- of course they almost everytime had artillery preparation (?) before launching an attack (sometimes they did not bec of the surprise factor)

- fortifications (fortresses, bunkers, trenches) in ww1 were already very sophisticated so that even massive artillery attacks did not have too much effect
Do you know any more trench assaulting tactics they used? Just curious...
