Siege of Przemysl 1914
In the summer of 1914, the Third Russian Army advanced on Przemysl and began their siege on the fortresses protecting the city not long after. The battles are known for their seemingly unending barrages of artillery fire. Life in Przemysl during these attacks could be a horror story on its own with diseases like syphilis and gonorrhea bringing in new patients daily. Despite these circumstances, both Austrian Hungarians and Russians lost significant numbers during these battles.

Tannenberg developer Jos sat down with historical professor Alexander Watson to go into detail about the Siege itself, what exactly happened and how it impacted the Eastern Front of World War I. Check it out on our YouTube channel!

New seasonal event, new special medals, new rules!
As with our previous seasonal events, all fallen soldiers from each faction will be tracked throughout this campaign! However, we made a big change that will affect the number of kills. This time, whenever a fight only involves bots, this will not count towards the faction total of the campaign. Only when a player is involved with a kill or is being killed, it will count. It is not required to serve one side during the entire campaign. But that still remains the question, are you Team Central Powers or Team Entente?
The amount of kills earned to each faction can be seen on the main menu. You can earn a
special medal during this event. All you have to do is to participate in the battles of Tannenberg to earn one! You have until
November 2nd to do so!
There is a way to upgrade your special medal as well, but more on that in a bit...
Patching the front
Along with the campaign, the latest update for Tannenberg also fixed a few minor issues. These changes are applicable to version 314.22671
- Changed artilley arc calculation to include target height artillery may be slightly more precise as a result
- A fix for AI being stuck in farmhouses in map Carpathians
- Fixed an issue that would cause Campaigns to appear without them being active
- Fixed first-person melee animation on Sabre 1861 and Shaska swords
- Fixed campaign medals potentially being awarded during 'coming soon' time
- Fixed a bug that let LMG players teleport across the map
- Fixed jitters on MLE1892
- Added trunctation on very long player names, although this shouldn't be very noticeable on PC
- Campaigns After-Action Report now displays separate casualty stats for match and campaign totals
- Fixed first-person melee animation for swords
- Fixed motion impacting bullet impact effects
If you have any feedback, be sure to let us know through the Steam community discussion boards!
The Western Front and Halloween
The Bloody Autumn seasonal event is also active on the Western Front! The campaign in Verdun is based on the First Battle of Ypres. Participating on both fronts will earn you
upgraded special medals, so make sure you are equipped for both the Siege of Przemysl nd the Battle of Ypres!
Last but not least, we wanted to share this amazing screenshot ReallyRiles55 on the WW1 Game Series subreddit, who found something that might remind you of a spooky event
