July 18, 1916. The great war is in full swing as the French, Russians, and Italians wage war against the Austro-Hungarian Empire, The Ottoman Empire, and The German Empire. The British have began to illegally blockaded German ports stoping any ships from leaving or entering them. The American Government has protested this action but havent put any consequences on the British. While the French continue to throw men at the German defensive positions in the German state of Alsace-Lorraine* the Russian army is in a state of constant retreat unable to put up a descent defense against the German and Austrian forces.

During the first few months of the war the French army had made little to no progress with masive amounts of casualties while the defending Germans had few casualties. By the spring of 1916 the French forces had taken only 15 miles at the cost of three Million men. The Germans only lost one and a quarter million men. The French were getting desperate to break the German line. At the battle of Strasbourg* from May 2, 1916 to May 20, 1916 the French used Tear gas to try in flush the Germans out of thier defensive positions. But because the German high command figured that the French were going to do something dramatic the army had been issued gas masks that the police would use during riots.

As the scream of thousands artillery shells pierce the air and the thunder of impact shakes the ground on the western front German soldiers duck down in their trenches and press themselves against the walls trying to make themselves as small as possible to minimize the chance of getting hit by shrapnel. As the thunder of French artillery bombarding the Wilhelm line in an attempt to dislodge the defenders grows rapidly the screams of the defenders being wounded or go into a state of absolute terror know at the time as shell shock or as it will become to be know as PTSD*.

"TO YOUR FIRING POSITIONS!! PREPARE TO REPEL THE INVADERS!!!" Officers yell all down the trenches.

German Machine guns bark into action as the rifle men began to open up. Most riflemen dont even aim thier rilfes but just shoot straight ahead. A masive wave of bright blue uniforms quickly comes into view but starts to dwindle in size the closer it gets to the defenders trenches. After a few more seconds the French forces retreat to their trenches and pray the Germans do not counter attack.
