FOTW; Sinai Dessert, WW1
After a group of Bedouin raiders ambush your supply train, your are left injured and forgotten in the Arabian Desert, surrounded by Arab fighters and dead soldiers. It’s up to you to fight to the death, escape into the desert, or ‘defect’ and get proper medical care and maybe not die. The whole of the Middle Eastern Theater involved three major nations The United Kingdom, The Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire (Sorry France). The estimated number of military casualties for the whole theater is 2.81 million. The Civilian casualties ran much higher at 5.5 million, 2.275 million were murdered by Ottoman Forces (Mostly the Armenian Genocide, but Greeks and Assyrians too), 1.2 million at the hands of Russian Troops and Armenian auxiliaries. Oh, and Iran had a famine and disease outbreak killing 2 million. The famine was caused by conditions of the War and bad luck, and occupation by all sides. *By the end of the war, Ottoman medical services weren’t very good compared to the British’s medical services and thus resulted in many deaths simply because they couldn’t treat them properly. **btw, I'm honoured that near four hundred people have played this. It is an immense honor and something i never expected to happen. Thank you, thank you all!** July 6th update: AID for some reason deleted my tags (?) Also never noticed I accidentally repeated the same footnote twice, lol.
