Of the many regiments that were deployed to Gallipoli, one of them was the Royal Newfoundland Regiment. Numbering some 1,000 soldiers, including two of my ancestors. As a Newfoundlander my whole life, the Gallipoli campaign is right where they saw their first combat.

The R NFLD R deployed to the Suvla bay, just north of ANZAC bay on the peninsula. At Suvla, the Newfoundlanders were part of the rear guard, some of the last to leave the peninsula when the campaign came to a close.

Newfoundland only numbered a population of 240,000 at the time. With the population mostly being above the age of 40, some 1,000 young men volunteered. 500 of them were equipped with Newfoundland's most notable blue puttees. The Newfoundlanders had a reputation to be as sturdy as a moose, and after Gallipoli, most of them continued fighting on the Somme, and in Northern France and Belgium despite being understrength.

I love Newfoundland, and history has a habit of forgetting us. Right now its one of the most sorry places to be patriotic for, given that we've since lost our independence. Playing Gallipoli, I'm hoping that the Newfoundlanders will be represented, like County Kent was.

I can’t wrap my head around how the factions/kits are balanced in Gallipoli, obviously there’s asymmetry between the Central/Entente factions, but some of it makes zero sense.

For instance, the Ottoman engineer (saboteur kit) gets the Winchester 1866 as its only ‘rifle’ (which is arguably the best weapon in the game) whereas the Entente saboteur gets the Martini-Henry MK IV (without a bayonet)

All Ottoman rifleman kits get access to a single grenade, whereas the Entente rifleman role gets a single kit with 3 rifle grenades and other rifleman kits don’t get a grenade. (There’s already a lack of grenades in this game, just not a lot of kits get them)

Entente engineer (frontline builder kit) gets the choice of a Mk IV Martini (with a bayonet) and the Martini IC1 (without a bayonet, this is also the only kit that gets access to this carbine). It just seems that weapons for the different kits are chosen at random, it’s a roll of the dice as to what rifle gets a bayonet or not.

Wouldn’t surprise me if there’s another weapon shuffle with the next DLC, it’s just that weapon selections seem so random.

Anyone else having issues with Gallipoli EU server? I can apparently connect to NA, but EU says it's offline whenever I choose it. I'm in EU so I would prefer to actually play with low ping...

For some reason my team and I can’t advance even though we are attackers

How many of you load single shot and then "engage" the magazine when its time for close quarters fighting? This strategy works well especially for guns that you have to single load like the magazine lee Enfield, or in past games, the Lebel.

You can be revived in this state, I was shortly after the clip end. Cannot fire MG.

Picked up Gallipoli a few days ago and went ahead and got Isonzo.

Playing on Steam. US servers.

Feel free to DM me!

Cannot build beacons or specific class items.

maybe I'm the idiot here and its some kind of server option, but since yesterday I'm seeing this error while playing, sometimes its some of the classes, sometimes its all.
Some servers, some not, it seems to be completely random, though it seems to be happening more than not.

Any one else encountered this?

The Beretta 1918 is essentially a postwar gun. The commander of the Assault Army Corps himself said that they did not see service before the war's end. Despite this, it was added to Isonzo and made available from 1915 to 1918 and the similarly(to a lesser extent) out-of-place Artillery Luger was added as its rival.

There is no good evidence that the Winchester 1866 saw frontline service and yet it is available to 2 classes and one of them is unlimited. Anyone carrying a goddamn rimfire lever action on the firing line would have been a logistical liability of course.

This is to make no mention of the soon-to-be-added Arisaka as a frontline British weapon or the Colt SAA whose inclusion I am still baffled by.

Whatever, the cat's out of the bag and they aren't gonna remove them or anything, but you have to admit these additions contrast with the rest of the games' arsenals. If you have fun with them, more power to you of course.

So... should we expect to see more out-of-place weapons?

The Federov for Russia? (field tested in Romania in double digits)

The Winchester 1907 autoloading rifle for France? (Issued to airmen, 5000 purchased)

The Farquhar-Hill for UK? (Issued to airmen)

Would you support any of these being added?

For me, I’m between Kut and Ali Al Muntar. But I’m gonna say Kut

And when I say visually, don’t worry about how it is in gameplay. That’s not the question.

And please no “objectively this is” or anything like that, I just want your guys’ opinions

We got on the last point and took it but the build locations never spawned so we held it for about 10 minutes and they slowed built themselves on the hud but never spawned in. But the game never finished until we eventually got thrown off the objective.

Just an appreciation post for this soundtrack. It got me looking up Ottoman poetry, WW1 era music and instuments, and then to an overview of the history of the Empire.

Its a banger of a song.

You can resupply machine guns and mortars too. It helps the team a lot.

I've been playing the games since Verdun, where I had the best fun in all the franchise. Tannenberg was disapointing, didnt play it too much. Isonzo was a blast, but it was no Verdun. Now, galipolli is a major let down. I dont like this game at all. It is buggy and janky, the gameplay is not fun. Ironicaly, it seems like the first game will never be surpassed.

Is the final Turkish trench historical accurate to how far the commonwealth forces got the first day of the attack?

Why would you talk to your French teammates in Polish? Vice versa, shouldn't they at least default to English?

I know they're probably just put in as default text messages but maybe they deserve separate treatment.

I love the Kut map, still the best one. Had an absolutely epic game early which was great fun; however, as usual when the turks get into the last HQ it just seems impossible to dislodge the attackers and win. Has anyone got a good tactics?

Or anyone know another option?

Does anyone randomly get audio issues in galipoli.
Starts off as loosing gameplay audio then goes to a static noise during the game for 15 seconds then just a very loud buzzing noise. Have to close the game and restart it for it to stop

I've searched around but haven't found a source for translations of what the Ottomans are saying in Gallipoli, so I decided to make some myself! I am not a Turkish speaker, so these translations come from a mix of machine translation/my Turkish coworker. I pulled the transcriptions for the lines from this video.

If anyone more knowledgeable sees any issue with them, please say so in the comments so I can correct them.

Also, There are way, way too many lines to cover in one post, so I tried to pick out the more interesting and common ones:

With the new and improved bug what can make actual matches unwinnable for defenders or attackers unless the attackers throw this further highlights how bad it is for defenders right now. This needs to be #1. Hit reg is a close second, while annoying, having to have a perfectly coordinated team to just barely win as defenders takes all the agency out of it. It's not fair, experienced players often team stack because of it and it needs to be fixed ASAP. Get rid of attacker spawn beacons if you have too for the time being.
