    This is looking like an actually WW1 assault… I’m honestly just surprised they weren’t instantly mowed down once they were all in the open, can’t really tell why?

    It’s probably only a matter of time before we see some massive casualty events when these kind of troops are caught out by heavy weapons in the open. It’s honestly kind of surprising that they don’t even seemed to have been told by the Russians that massing troops like this is a bad idea- at least the Russians have gotten to the point of sending “meat waves” that are 5-10 man at a time, so that entire platoons aren’t wiped out by a single shell.

      I’d wager this “assault” was no more than moving across open ground relatively uncontested, just sweeping it clean and taking control.

      They don’t seem terribly concerned
