The thing with Pal's Battalions is that, once the unit is wiped out, that often means a village or town has lost its ENTIRE male population. Those formations were first widely introduced in 1916, just in time for the Battle of Somme...so yeah, a LOT Pal's Battalions got wiped out. Thumbs up for Lord Kitchener I guess.
Yeah, it would be tough. Total War is about moving around larger units and directing them across the battlefield. WW I was mostly about sitting in trenches and firing across a strip of torn up soil in between the front lines, sometimes doing a charge. It was a very stationary war.
+George of Azgad Well not really. WW1 was just sitting around filth and rats with the occasional artillery and gas, plane and someone getting shot. More or less the action involved charging to your death, gaining a couple of miles over months.
+Alexandros Triandafillidis the campaign is just so amazingly well done with all those scripted events. i'm learning more from that then i've ever did in all my history classes
This battle was very similar to the Third Battle of the Aisne, and it gave me a somewhat general but good idea of how the battle went outside the history books, really interesting.
Seeing the hill and the setup reminds me of the German (Belgium chapters) and American (Italian chapters, specifically the one where you have to take a hill) campaigns of Blitzkrieg 2 Liberation
Great Video Apollo,but are you going to be doing some of the Classical Medieval 2 Siege Battles anytime soon?i really missed those amazing Classical Siege battles,you know considering Warhammer doesnot has best Siege mechanics...
Hey PA! I saw you on twitch some days ago and I was very surprised of your hairs and beard( Che Guevera style). I always thought about you like someone whom has a good boy look(like Matpat from Game Theory). I was really surprised. Good work however, you are fantastic!
A good idea for a future battle would be Doiran, in Macedonia. There were two major battles at Doiran, one in 1917 and the other in 1918. This could be interesting because it was between the Entente and the Bulgarian Army, a nation we have not yet seen in this mod and is included in it. 1917's Battle ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Doiran_(1917) ) Was only Britain verses Bulgaria, however the 1918 battle ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Doiran_(1918) ) Was between France, Greece and Britain, against Bulgaria. This can show a good 3v2 battle, with the Bulgarians in defence as historically done, and would be a fairly interesting battle to do as by 1918, the Allied side was slowly running out of artillery in the area due to lack of ammunition and depleted supply lines, and so should be shown with low artillery on the allied side.
Finnish jägers are volunteer finns whose goal was to get military training in germany so that they could drive russians out of finland and declare independence. They were secretly trained in germany and fought against russia on eastern front.
I personally would have had two unit's of artillery one on the German assault force then the other for the Austrian/Hungary assault force instead of a tank and then would have stuck with the rest of the force that he had.
Pals battalions were massive failures whenever one of your friends died in war you would be sent into grief when the die horribly, being in grief doesn't help much when fighting as you can imagine
if there was a mod were when people blew up and you were zoomed in and you just heard wait so when teh guy on the top left gives you tips on that it just says Austrian Soilder:HELLLLLLLOOOOOO
Its awesome to see the machine guns being fired telepathically by its crew.
Lmfao
You needed THEM in ww2 HA
That was how they fired them obviously
Super Kawaii Hitler they had force users in the army, that's the obvious reason
Like Nemesis' minigun.

it's haig's fault goddamit
+George of Azgad Lions led by lambs
The problem with Britain was the picking if officers and they needed tactical generals like Foch Pershing or Hindenburg

Foch (France)
Hindenburg (Germany)
Pershing (USA)

Same Brother :D
SHERMAN PLAY MORE WITH THIS MAN! HES AWESOME
+Pixelated apollo is the shemanator your friend
Jerry Allison hes a fellow youtuber xD
There should be a ww1 total war game
Total War mechanics cannot depict realisticly WWI warfare.
Yeah, it would be tough. Total War is about moving around larger units and directing them across the battlefield. WW I was mostly about sitting in trenches and firing across a strip of torn up soil in between the front lines, sometimes doing a charge. It was a very stationary war.
+AGH331 Well what about the Eastern Front?
+AGH331 in my opinion if they can add flying units and tanks in warhammer. then they should be able to release a ww1 total war
+George of Azgad Well not really. WW1 was just sitting around filth and rats with the occasional artillery and gas, plane and someone getting shot. More or less the action involved charging to your death, gaining a couple of miles over months.
Life of a Soldier: Flamethrower Man
We know he died tho
18:00 lone Canadian holding off a whole unit, so proud as a Canadian
Even a seven nation army couldn't hold them back
10/10 comment, England,Ireland,Scotland,Wales,Canada,Australia,New Zealand 7 nations
Eyyyy
Well, strictly speaking, Indian and African as well. So the 10 nation army.
Dude you got REKT by a girl
+Nigel Farage Seven plus two equals Nine. Not ten.
Finnish Jäegers, I'm so glad to hear that. I'm from Finland so those guys are so close for my heart.
+Pixelated Apollo only if there was the Anzacs hay (Australian troopers)
+Brent Neal 5 there are New Zealand infantry, bad sadly not Australians (I believe)
Aww maaaan. The Australian troops are close to my heart too! (and close to me.)
Haha I've been waiting for some WW1 footage, good to see Britain as well 🇬🇧
Thanks man :D
"That's a juicy blob"
- Pixelated Apollo
Pals battalion: good for morale
And good at wiping out an entire male population of a village in one day of fighting.
Your most hated enemy of enemies Jackiefish.
a plus about this channel is that they're is no trolling or abuse in the comments lol. everyone just getting along like we all should. great video
i want to see him do a FAIR fight , every video i have watched he has been massively outnumbered
The attackers had waaay too many artillery units. Damn near impossible.
Austria-Hungary Stronk! Those Tyrolean Jägers raked up the kills, the Austro-Hungarian player played very well.
If my time watching this video taught me one thing... it's that...
War. War never changes.
lol 130k subs congrats apollo ^^
Thanks dude :D
apollo, have you ever thought of playing the "Italian wars" mod for medieval 2?
+Alexandros Triandafillidis the campaign is just so amazingly well done with all those scripted events. i'm learning more from that then i've ever did in all my history classes
1:40. Also meant entire towns could have their younger generation wiped out which is why the pals were rearranged. Spreading out the losses
This battle was very similar to the Third Battle of the Aisne, and it gave me a somewhat general but good idea of how the battle went outside the history books, really interesting.
you should make sure that your MG's can support one another. And hold your tanks for the end when defending.
I came across your channel only a few weeks ago. Now I am a big fan.
Love the videos man, keep it up!
OMG PA and Sherman! two of my favs
You are my favourite TH-camr and I hope you like never stop making videos(I know everyone stops at some point)
This video was great I love watching both you and The Shermanator you guys are great
Do Life of a Soldier: The Last Canadian!
Seeing the hill and the setup reminds me of the German (Belgium chapters) and American (Italian chapters, specifically the one where you have to take a hill) campaigns of Blitzkrieg 2 Liberation
Now if only there was a WWII mod, or holy crap vietnam. Far-stretched but imagine a modern one.
Apollo's knights untie...... but we don't have shoes
Great Video Apollo,but are you going to be doing some of the Classical Medieval 2 Siege Battles anytime soon?i really missed those amazing Classical Siege battles,you know considering Warhammer doesnot has best Siege mechanics...
Just awesome keep up the great work.Can't wait to see more of these chaotic battles
Another brilliant video. this battle reminded me of the hill defence in call of duty 2
Iron Maiden-Paschendale + This video = Epicness Overload
I love this video bro because it really gives an awesome vibe of how the War was!!!

