The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

What was worse? Somme or Verdun

How would you even want to measure that? What do you mean by worse? How can the fates, the death, the suffering of hundredthousands be measured? What insight could we gain by labeling one or the other worse than the other?

I can't say which was worse because in both cases; a good element of battle tactics employed by the comanders were first developed by the Roman Army nearly 2000 years earlier! Roman battle tactics were becoming outdated by the American Civial War and it was only after WW1, did battle tactics begin to change to meet the demands given by the development of Light Mchins Guns.

You mean all the Somme battles combined, or are you talking about a particular battle in the Somme campaign? I don't know about bloodiest, but my vote for the most horrifying was the Third Yrpes, Paschendeal. I also hear Stalingrad was pretty wretched.
