I love it when i look for a good LP of a series, and find a great yet small youtuber, because i feel so helpful to you guys, subbing and watching your videos
All criticism aside . . . If you want to read THE definitive account of Market-Garden, I recommend Cornelius Ryan's A Bridge Too Far. It isn't 'beat you over the head' dense like a lot of military history, is largely character-driven, and reads like a novel. Good stuff.
I would also like to add in the tanks you spawned in, the Sheridan, that's an airborne tank. It's armor is very weak and it can't really hold it's own against other tanks because of the light weight composites used to make it. But you can indeed drop them out of airplanes.
"2000 points of stuff, and it was way too much". You are not required to do this right away. Battles sometimes are meant to be fought in the span of few days (turns). Even if you won't get required points, and the game will end in draw. You will (if you captured areas) gain a foothold on the map, and on the next day you will have it easier to achieve your goal, after enemy took damage.
'Irregardless' Cringe. It is purely luck that the enemy didn't deploy on the tile you zerg'd and that they didn't use aircraft, otherwise you would have gotten rekt in the first minute of gameplay due to your lack of cover and general discretion.
You can theoretically drop a tank out of some transports if it flies low enough and the tank has a drag chute. Problem is, it tears up the shocks really really bad.
I really wouldn't call dropping lightly armed airborne troops along a narrow corridor through which you would deploy armored columns that could be flanked and annihilated with very little effort a very good play to be honest. It was waaay to risky, very odd plan to come from Monty, who's really known for being the reserved and cautious general that stacked odds ever in his favor before engaging the enemy.
You can rebuild (so to speak) your army/units, by sending them R&R orders.... eventually you can replenish your army, but I think the enemy also rebuild!!!
Drive an armoured column up a single road an across multiple bridges and if one is blown up the whole operation fails. It was doomed to fail from the start.
Both the Dutch resistance ánd British intelligence gave all the information they needed, but they chose to ignore it; it did not fit their planning, with a lot of unnecessary casualties as a result.
It was a perfectly reasonable plan at the time, though from a combination of bad luck and circumstances coupled with the operational incompetence, things went wrong. Good plan bad execution. Go to pegasusarchive for a detaiedl list.
I'm going to say that no 'good plan' relies on only one main corridor cutting through terrain otherwise impassible to armor from kickoff to destination. Even junior Dutch military staff in exile and Dutch resistance couldn't believe that Montgomery could be so stupid. Bad plan. Bad execution. Bad luck. Bad weather. Eisenhower shouldn't have caved to Montgomery's arrogance and egomaniacal quest for personal glory and should have (instead) let Patton smash through the Saar like he wanted to.
Mudhar Mahmood This game is nearly similar to "world in conflict" cousin. But wargame is not just like world in conflict and red alert that we know. In wargame each unit has limitation from Infantry, Armor, attack helicopter, and aircraft. This game is veryhard to play brutal
The FAILURE of operation Market Garden ended Allied expectations of finishing the war by Christmas 1944. As retaliation for Market Garden and a general railway strike which took place at the same time, the German occupation forces blocked all food shipments to the west of the Netherlands. As a result the winter of 1944-1945 is known in The Netherlands as the "Hunger Winter"; more than 20000 men, women and children died. " A Bridge To Far " indeed!!! Know your history. By the way: I'm Dutch.
Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. 8^)
Chris Law " Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance." Thus, it isn't a word. It's not listed as an official word in the dictionary nor is Wikipedia an accurate or trustworthy source. :P
Chris Law Also the clue resides in, "Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century." American Dialect? That sentence means some hillbilly decided to just make up words.
Randy Fitzgerald Haha! yeah, well sometimes thats how language evolves. It seems that improper usage of the word "good" is becoming normal too. For example: "How are you?" "I'm good". I find it irritating, as I suspect you do, but thats the way language works. Shakespeare invented a lot of words that became part of the vernacular. (www.shakespeare-online.com/biography/wordsinvented.html) George Bush Jr tried to coin a few words, the one that I can recall off the top of my head was "misunderestimate", LoL.
bastardised term, the original definition was used in the roman army as to execute (decem = ten) 1/10th of a group of criminals, often deserters as punishment and was demonstrated in WWII for war prisoners. Some people are pretty anal about using the modern term as a synonym to annihiate since another definition exists.
09:36 cringing so hard, bcos of the lack of rear defense and no protected cp vehicles + m35 not deployed when you first spotted enemy so recon or light R can get first shots off and not be in panic state when shot at before unloading
Абрамс М1, спокойно пробивается "выстрелом" из старенького рпг-7. Но "патриоты" разработчики в упор не хотят видеть таких фактов и дальше продолжают клепать игры, в которых неуязвимые американские(НАТОвские) танки гоняют на полигонах и жгут технику противника. Делали б тогда уж открытый игровой код, чтобы можно было менять характеристики юнитов, но нет. наверное АНБ и ЦРУ не позволяет :)
Dude, I must disagree on something, I thought the campaign in WEE was pretty dope, but dislike this one. 'Tacked on' is correct. People saying its like Total War series... but is it? Total War campaign is incredibly in-depth, engaging and plays very well. The game also explains what everything is for so you can figure out the best way to use things. BTW, you are supposed to use recon to not end up airdropping into a shitty spot. And your 1st inf brigade got bombed, while you bombed empty space
