The exhibition is designed and organized by the Mémorial'14-18 Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, the Defense Communication and Audiovisual Production Establishment (ECPAD) and the Ardennes Departmental Council through the War and Peace Museum.

For more information about the museum, please be sure to check their website. If you do visit the expo, be sure to share pictures with us on social media and/or Discord

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

We'll have more fun little activities along the way so stay tuned here in the Discord and on our social media

We would like to let you know that the Monte Piana map is now live in Isonzo!


It’s been almost a year since Isonzo was released and a lot has been added and improved since. We still have much more in store, so be sure to join the Italian Front!

Hello everyone!

The Italian Front will have a new map soon!
The Monte Piana map for Isonzo will release next week on September 7th for free!



If you would like to read more about the map and the battle it’s based on, be sure to read our two latest devblogs about it.

At the start of World War One, the railway from Thionville (Diedenhofen) to Luxembourg City, Arlon and Namur with Belgium as its destination, had been cut by the demolition of the rail bridge over the Meuse at Namur (Belgium). This was the start of the Siege of Maubeuge, which took place on August 24 until September 7, 1914.

During this siege, the Germans who were stationed in the north could only use the single-track line from Trier to Liège, Brussels, Valenciennes and Cambrai, which could accommodate a maximum of forty trains a day.

At the end of August, the garrison made several sorties but the third was a costly failure, after which the French prepared to receive the German attack. The German bombardment began at 1:00 p.m. on 29 August, assisted by agents in the Entrenched Position who passed reports on the fall of shot, greatly increasing the accuracy of the German guns. The forts and infantry shelters (ouvrages) were wrecked by the German and Austrian super-heavy howitzers; German medium artillery also proved unexpectedly effective.


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.


The Monte Piana map for Isonzo is coming closer! Want to know more about the battle it's based on? Read the latest devblog here:

Hello soldiers,

Today marks an important day in history. On this day in 1914, the first World War had officially begun. What many initially thought as a 'short' conflict, turned into an international battlefield for 4 years.
To commemorate this, we've enabled the Film Memoir mode for you all to experience for free, even if you don't own a Supporter Pack DLC. This provides a new experience in the game, so be sure to check it out! You can use this feature for free until August 4th. You can enable the feature by going to Options > Graphics.



Be sure to share with us in our Discord or on our social media when using the filter!



Additionally, we’ve arranged a list of activities you could do remember this important day in history

• Visit a memorial monument
  Depending on where you live, there might be a WW1 memorial monument nearby. See if you could visit and pay your respects
  
• Visit a museum with a WW1 exposition
  Again, this is depending on where you live, but potentially worth going there. Visit a museum with a WW1 exposition brings you a little closer to the events that took place. There might be even a special tour regarding this important day in history.
  
• Read a book regarding the Great War
  Books can be important means of media to remember history, but they can also be used for entertainment purposes. Fiction or nonfiction, there are many books regarding the subject of WW1. Here are a few you could read on this day.
  
  - A Mad Catastrophe: The Outbreak of World War I and the Collapse of the Habsburg Empire by Geoffrey Wawro. Delving into the “dark heart” of Vienna, Wawro shows how it goaded Serbia and Russia into war, before tracing the wavering fortunes of the Royal and Imperial Army as it faced off against two strong opponents and, ultimately, nearly collapsed after just three months of fighting.
  - The White War: Life and Death on the Italian Front, 1915-1919 by Mark Thompson. Featuring many well-known characters of the Italian front such as General Luigi Cadorna, Ernest Hemingway and Gabriele D’Annunzio, it shows us what happened when Italy joined the First World War and fought so hard for a victory that was, in the end, a “mutilated” one that would poison her body politic for generations.
  - Death of a Hero by Richard Aldington. Semi based on the author’s own experience during World War One, the story follows George Winterbourne, who enlists in the British Expeditionary Army during the Great War and gets sent to France. After a rash of casualties leads to his promotion through the ranks, he grows increasingly cynical about the war and disillusioned by the hypocrisies of British society
  
  
• Watch a movie/series centering WW1
  You might not have much free time to read a book or visit a place. Movies/series are also a great media to remember what happened and experience stories of what (could’ve) happened. Here are a few recommendations
  - All Quiet on the Western Front (1930/1979/2022). All based on the novel with the same title by Erich Maria Remarque, it’s for many a must-watch if you’re interested in history and World War One. You might’ve only seen one movie adaptation. Now is a good time to give others a chance too!
  
  
  - 1917 (2019), directed by Sam Mendes. You follow the story of Blake & Schofield. The date is April 6th, 1917 and an infantry battalion assembles to wage war deep in enemy territory. It’s up to them to deliver a message that will stop 1,600 men from walking straight into a deadly trap.
  - Apocalypse la 1ère Guerre mondiale (2014). Originally a French, mini documentary tv series, it is highly acclaimed as it doesn’t solely focuses on the the relatively known Flanders and France battles, but also the generally unknown Italian-Austrian, German-Polish-Russian, Japanese-German, Ottoman Empire- Allied and African German Colonies, and other unknown or forgotten fronts and battles. Later translated into English for international audiences as ‘World War 1: The Apocalypse’.
  
  
• Play a World War One game
  Fully immerse yourself and experience World War One for yourself (to a certain extent of course). Join the Western-, Eastern and/or Italian Front in our games. Hold a moment of silence before you start the battle with your fellow soldiers* in a match. Or try any other WW1-inspired game in your library
  
  *this not referring to a moment of silence that’s triggered by the game, more a suggestion of what you can do as players yourself.

Additionally to the free Film Memoir mode, you can now find both Verdun (-75%) & Isonzo (-50%) discounted.
