VERDUN, FRANCE
The General looked through his binoculars. Looking down at his artillery firing off shots of shells. He then looked toward the city of Verdun. It lay there, in dust, as they have been attacked by surprise; they were not able to retaliate with very much artillery. The French were also shooting blindly, because they were under fire, they would not nessisarily be able to hear or see where the German Forces are loacted. Not knowing where the Germans were located at all, they had a very slim chance of effecting the German Forces at all.
The General lowered his binoculars and said "Seise fire, advance the infantry, then order the charge."
Just then, wistles could be heard, and the hundreds of thousands of German Infantry began to pace their way toward the leveled city (as they excpect). They could hear enemy artillery opening up, randomly shooting anywhere they senced German Forces. They heard the occasional close artillery strike. Then the occasional one that actually hit German Forces.
About 5 German Soldiers few in the air in peices along with millions of particles of dust into the air as it also rained down blood on the neerby soldiers. It was the first German Casualties on the French front. May it be remembered.
Once the infantry got into charging range they blew the wistles once more and the thousands of infantry went into a running charge. Shooting as they go, once an enemy was seen peeking out, if any. As they approched the city it got worse and worse as it went. The bombardment had been a terrible inferno. The muzzling fire from the German guns is one uninterrupted sea of fire. Black grenades fell with a frequency of 40 a minute. Men were ripped to pieces, or were buried underneath the earth or disappear into thin air when hit. Ancient trees are completely uprooted; human remains are hanging in the branches. It seemed like the world is coming to an end. This horrible bombardment that lasted more than 9 long hours had came to and end and the German Infantry were witnessing their doings as they came closer to the city. But they were approching the first French trench, and expected very very little reistance.

The regulars had been hiding from the German artillary bombardment but the nfantry attack came as no surprise. All along the line 14,000 men opened up on the incoming German masses throwing a wall of lead at them with their rifles and machine guns. The 200 75's nearby qiuckly opened up on the advancing German infantry out on the open firing shrapnel and burst rounds to geet the maximum effect. The Germans weren't just sitting there and taking this punishment though as many Frenchmen died from German counterfire. The sheer mass of Germans meant they would take lots of casuaties probaly but it also meant the single division holding the line would not hold. The Germans kept on advancing thru the fire then they hit the barbed wire stopping them for a sec.
Behind the line the 37th division was doing its best to move up to the line but a simple traffic accident held up the whole division for two hours.
2,645 casualties

OOC: Let me get this straight, about a half a day of bombardment, and your lines happen to be still intact, along with barbed wire?? You still happen to have 20,000 troops? I only let you loose only about 3,000 men because I was asuming you didn't have very many there. France lost tens of thousands, probably even in the hundreds of thousands, from the bombardment alone in the RL Battle of Verdun. The French trenches were completely pulverised, phone lines and artillery destroyed entirely. I hightly doubt, that you would have 400 working 75's nearby. Let alone intact trenches and 20,000 men...uneffected by the half-day bombardment they have endured. Not only rethink your respond, but also, rethink your casualties; you would loose less than that you have posted (2,645 casualties) in your last post; as of now, and your casualties from the bombardment would be higher. Please dont get pissy or get mad at me because I'm "trying to abuse my power". I'm not abusing anything. I'm simply trying to preserve the last bit of realism left in the forum.

VERDUN, FRANCE
Following the bombardments, not only did the General send out forces to try and take the fortress and city of Verdun, but he also begin their attacks on the Bois d’Haumont (by the VIIth German army corps), the Bois des Caures (by the XVIIIth German army corps) and the Bois de l’Herbebois (by the IIId German army corps). In these attacks the Germans use the flame-thrower as an offensive weapon for the first time. Each, of which is being invaded by roughly 10,000 men. Along with 10 Sturmpanzerwagen A7V tanks per village to help break the French lines obligated in holding their positions in those villages.
400 Artillery peices within range of the villages of Brabant, and Samogneux take their aim at the cities defenses. The commanders know their targets from the German reconnaissance aeroplanes that brought back their obversations to command. They all open fire at once with precision and the ground rumbles as the towed artillery fired off their shells. The black gernades came down on the two villages and the French defenses located there at roughly 14 a minute. The bombardment will last for roughly 15 minutes before they seize fire and German Infantry are ready to attack.

OOC: I have waited and waited for like 4 days for you to come on so I could speak with you about your reply on AIM. You havn't signed on since.
I can understand that you would have 14,000 men left, but realisticly, you would have 14,000 men left all together, not on the first line of defense.
VERDUN, FRANCE
He could see his men charging the lines taking some fire. He knew that they could break the French line easily, but he also knew that they're going to take a bit of casualties before they do. He was Alexander Fleischer. And he was a part of a sniper division located in France. They were positioned in trees, and took their shots at the remains of the bombarded French troops. Most of the snipers focused on machine guns, and people manning them. They would kill them, then someone would take over. It was their job to cover those machine guns. Other wise they would be shooting at random French soldiers.
Meanwhile, the German infantry expected all human life to have disappeared but to their surprise the bombardment is less effective as has been expected and persistent and heroic resistance is given from all directions. They advance, some running in the open taking shots, and some advancing useing tanks as cover. 20 Sturmpanzerwagen A7V's are helping with the invasion of the city of Verdun. They reach the first line of defense, the flame throwers are the first to reach them, spraying fire throughout the trench.
A number of fighters have been called to drop a small payload of bombs, and fire upon on French defenses and artillery in the fortress of Verdun with their machine guns.
German Casualties
2,605-German Soldiers dead
4,560- German Soldiers Injured

OOC: That's it, I'll give you one more day and I'll consider France and all of it's colonies surrendered if you dont come on and post, and I'll post casualties myself. This has happened 4 times already. This thread has been up here for over a month (not kidding, look at the date of the first post; September 10th). If Italy can somehow surrender with no resistance, I expect France to.
