There was an additional factor in there beyond the expectations of battle style.Rate of manufacturing of ammo. If they had supplied the guns at the same level
as they did at end of the war, they would have run out of bullets after a few hours.
Moreover, even if they did have the bullets, in supply, they were still moving it
to the front on fucking ox carts and donkeys. Train lines and roads favored the
Germans and they had a much easier time resupplying their units. But they too
had a hard time keeping up. Many of the lulls in that war were due to this alone.
