimages on the way to the Holy Land, Jerusalem.

In-game event

Starting today until September 1st, you can play our latest campaign. All casualties in Frontlines & Maneuver game modes in Verdun and Tannenberg will be added to the total losses. The winning side will be whoever suffers the least amount of killed and wounded soldiers. Too many First World War battles essentially became meat grinders (or were even conceived as such from the start) and so it is for our campaigns.

A new battle awaits at the Italian Front
