BearsBearsBears posted:Their methodology is all hosed up. Number of battles won is way overvalued. Generals who win large amounts of easy battles are being placed higher than generals who win very difficult battles. He's apparently aware of this and added a "war per battle" statistic after people complained but he doesn't create a second visualization. Yeah I think he says that but anyway it’s fun. It’s entirely a measure of operational and tactical acumen and rewards generals who blundered strategically but could pull out wins on long odds.Hitler having a marginally better score as most German generals is funny though because “Hitler was the reason the (clean!) Wehrmacht lost to the inferior Soviets” is complete bullshit that was gospel in western pop history. Also critical but late support to Napoleon in his crusade against the Anglo demons but you hosed up on Haiti bro

I don't believe there's any alternate history out there about "well what if the Soviets just lost the eastern front" because they weren't ever going to

mdemone posted:that would've changed things but it's almost as unlikely as winning the eastern front would have been for them It’s not really addressed directly but it would also be implied that because the US was isolationist the UK was sea lion’ed way earlier, so the Soviet Union had to fight even more Germans earlier with no benefit of lend lease, and that the Soviets still haven’t really been conquered and occupied even by the time the book takes place but more shattered as a functioning state and pushed back to the steppes and mountains. So it takes seriously the vast disparity that existed in production in our timeline especially for the time it was written where even academic historians thought the Germans had a chance.

The opening quote neatly sums up how stupid this is.Livy posted:When Africanus asked who, in Hannibal’s opinion, was the greatest general, Hannibal named Alexander… as to whom he would rank second, Hannibal selected Pyrrhus… asking whom Hannibal considered third, he named himself without hesitation. Then Scipio broke into a laugh and said, “What would you say if you had defeated me?” Only one of these dudes was militarily successful, one is still a byword for winning battles yet still losing and the last who also didn't know how to win wars. Winning battles is not the goal, winning wars isn't even it, but achieving your political goals.

Of course really the settlers are miserable and the Jews are dead.
