What if the level of radio technology was at the 1925 level in 1914?
How would the war have played out if semi-reliable communication could be achieved during the war? This means that radio communication was bulky, but still small enough to be man-portable and could be carried into the attack. The first thing I can think of would be far greater artillery/infantry coordination with corresponding effect in damage. Not only that, but commanders would have greater control of battle and advances would not need to be stopped to wait for runners.
But does it mean that war will end quicker or does the defense become even stronger if their link with the rear cannot be cut by heavy shelling?
