▶

The first tank battle in history took place in the Battle of the Avre, which began 100 years ago today. German troops successfully attacked Villers-Bretonneux, with their ultimate goal being to secure ground from which they could use artillery to devastate the town of Amiens and the strategic railway junction there. However, a surprise counterattack by Australian and British troops entirely recaptured Villers-Bretonneux - this also marked the end of the German March Offensive. But what about that tank battle? Many of you probably know the details, but as a quick summary three British tanks met and engaged three German A7Vs. Two of the British tanks were only armed with machine guns, so weren’t able to decisively damage the A7Vs. They were damaged and had to fall back. The third British tank was armed with 6 pounder guns, which enabled it to knock out one of the A7Vs and then force the others to withdraw.
It's easy to imagine that a realistic video-game take on WW1 tanks might not be as thrilling as people would like. Interesting perhaps, but low speeds, limited sight lines, and sometimes mismatched weaponry would make it more of a curiosity than an enjoyable experience for many players. But perhaps you disagree?

Tannenberg is the latest entry in the 1914-1918 WW1 Game Series that started with WW1 FPS Verdun, expanding the focus to encompass the Eastern Front. Warfare on the border of the Russian Empire offers a fresh experience for new and veteran players alike, with new squads and weapons, open maps that give players tactical freedom, and a whole new 64 player game mode!

This historical game takes place across the lakes, forests, and snowy plains of the Eastern Front - it was inspired by the Battle of Tannenberg in 1914 where the Russian Second Army was dealt a heavy blow by the Germans. Tannenberg offers a range of game modes - including the exciting new mode reflecting the different nature of war on the Eastern Front - and a wealth of historical detail: realistic WW1 weaponry, authentic uniforms, horrendous gore, and maps based on real battlefields, this time in the forests, plains and mountains along the border between the Russian Empire and the Central Powers.

Tannenberg key features include:

Realistic World War 1 gameplay
Tactical squad-based FPS
Warfare on the Eastern Front
Majestic backdrops and map detail
Variety of game modes for player counts of up to 64
