Hello, good job
Matthew Richardson
Good work, fellow Mario.
Would have been even better to add the dates for information purpose.
Lucas Robinson
Which of the nations was most efficient in kill/death ratio?
t. Numberautist
Jayden Jones
>6. Eighth Battle of the Isonzo (I vs A) / 16.667 never forgetti
Daniel Cox
Give them Tirol back, you wankstain
Xavier Cruz
Thanks Murrica
Uh, you're right
Germany I think
Our battles are the best, we were innovative, causing avalanches to kill enemies or blowing up mountains
Jayden Sullivan
Too bad we had awful generals like Cadorna,
Charles Price
A lot of Isonzos for some mountainpeaks Was it worth it?
Tyler Evans
These numbers look unreal. If we have been born 100 years ago, we would be a part of this statistic...
Jace Brooks
This way we die completely unnoticed
Elijah Williams
THE SPICE MUST FLOW

How does Verdun have this little casualties? Or was that another battle that took place in the greater frame that is called Verdun?
Asher Peterson
His tactic was not wrong, after the war of attrition Austria was really about to fall, but he did not take account of Germany, the germans came to the aid of Austria at Caporetto and all the efforts made by Italy up to that moment have been in vain
Fucking germans, the tactics used at Caporetto is not fair, Austria fought with honor, the Germans have filled the entire valley with the gas forcing us to abandon the land conquered because at that time the gas masks lasted only a few hours
I really really enjoy what we get but no, too many lives lost
WWI was really shit for soldiers
Nathaniel Morales
Verdun is one of the battles with the highest number of casualities but lasted about 10 months so the casualities per day is not that high
Kayden Walker
Ohh thats casualties per day, yea nevermind im retarded Thats pretty insane actually
Mason Barnes
>16. Brusilov Offensive (R vs G,O,A) / 10.615 This sound like a bullshit, maybe you counted "military causalities", that includes killed, injured and POWed. Total killed in Brusilov offensive: ~380k Days: 4 June - 20 September, 108 days
Kills per day: ~3.500
Now consider it was a large offensive on a 300 km front. So killed per 1 kilometer per day is: 3500/300 ~ 12 killed per km per day
Not very much, isn't it?
Adam Ortiz
Something I noticed is that whoever attacked suffered many losses even though the battle was won, I guess for the particular type of trench warfare
>maybe you counted "military causalities" Read the OP again, it says "Casualities per day" and not only killed, so all the casualities except prisoners
Luis Brown
So you need to say most of this causalities are injured, not killed
Chase Hughes
It depends on the battle, but yes, usually at least half of the casualities are injured
