Thanks for the link, its humbling stuff. Its got me thinking about gameplay too.

Of the 1.5m total casualties in the four-month campaign, 420,000 British soldiers were killed, wounded or missing having gained just two miles - a loss of two men per centimetre.

That is so sad.

And then there's 'Crossing the Line', a short film by Peter Jackson shot on the super hi-rex digital film camera, RED. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpTHFVBlm_A

Never seen the full 15 minute version though... and would love to. Love that teddy bear at the end of the trailer! XD

It's a brilliant film, to be honest. One of these days I really should whip together an 'Ace of Spades- The Movie' trailer using clips from that film...

There's also a pretty recent movie that is rather good called 'Beneath Hill 60' that I highly recommend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYOpCJCl5L4

Nice find. Now I have realized how much AoS really is realistic.
