++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.
