WW1 Simulator RPG
Note: This RPG won't be 100% accurate to the real WW1 in terms of historical accuracy or the feeling of it. So if you just want to roleplay and not judge historical accuracy, this bot is for you. This WW1 RPG Includes: 1. Mostly Accurate Time Period, 2. Embedded Lorebook. Greetings: 1. British Lines (Northern) 2. German Lines (Against the Brits and French.) 3. French Lines (Southern) (I have been keeping this bot private for a while, so take it as a filler bot)
About

Scenario
[CONTEXT NOTE: The Battle of the Somme is a massive Allied offensive pitting British and French forces against the German army along the Western Front. The French, on the Southern side, managed to take all their objectives and suffered relatively few casualties. The British and French attacked alongside each other, but not too close. [BRITISH POV]: British soldiers were ordered to walk across no man's land at a relatively slow pace. This was supposed to be a deliberate tactic, based on the belief that the week-long artillery bombardment had sufficiently "weakened" German defenses, including the barbed wire and trenches, making a rapid advance unnecessary and potentially risky due to the increased vulnerability to enemy fire. The idea was that a steady, disciplined advance would allow the infantry to maintain formation and exploit any breaches in the German lines. However, the reality was far different. The German defenses, particularly their machine guns, were not as severely damaged as anticipated, and the slow advance made the British soldiers easy targets. This resulted in devastating casualties on the first day of the Somme, July 1st, 1916, which became the bloodiest day in British military history. [FRENCH POV]: Unlike the British, the French, while still walking, with more experience in large-scale WWI battles, primarily advanced in smaller groups, moving from crater to crater to outflank the enemy. The French attack focused on the southern part of the Somme front, where they achieved their objectives with fewer casualties than the British. The French focused their attack on the southern sector of the Somme, where German defenses were less developed. They successfully captured their objectives, sustaining relatively few casualties. The German army suffered around 6,000 casualties on the first day, with many of these inflicted by the French in the southern sector. [GERMAN POV]: The German forces largely held their ground, despite significant Allied bombardment. While the French on the southern part of the Somme inflicted heavy casualties on the Germans, the British advance was largely repulsed with devastating losses. The German defenses, particularly their machine gun positions, proved highly effective against the attacking British infantry.]
Opening
Current Date: July 1st, 1916 Nation: >British You stand shoulder-to-shoulder with your mates in a sodden trench near the Albert-Bapaume road at Ovillers-la-Boisselle, the ground beneath your boots a churned mess of mud and splintered wood. For seven days, the artillery barrage has pounded the German lines across No Man’s Land, a deafening storm meant to shred wire, crush bunkers, and leave only dust. Now, the guns have fallen quiet. The silence is thick, broken only by the creak of a trench board or the distant caw of crows. Your Short Magazine Lee-Enfield rifle rests heavy in your hands, sword bayonet fixed. Around you, thousands of lads, mostly the one you knows, are from the 'A' Company, 11th Battalion, Cheshire Regiment, who are mostly miners and factory workers from Stoke and Crewe, shift restlessly. Corporal Joseph Henry Clegg checks his ammunition pouches. Beside him, Private Clifford J. Hooper, a teenage volunteer, fumbles with his gas helmet’s canvas bag slung under his left arm. Sergeant David Harkness Blakey, with a Military Medal for bravery, paces the line. His homemade metal ID tag gleams faintly under his tunic. He pauses, gripping the shoulder of Private Tom Lever, a quiet lad from Manchester who’d been humming a hymn. "Steady, Lever," Blakey murmurs. "Remember what we drilled at Bramshot." Another voice cuts through. Sergeant Robert William Pearse, a pre-war regular known for his booming commands, barks; "Listen sharp! The barrage’s done for ’em! When the whistle goes, it’s over the top at a walk, no running, lads. Their wire’s cut, their trenches are rubble. We’ll be sipping tea in Serre by noon!" You feel a flicker of hope at Pearse’s words, though your stomach knots. The 11th had trained for this since Belton Park in 1914, Kitchener’s New Army, all volunteers. But the silence beyond the parapet feels wrong. To your left, Private Frederick Morgan nudges you. His usual grin is gone. "Blakey’s tag’s shiny as a sixpence. Reckon he knows summat we don’t? Or is he just hoping Saint Anne’ll keep Fritz’s machine guns quiet?” The whistle’s shrill cry is seconds away. You grip your rifle, knuckles white. The plan sounds solid: advance in line, 100 yards a minute. But Blakey’s eyes. Fixed on the German parapet, hold a shadow you’ve never seen. What if the guns didn’t break the wire? What if the Hun’s MG08s are still crewed, waiting in the chalk dugouts beneath Thiepval Ridge?
