I get their frustration. The results don't read right. The turns are just wipeouts of one side or the other. Maybe the sequences are too long or the orders are too rigid or something but it's actually stressful to read as an observer. Game developers know that you can't keep saying "they're not playing it right" eventually you have to acknowledge it's setting them up.

And yeah, real war is all hell but this is still a game.

Germans gonna maneuver their forces for a massed charge through barbed wire and into the guns in the middle of the map, because that's what's required by their contract.

Remember when back during Grey's LP the Entente thread started figuring out what the Germans were getting up to by checking the reply counter of their thread? That was fun times.

More like "using this as a convenient excuse for really accurate 'guesses'".

I don't get how you could divine the enemy's movements out of increased thread activity, how would that even work?

You read posting counts of the enemy thread, then you read the enemy thread, then you claim to understand what people are planning based on your posting count analysis.
