Indeed...WW1...Yikes.

19th century tactics, 20th century weapons!
19th Century monarchs, 20th century revolutionaries!
19th century empires, 20th century politics!
Trench warfare, poison gas, machines guns, horses, submarine warfare, , mules, aeroplanes, bayonets charges, barbed wire, and TANKS!

A LOT of Whiskey required.
