Evidently the Bakmuht campaign is not going well. I say allegedly because, as usual, the sources of this are pretty shaky. Hopefully it’s not true because this is a major escalation otherwise. Like point-of-no-return level.

They literally brag about using banned weapons in WW1?
It’s a whole thing. “We started using shotguns, the Germans complained they were inhumane and said shotgunners would be executed on sight. So we said we’d start executing flamers and stuff, they shut up. Murica!”. It’s more meant to highlight the hypocrisy of calling for shotguns to be banned, while using flamethrowers and poison gas. Which is not entirely unreasonable
Oh fuck poison gas. Propably the biggest “The way to hell is paved with good intentions” of WW1. The guy who came up with it knew what horrible slaughter trench fighting was, so he wantewd to create something that made fighting outside trenches viable again. Thus the whole affair less gruesome. Fast forward. It only got worse.
Wait are shotguns OP?
In trenches? Yes. No cover, not much space. Might aswell use a grenade launcher, no difference.
