Well it has been almost 2 years now. I don't really see a problem with it, however i feel that the content of the game should be kept as tasteful as possible I.E not having a diving competiton involving twists and somersaults.

I don't think 2 years is long enough. I still have the images of people throwing themselves out of windows in sheer desperation. Its something that I don't think I will ever forget and its definitley something that I wouldn't want to play through. Can you honestly say you would purchase it?

I do have Broadband but I won't be getting it. Call me a boring barstuard and all but I really am against something so close after the event. The whole purpose of a game is to enjoy it. Knowing the suffering and heart ache that the families went though/still go through today would just be a complete turn off.

The 15 and 16 year olds were forced to fight. It would be idiotic to think that they wanted to run out blindly from a trench only to be gunned down within seconds.

Bull. Far as I'm concerned iof it points a gun in the direction of our troops it's a target. It's like this 14 year old taken out when they got Saddam's son's, he was the last one firing at the Americans yet there's whining liberals moaning a 14 year old was killed. You have a gun, you are a target.

You stupid mong!
Allied forces were forced into the wars to stop Germany from making the world a one man race. The majority of German citizens and British/Ameican/Australlian troops didn't want a war. When the 16 year age group was called do you honestly think they deserved to be shot dead? They were cannon fodder from the word go.
The fanatics you read about have been brought up in that atmosphere and they don't know any better. That doesn't make killing him any easier ut it had to be done. I am not talking about fanatical imbaseals who want to follow in their fathers foot steps. I was talking about the Allied troops who were called at the ages of 15 and 16 to fight a war they didn't have full information on. Propaganda posters about fighting for your country were all they went on as they weren't aware of theroies like "Just war" and the like.
If a fanatical 14yr old started offloading rounds with the intent to kill then I am all for lethal action. However during the 1st and 2nd world war they British troops didn't have a say in the matter and the majority of them left home to be placed as human shileds. Wonder how you would like being called up to war having to leave everything behind knowing you were going to die. Back then they didn't have a choice in the matter and they were forced to go to battle. If you think that should be the case then you are either very cold hearted or you have watched too much TV.

Those 15 and 16 year olds lied about their age to get into the army - they did it because they wanted to and did, therefore, have a choice in the matter.
You are correct about the propaganda, though. The British nation was made to believe by the Government that it is commendable to fight for your country - and honourable to die for it. While very true, this message was enforced to such an extent that people joined the army in droves.
Nevertheless, no-one was 'forced'. There was, most certainly, a choice.

Those who didn't fight were branded cowards and sent to jail. All the preasures surrounding them from friends, Propaganda posters and the like all paid its toll. They went in fighting blind as they didn't even imagine to think what war would be like.
