V. Illych L. posted:this latest round of reprisals has actually been reported upon in mainstream western news sources, though in quite sanitised terms. i was honestly taken a little aback at that, and it may have spooked the ukrainian leadership if it spooks them into cutting back on reprisals on civilians I will honestly say that for once Western media did a material good Tankbuster posted:Because paradox made the map moddable? This triggers my madeleine cookie for when they first made the EU2 map moddable as (for the time) enormously unwieldy photoshop files and a bunch of us in a whatever Total Conversion mod spent ages arguing about the smallest HRE state to warrant inclusion... I recall being very proud of the compromises I offered in matching political province boundaries with geographic features and river lines But I'll shut up about this topic. I need to catch up with the proper strategy game thread anyway

Weka posted:It was there. Remember these things were originally built in the 90s. They are trying to up production from 2k to 4k annually.  Wow so there are, like, charitably, a dozen people in an office park somewhere assembling 4 a day? Like two container loads a year probably. And then 50 more people working in middle management marketing and whatnot. But like a dozen people are globally responsible for assembling these things. Volume is so low they probably put in a single 1000 unit order to two suppliers just in case one of them goes out of business. And yeah guys accepting 1000 unit orders taken a year in advance probably can't double their output because I bet in a lot of cases they're running this out of their garage

PoontifexMacksimus posted:A question for Frosted Flake, would you recommend any one volume history of land artillery during the 19th century, developments from Waterloo to Ypres. Hopefully something not just covering just one country? Commandante Turtle Watch here, my cadets often ask me the same question and I always recommend His Rock Hard Rhythm by Brigadier General Flora Dare Josie Kell, OBE  “In her groundbreaking work on orcish siege and artillery tactics from the late Second Age (~1600 S.A.) to today she shows detailed and granular details of barrel lengths, widths, as well as the weight and timing of the heavy ordnance loads common in the punishing big gun onslaught of the orcish hordes. Using actual logistics schema recorded in the original orcish on discovered manflesh manuscripts, weights of fire, barrage timings and extensive nomographs reveal the underlying strategies and tactics of their historical battles that modern Warchiefs still use in modified forms today”

like 200 Danes joined the Allies and the government didn’t go into exile or really support the Allied cause but they sure did make a movie about it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kao3t0NBMU iirc the only action against the Germans by the Danes after 1940 was in 1945 when the Soviets were about to liberate some islands so they hurriedly joined the war with like 3 days to go

western good-will is an insanely important strategic asset for the ukrainians to be maintained at almost any cost, though, so i really do think that they'll try to keep reprisal stories as far out of the headlines as possible - even fans can only rationalise this stuff so many times before the saintly image starts falling apart, and at that point it's a problem. is it a big problem? who knows, imo not unless the economic situation among sponsor countries continues to deteriorate
