Fair call! bart Warfare 1917 is a big inspiration and I'm not hiding it. I love that side-on trench tug-of-war and wanted to see how far it could go. Everything in Iron & Mud is made from scratch though: the art, the sound and the code. I've also added a lot the original never had: a full German campaign with historical battles, medics who drag the wounded back, covering fire that pins defenders while your bombers close in, trenches with fire bays and traverses, night raids under flares, gas that drifts with the wind, and an enemy commander who learns how you play.

If there's something you'd like it to do differently from the original, I'd really like to hear it!
