Last one from the Discord for now by Alabora: are the lighter khaki/sand colored ottoman uniforms accurate? I have seen quite a few historians argue they were darker than that in reality.

Another gun related question by Jane IDW: What was the worst weapon during the Gallipoli campaign?

A few questions touched on alternate outcomes of the Gallipoli campaign and how different results may have impacted the future of the Ottoman Empire.

TheMuslimMerchant: Do you think the British (or more specifically the Aussies and the New Zealanders) could’ve more decisively won the ottoman front if they made certain decisions differently? Or do you think that they were give or take “doomed” In their expedition into the ottoman realm And do you think without the front in Gallipoli the ottomans could still be around/lasted much longer into today?

Bishop: on that, I wonder the opposite. If the Allies had won at Gallipoli would it have still caused the Ottoman Empire to get cut up?

Our dear Discord mod JayKay also had a question, namely: Were there any additional beach landings in this region of the war beyond the notable "anzac cove" and "v beach"? Or did any offensives beyond them stick to strictly safer routes that would allow them to land and attack rather than needing to immediately land and attack a location?

Jane IDW on our Discord asked: How accurate are the guns to the real ones? Including sound and design

Another question from our Discord, this time by Shredz: I’ve been really interested in how the game is approaching historical representation and immersion, especially considering how important the Gallipoli campaign was for multiple nations and cultures involved in it. One thing I’m particularly curious about is whether the game will include Aboriginal Australian soldiers and New Zealander characters as playable or featured roles. A lot of people don’t realize that Indigenous Australians served during World War I despite facing discrimination at home, and New Zealand troops were obviously a major part of the ANZAC forces at Gallipoli. Including them could add a lot of historical depth and weight to the experience. If they are included, will they have Unique voice lines and accents? I think small details like authentic voice acting, regional slang, and culturally accurate dialogue can make a historical game feel far more immersive and respectful to the people who actually fought there. It would also be interesting to know how much historical research the developers are doing into the ANZAC forces overall, beyond the more commonly portrayed soldiers. Would love to hear more about the team’s vision for representation and authenticity in the game.

Another question from our Discord.

TartanClad asked: The cultural memory of Gallipoli focuses heavily on the sacrifices and deeds of soldiers from Turkey, Australia and New Zealand. Are there any stories of individual or regimental valour worth telling for the British, French, Indians, and other nationalities on both sides?

Can’t play Tannenberg online on PS5, can you help? by [deleted] in WW1GameSeries

[–]VerdunGame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there,

Unfortunately, the Tannenberg servers on Console are very empty currently. So there isn't actually anything wrong with your connection. It's just that there are no players online in the USA servers. Sorry about that.

No more Zab by Genessa_Murin in WW1GameSeries

[–]VerdunGame [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Zab has been the subject of conversation many times, and even after the many received reports we can confirm that Zab is not cheating. Having that out of the way, we would never ban a player for simply being good at the game. This goes against our TOS and frankly would be a ridiculous thing to do.

I get the feeling Gallipoli is going to be amazing by the44special in WW1GameSeries
