I tapped into the Yahoo Search this morning looking for info on Verdun. Got the usual sterling collection of WWI photos, with one great surprise this time: screen shots in WOFF were included! (Hellshade and Creaghorn, specifically, were mentioned in the dispatches) I find it very cool that our screenies stand shoulder-to-shoulder with photos taken at the time to illustrate what it was really like. (Perhaps the Yahoo AI can't tell whether these were taken in 1916, or not.) All that historical research on the part of the Devs is paying off?


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.

Sweet. Can you make us a link to the photos to see which ones were included?

Here y' go.

When you scroll to the bottom, there's "Show More Images" button. I clicked it three or four times and there were still more WOFF pics. Who knows how many more?
