Fields of Picardie (Somme)
USE WW1 LOADOUTS, VEHICLES, AND TURRETS. DO NOT GIVE RAVEN TANKS!
The single deadliest day in British military history.
A random place in France where nobody could even point to on a map before the great war, became the graves of hundreds of thousands of men. Commonwealth and French forces face German wire and lead in the chalk fields of Picardie. French forces make commendable gains against the Hun, most British troops are thrown head-first into disaster.

BRITISH (EAGLE) GAMEPLAY: Expect to die, A LOT. You are given, in total, three tanks at the start to seize the forward points. After securing the aforementioned points, you will be granted three more tanks to your disposal. Crossing the forward point, you WILL die, take cover, stay in groups, and ADVANCE! Your main goal are the flanks of the German trench, lightly manned, with just one MG on both flanks. *Get a group of grenadiers!
GERMANY (RAVEN) GAMEPLAY: Your forward points will be almost instantaneously overrun by tanks, at that point you will have to retreat and pray that your MG and mortar-fire will slow the Tommy’s advance down enough to let you escape. If the retreat is successful, you now have to hold your trench AT ALL COSTS! The enemy armour is now far less effective due to the field of barbed wire. At this point the mortars are holding the British advance down, and now all you have to do is run their reinforcements down. *Watch your flanks!
