Could 100 Marines Survive WW1 Trench Warfare?

Could 100 modern US Marines survive WW1? We drop a full Marine company onto the Western Front in October 1917, with M4s, thermal optics, ceramic plates, two M240s, and just 210 rounds per man. There's no air support, no resupply, and an army that outnumbers them a hundred to one. The scenario runs chapter by chapter through four survival tiers, starting with German stormtroopers rushing through wire and fog into modern suppressive fire. Then mustard gas arrives in yellow-cross shells: a blister agent that goes around the M50 mask, with no antidote and no spare filters coming. Next is the artillery that caused most of this war's battle casualties, fired by guns the Marines can't answer. Last are the Eingreif counterattack divisions that turn the fight into a logistics problem no gear can solve. It's a what-if built on real WWI trench warfare history, the Passchendaele mud included, and it tests whether modern soldiers can outlast a war that ran on shells, not skill.
