Finally! The script for this one took a while and felt like it had to cover a lot of shallow ground (several times) but I've ended up with something I'm happy enough with. It certainly functions as a conclusion to the preceding 9 videos.

That's the end of that string of content for the War Room though. After this I think we're going to head to a small, sunny Aegean Island to see somebody do something Ludendorff couldn't and leverage tactical success into strategic effect.

In other news, there's the next Scottish Corridor mission in the pipe (I'm sure it will be a disaster) and Red Thunder is coming to Steam, so I should really make some Eastern Front content to tie in with that. Next in the schedule is a Unit Guide so... T34 maybe? We'll see.

Enjoyed the video very much. Very informative in pointing to the need for something more than tactics in order to meet strategic goals. WWI with all the technological advances in destructive capability made that glaringly obvious, but it was the culmination of a shift away from tactics as a means of attaining strategic goals. Looking forward to your videos exploring that emerging, intermediate doctrine in the hierarchy of military art.

Great series. I thought your comment about how they were fighting the war in a manner that was similar to methods used through out the ages was a poignant remark. Because it was still a rigidly controlled system of large units squaring off across a field until the other side gives, they had not developed the command and control necessary for several units to mutually support each other in a scheme of maneuver. Nor the logistical system to support such operations. Therefore it became a log jam of of other units securing the flanks of lead units engaged in battle and this caused a daisy chain of set battles that stretched across Europe.
