@ Vami IV: Greetings Vami, the original version was in BritEng not AmEng. I've put back most of your CE minus a few bits here and there (I may have overlooked a few wikilinks) and put a BritEng banner on for information. Happy to discuss, Regards Keith-264 ( talk) 15:00, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
What plan do we devise for working on this article simultaneously? I'm using the 2014 issue of Guns of August (Tuchman), which I checked out from my local library. – Vami _IV✠ 21:36, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

In his book Germany's Defeat in the First World War The Lost Battles and Reckless Gambles That Brought Down the Second Reich
He said that The battle of the Ardennes raged for two days. The French lost over 26,000 men and the Germans lost nearly 38,000 in the course of two days.
I am curious about why the numbers of losses were so different.
