I do not agree, it depends on how many troops you have in the fox-holes, they are close connected to the ohter bonuses and can be use as buffer zones, its first when you have hammered troops down under 1 that it becomes 1 neutral, what dont have to be an easy task, front trenches are a dangerous place to be in, but can also be hard to conquer.

No. killer neutrals will reset to 1 neutral no matter how many troops you have on them.

Though I love the map and the idea! I have been advocating a trench warfare idea for some time! It's about time somebody took it into action, though I was thinking of something more like the Somme. But "generally" works, too.

I echo not adding in too many gimmicks or complications.

And are the supply lines and field hospital included in that? I think the field hospital should be safe.
Maybe you could add some airplanes and have them able to bombard each other too.

The Geneva Conventions came into effect BECAUSE of this war, where the most inhumane things ever used in war were employed (gas being the most famous one). So having a Geneva Conventions-based rule in the mix would be un-authentic.

agree, ww1 on both sides avoided no means, who was the first real modern and perhaps therefore the most cruel war in the new time period.

I agree with both sides here. But for the sake of gameplay, at the moment the shell holes are the only places safe from bombardment, doesn't that make them too important? And it would probably make situations where people would only be stacking in the shell-holes, which would be seem a bit strange in relation to the realities of trench war.
As for the airplanes, you wouldn't need more planes, you could divide up the airfield next to the planes.

TaCktiX, when you say "divide the airfield" you mean by then scrink the plane and put 2-3 more in same field and they are then seperate targets ?
It sounds like a cool idea.

That was me saying that...
You could do it that way. But wouldn't necessarily need to. You could have several numbers on the field next to one big plane. But maybe having several smaller planes would look better.

But I actually think having bombardment of No-man's land is still a good idea. I think it adds another element that the players have to be observant and know what's going on. Because it might lead to a non-observant or non-experienced player to waste ammo on taking out enemies in no-man's land because they don't realise that they turn neutral. Or they forget.
Another, better point is that it allows you to see no-man's land in fog games. In that way the planes could be considered reconnaissance planes.

You got a very good point, (who hasent in a sleepy moment bombarded a neutral troop, I dident say that )
I can see when you put that way, that it could make some sence.
I think what qwert ment was that it sounded conflicting, perhaps it should be formulated another way, and it could provide a spoil by taking out your opponents sentenced to death troop, you dont get any thing for hitting a 1 neutral troop.

You do get spoils from bombarding neutrals too.
