GlassElephant posted:Launching continuous assaults on one of my enemies most heavily fortified positions does not seem like the most efficient way to bleed them. Especially since they don't have the overwhelming advantage in artillery any more. The NYTimes has a recent article about the battle: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/27/world/europe/ukraine-war-bakhmut.html the issue is that most mainstream western news sources have reduced themselves to base propaganda and so are effectively as useful as the wagner guy for gauging what is actually going on

Isn't that also another caliber of ammunition to supply adding to the already massive clusterfuck their supply chain must be with the hodgepodge of different weapon system?

Ardennes posted:I guess the big deal more than strategic differences is that the Russians are shifting the narratives a bit from what they were 2 weeks ago. Yet, narrative moment flip flops all the time. To me it looks like the Russian side is still throwing auxilaries at Ukrainians while shepherding the army. All the fighting right now is around DLNR, and it's been going for months non stop.

Weka posted:Very expensive, like a billion dollars a battery and 3 million a missile, and it would give the Russians the opportunity to show it's not as good as America would like people to think. It costs a several times less than what you are quoting. There are generations out there ranging from ancient (Greece) to being upgraded right now with new stuff (US and a few others). I bet Ukraine won’t get Patriot (or if they ever do, it’s a year or years away) due to logistical and train-up concerns. Just a beast to maintain, a whole new drill to learn to move it around so it is more survivable, other issues.

They already needed 7.62x51 for all the pintel mounted FN MAG and MG3 machine guns on their collection of weird French/Australian/whatever armored cars. One of the pictures early in the war of the reddit brigade had a bunch of FNCs in it, but who the in the world other than like Indonesia (?) even adopted that piece of crap? No surprise no one can find any.

... why not aim to strengthen relations with Russia to avoid a war if you don't want it? what is the point of strengthening relations with your "friends" who will just let you bleed to death while not providing any real help when the time comes the same as they are doing to Ukraine. I feel like i'm taking crazy pills

Any parley with the orcs will be brief (no more than a handful of chances to cajole, bluff or bully them) and somewhat one-sided, as the orcs will issue nothing but demands and threats. At this point, any hostile action on the PCs’ party, including moving closer than 30 feet for any reason, will end the parley immediately and initiate combat. But a smooth talker may be able to stave off an attack by making a Charisma (Persuasion) check with disadvantage—against DC 15, say, or maybe DC 20 if the orcs are there for a specific purpose, such as guarding something or staking a territorial claim. If it succeeds, the orcs’ attitude will shift from hostile to indifferent; if it fails, however, give the party only one more chance to successfully reach a détente.

It's almost as if there's a...a complex. A complex that is both military AND industrial, if you will. One that profits from wars, no matter how unnecessary or stupid they may be.

supersnowman posted:Isn't that also another caliber of ammunition to supply adding to the already massive clusterfuck their supply chain must be with the hodgepodge of different weapon system? nah I'm pretty sure they were already getting shipments of 7.62x51 anyway for all the other surplus or almost-broken they had been given away (FN MAGs, G3s and whatnot) ammunition won't be a problem. Spare parts and competent armorers? yeah sure but since those second choice weapons will most likely either be issued to second line unit where most of the action will be "dealing with russian collaborators" where they won't be seeing too high a round count (comparatively) or front line units where the lifespan of the soldier carrying it is dramatically shorter than that of the weapon, it won't be too much of a problem.

The transfer of wealth and materials will allow a lot of graft in the middle. The people who pay for it all and the people who receive whatever are largely irrelevant, as is the outcome.
