I dated a girl whose brother was in jail and he wrote to ask her for info on "nordic runes" so we just assumed he was trying to join some kind of white supremacy rune gang. she didn't send him the rune book and we sent him a bunch of sci fi stuff (jack vance) instead. he said reading Emphyrio in jail changed his life

the most important thing for me in CoH3 is that the german afrikorps seem like they're gonna be the soviet analogue. I love the zergier playstyle because that was my starcraft faction > imperium of man (dawn of war, basically prototype CoH) > soviets in coh2. creating kill boxes with zis-3 76mm and whatever MGs my conscript can steal from the enemy is my fave bit of the game and doubly so because you can just move your lines around while whermact etc get bogged down with static defensive structures

How does that track? They were pretty hard up for personnel replacements almost from the onset. You'd think maybe the Italians or something, but Afrika Korps?

probably won't know until it comes out but afrikorps is the closest description to the soviets "high speed/high casualties" faction I can see so far from marketing materials (surely marketing wouldn't misrepresent anything :ohdear:). I would say CoH isn't that realistic in the first place

for instance: if you can micro like 3 conscript squads with ppsh-41 (some soviet sub machine gun sorta like the thompson "chicago typewriter" style gun) then they can easily overcome a line of MG teams. in reality they'd probably all be chopped to bits by a single MG team well before they could flank them

the worst AI commander to fight in coh2 is one with an ability to do "propaganda pamphlets" which is basically a UNLIMITED RANGE AoE attack that make any non-mechanized unit retreat to your home base. the AI does them with lightning quick reactions to gently caress you over constantly and it's a huge headache

I think it's this one

the most disturbing thing to me, an american, is how readily our media ecosystem slurped up uncritical pro-ukraine propaganda and how readily it was reflected on the something awful forums. I don't even want to kiss and hug vladimir putin just weirded out as hell that we're living through 2003 "WE MUST LIBERATE IRAQ BECAUSE OF 9/11" tier stuff all over again. you'd think a "representative" democracy would AT LEAST want to inform its citizens about the potential consequences of fighting a syria style proxy war right on the border of russia but no can do slava ukraini all my himars to you goonsire ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
