EVENT SUMMARY: This will be heavily themed event based taking place in the highly acclaimed Real Tim Strategy game Hearts Of Iron IV, in which players will seek to guide their own nations on the path to Victory during The Second World War. This event may be a one-off or a repeated affair, depending on interest. However, to prevent some of the typical issues with HOI4 multiplayer games, there will be some guidelines for behavior in the event to assist with the flow of events. These are not intended to force a particular outcome or victor in the game's conclusion, and if anyone has a suggestion for additional rulings, please feel free to make suggestions in the comments. ++SLOTTING++ (FINAL SAY IS AT EVENT HOSTS DISCRETION) NOTES: Nations are being broken up according to government type and Historical Standing to ensure a balance of government types and playstyles within the game session.

++MISSION BRIEFING++ "We’ve been sitting here since Christmas 1914, during which time millions of men have died, and we’ve advanced no further than an asthmatic ant with some heavy shopping..." Mission Summary: We have committed ourselves, alongside our French allies, to a combined offensive against German forces positioned in the Valley of the Somme. The goal is to relieve pressure on French forces at Verdun and to inflict significant losses on the enemy in this region. In preparation for the assault, German fortifications have been subjected to a five-day artillery bombardment, and we are now poised to begin our advance. Our platoon’s objective for the first day is to secure as much of the German defensive line within our assigned sector as possible and to seize control of the town of Serre at the far end of our current sector. We anticipate that German forces will be disorganized after such an extensive bombardment, and we expect to make substantial gains on the first day. General Haig holds great expectations for this offensive and looks forward to moving his drinks cabinet closer to Berlin.... ++BRIEFING COMPLETED++ MISSION SUMMARY: This will be a heavily themed mission with elements taken from the Historic events of the 1st World War The mission will be making use of the Arma 3 mods IFA3 AIO, JAM Shell Shock - WW1, Improved Melee System and others which will be posted as well at the bottom of this event page in a compiled list. Weaponry within the mission will be restricted to those present in the First World War based weaponry and will be restricted per your chosen role. Tags for applicable roles are being enforced and will not be different from standard slotting. Squad Structure and PTLN structure have been changed to accommodate the theme. ++SLOTTING++ (TAGS & REGS PRIORITIZED) (RESERVED SLOTS MAY BE OVERWRITTEN BY TAG-HOLDERS) (PREVIOUSLY RESERVED SLOTS REQUESTED DO NOT HAVE PRIORITY OVER OTHER APPLICANTS REGARDLESS OF TAGS.

Officers (PLTNHQ, PLTN 2ic) Are permitted to shoot soldiers for refusal to participate in infantry assaults. Due to performance restrictions and time constraints I as a Zeus cannot line the map end to end with trench emplacements. As Such Flanking Around the outer edges of Trench emplacements is not permitted in this mission. Respawns will be placed at the nearest Trench System completely Captured by the platoon. Respawns will be done in waves and will not be conducted during ongoing assaults after 2x waves are called by PLTNHQ. --RESTRICTIONS-- ++NOTES++ The improved Melee system can be configured by esc > options > controls > configure addons > WebKnight's Melee. Primary Weapons with an attached bayonet can be used to bayonet enemies by use of the improved Melee system Buttstock Hit/Bayonet Charge ability. Those streaming or inclined to listen should be aware that music from the Original Call of Duty WW2 games will be played throughout the mission. The 1st World War was one of the bloodiest conflicts in human history and I intend to give you all an authentic experience. Casualties should be expected and will be heavy. Barbed wire was a major factor in area denial and defensive entrenchment in the 1st World War and will be taken into account here. Players seen vaulting through razor wire or climbing on top of Razor Wire will be Damaged and or Killed. --NOTES-- ++EQUIPMENT++ Note: FK Weaponry and equipment rules unless otherwise specified remain in effect for this mission.
