* As you know, whenever an operation is finished, the narrator gives insight of the result of the operation, even [[AlternateHistory going into detail of what might have happened if the other side won]]. One AlternateHistory opportunity I think they should have prepared for, however, is for the ''Kaiserschlacht'' campaign. The opportunity is not the Germans managing to take Amiens, but rather the possibility of the British managing to stop the Germans at St. Quentin Scar.

***There's also a difference between holding the magazine and the magazine well, like the player characters are in-game. Holding the magazine itself increases the likelihood of a jam, but holding the magazine well doesn't, since it's a solid part of the receiver that isn't as prone to warping or bending.

** Now, let's assume that the British manage to hold off all the German battalions at St. Quentin Scar. That most likely means that the British lines aren't breached, and the Kaiserschlacht campaign [[EpicFail fails even more so than it did in real life]], with the Germans not only taking just as many casualties as they did in real life (if not [[CurbStompBattle potentially taking even more, while inversely inflicting fewer Allied casualties]]), but also failing to even reach Amiens. Surely that would change history just as much as a full blown German victory.
*** TL;DR - The British holding the line at St. Quentin turns the Kaiserschlacht campaign from a decisive German defeat into a full-blown CurbStompBattle in Allied favor.
