Maximo Roboto posted:How come for the French, defeat resulted in the 1917 mutinies, or for the Russians the February Revolution for that matter? Not saying those are more likely than the rise of fascism, but they're an alternative to the experience in A-H/Italy. It also wasn't so much as the defeat as the French officers were treating their soldiers like poo poo. The British for example made efforts to give their soldiers hot food and home leave, whereas the French... Not so much.

In Ultimate general: civil war the Parrots have better range and damage but are rarer while the Napoleons are cheaper and can be massed.

Cookie Cutter posted:The Finland thing for me has previously worked as a point to disqualify this idea that Putin is somehow dead set on world domination. It's right there, it's population is tiny, it wasn't in NATO, it has regions that feature in the starry eyed dreams of Russian nationalists, and it has the added bonus of not being the most fortified place on the continent full of ideologically hardened and well-equipped psychopaths - if we are in pure territory capture mode then surely it would be preferable to just march on Helsinki and take it with no effort, so why hasn't evil Putin done that yet? Lost the cores on it and has been too busy running fabrication missions on the Ukraine, now it might be too late.

Slavvy posted:I think the WW1 LP (the posters name escapes me atm) that took place a few years ago was really demonstrative in how command structures muddy the waters and make it really hard to get anything done compared to the godlike omnipotent single deity system of the average strategy game. You had people literally talking to each other in the same thread and still making mistakes and creating a disorganized mess with thousands of casualties and iirc there wasn't even a particularly strong fog of war effect in place. There was one by Grey Hunter and another by Trin Tagula and they were both magnificent messes where the goon generals managed to recreate some of the finest screwups of WW1 despite, you know, plenty of hindsight.

Chillgamesh posted:Did the US feed PMCs to the meatgrinder the same way Russia is? My memory is really hazy. I seem to recall a big uproar when a couple of Blackwater mercs got lynched in Iraq but that's about it Sort of. Blackwater was more tasked with dishing out casualties then taking them but they also hired Johnny foreigner to do some of their work. But it was also somewhere to go for retired military who weren't tired of fighting. Like the reason the Blackwater guys were lynched was because they were hired to escort convoys and they made a habit of indiscriminately firing at anyone who got too close to them.

Nonsense posted:Senior lieutenant Pavel Kuzin mowed down hundreds of Russians with his machine-gun before his death, enabling his troops to commit a skilled rear-guard action. We immediately purchased his identity manifests and repackaged him into the Recon Rover Pavel character with a multi-tiered media campaign: televids, touchbooks, holos, psi-tours-- the works. People need heroes. They don't need to know how he died clawing his eyes out, screaming for mercy. The real story would just hurt sales, and dampen the spirits of our customers.

Slim Jim Pickens posted:The French ended up inventing the actual solution, which was a bunch of little tanks that could trundle along and blast stuff. Stormtroopers were just trench raiders en-masse and frankly their prevalence in the wwi mythos is a bunch of hokeum like blitzkrieg was for WWII. The French invented the actual solution, in the words of Field Marshall Foch, "We are waiting for the tanks and the Americans". Although according to Louis Barthas the French officers hated their soldiers and were trying to get them all killed.

gradenko_2000 posted:was digital camo ever found to be actually good? I've only ever criticism of it that "nature doesn't look like that" or something similar, which intuitively means it's really effective at camouflaging people, but I don't know if that's simply a knee-jerk, "common sense" reaction There's a navy office where I work and I can totally see those sailors in their digital camo from a long way away. I don't know where it's supposed to work but it certainly doesn't make them blend into the cubicles or the line at the poke bar.
