Although airplanes were technologically crude, they offered a psychological advantage. The stealth and speed of German submarines gave Germany a considerable advantage in its dominance of the North Sea.
Guns mounted on ships were able to strike targets up to twenty miles inland. Sea and airborne weapons made killing from a distance more effective as well. "French, British, and German Types of Battle Tanks." War of the Nations, 167.
The advent of chemical warfare added to the soldier's perils. The British introduced tanks in 1916 they were used with airplanes and artillery to advance the front. This weapon, along with barbed wire and mines, made movement across open land both difficult and dangerous. World War I popularized the use of the machine gun-capable of bringing down row after row of soldiers from a distance on the battlefield. Infantry warfare had depended upon hand-to-hand combat. "Huge siege guns of the Central Powers used in the smashing of forts." War of the Nations, 110. Although considered a father of science fiction, Wells was observing something all too real-technology had changed the face of combat in World War I and ultimately accounted for an unprecedented loss of human life. Wells, "Civilization at the Breaking Point," New York Times, May 27, 1915, 2). Wells lamented the fate of humanity at the hands of "man's increasing power of destruction" (H.

He's now my highest ranked soldier and I think he's earned a spot on my A-team, anyone else have any similar stories?īuild: Gave him an assault rifle, because I want him to do more shooting in general. He went on two missions and absolutely did work, just carrying the missions and proving to make an excellent tank and crowd control/support unit. Wasn't planning on using him, but ended up needing a few ragtag groups to do easy missions, and he made sense to stick in those groups. However, in my most recent campaign, I got a mid-level technical in a mission, with low defense, high dodge, high HP, and solid aim. I loved the technical class at the very beginning (that rocket is nuts early game) and then quickly realized that they weren't as useful as my other soldiers, and they were eventually were relegated to the barracks and havens.