Too many tanks and arty on attacking side :D but otherwise it was really good :-) and also, holy shit your channel is blowing up xD

Amaazing video Apollo , huge fan and keepp up the good work !

I love how you kinda did a collaboration with the Shermantor, I've subscribed to him too :>
the reason the machine gunners were firing into the hill was to make tea.
Great video as usual Apollo! You're awesome
nice video bro really enjoyed it 😊
"its a pretty juicy blob"-Pixelated Apollo
A lone Canadian coming out never cause it not a movie

+Pixelated Apollo pixie pooooooooo!!!
In memory of the flamethrower guy, Riley Edmington.
this resembles what Fredericksburg would've been like had it happened fifty years later.
You should have pulled back to the reverse slope until they got closer to you.
awesome battle look forward for more keep it up!
love the vids, just watched last one, now this ones up good day
17:36 The lone Canadian 🇨🇦
Hello, I've been watching your videos about this mod. How do you download it? And I always love to try it and play with you guys.
love the great vedio hope to see more keep up the great job and would love to see a total war warhammer campain keep up the great content
Shermanator ! Dutch glory
Swedish glory!
Is hè dutch?.... awesome
I am :D
+The Shermanator Yay! Swedish power!
Son do you know Geography?
"Jackie Fish" leads the *German* army? They must really have been running out of names by that point.
It's actually a Mark I tank , the Mark II was a training tank and a female tank. I would LOVE to see a Mark IV or Mark V male tank
wooow i like those british infantry cap
How Germany got stormtroopers:
Canada creates shock troops/stormtroopers
Germany copyrights Canada
I personally would have had two unit's of artillery one on the German assault force then the other for the Austrian/Hungary assault force instead of a tank and then would have stuck with the rest of the force that he had.
9:12 R.I.P Flametrooper
I love your ww1 videos
Pals battalions were massive failures whenever one of your friends died in war you would be sent into grief when the die horribly, being in grief doesn't help much when fighting as you can imagine
jollyrodger22 77 and when they got grief they got court martial
Make a 4 way battle. Germany and Austro-Hungary vs. France and Russia
Who would fight in WW2 you would probably die from chemical warfare not to mention the tanks, the constant gunfire and more!
Pixel, can you Diplex and Raptor do a video on men of war together, please. Man I love the content also! And it's nice to see Britain in battle :D
"correction: tanks*" well, you were half right originally. Tanks are mobile artillery
By the way, you uploaded this exactly on june 1st, 2016, the day the battle of somme was onehundred years old.
Great vid :)
Nice medieval II uploads Apollo LOL
Astria hungary: oh god flamethrowers
Hey pixelated, would it have been a good idea to send your general (cavalry) around the side to take out the artillery in this fight?
Proud of the coldstream
You can’t stop the Finish 🇫🇮
Can you play a WW1 night battle? There's a night mod but I'm not sure if it's compatible with Great war mod.
if there was a mod were when people blew up and you were zoomed in and you just heard wait so when teh guy on the top left gives you tips on that it just says Austrian Soilder:HELLLLLLLOOOOOO
Uuuuuuh what
Wow remember back at only 1k subs now 130,000 they grow up so fast.
great battle pixleated apollo
Life of a soldier that heroic commander
On the flank
On the flank
I love these videos

hey man love this mod and i left the comment for it on the stream.
British: CALL THE AMERICANS, THEYRE CRAZY ENOUGH TO RUN INTO MACHINE GUN FIRE
Germans: A-A-AMERICANS?!? *Runs away

Awesome Video
Why do the British flame throwers have German gas masks... Ah well, I guess the mod's still in development
What are the specs for your computer? Cuz I have a dual core i3 hp laptop and want to know how good this mod will run on my cpu
