In my battle, the trenches were a lot closer than at Somme and Verdun. Also, I mention the artillery being moved just ahead of the advancing troops, which did provide for breakthroughs otl.

As for Germany and others, Germany tried to keep the alliance together (a war among allies is never good). But ultimately failed to do so, and so let Italy and Austria duke it out to see who would come out on top, and show themselves the stronger ally. Meanwhile, the Entente members would sit back and enjoy the view as they watched the Triple Alliance members fight amongst themselves, remember, all three of them were their rivals prior to WWI.
