GW has no idea about numbers. With the scale of 40k you could have billions dying in battles in the imperium every day and it would be more than sustainable. Humans are really good at replenishing population, Rome lost like 10% of its people in one battle during the punic wars and was fine

It's really not well emphasized how immensely fortified Vraks is. As an armoury world it was also built to make damn sure no one took those supplies. For I don't know how long since Vraks became a thing, these defensive have been built, improved and expanded. This isn't a couple ditches, fences and some heretics in a trench. We're talking immense complexes of bunkers, hardened artillery positions, underground barracks and causeways to savely harbour and move troops, innumeours reinforced pillboxes with interlocking fields-of-fire, vast minefields, etc. pp.. Hardpoints so heavily reinforced that even heavy artillery can't bring them down unless you concentrate and throw absurd amounts of ordinance on a specific fort. Think the opening scene from 'Saving Private Ryan' except the defenses are even tougher to crack, more lethal and it's just one of the many lines of defense in a huge system that constitutes a singular defensive mainline of the three that surround Vraks. And the closer you get, the more sophisticated they become.
@ragnarian
@ragnarian Год назад
Exactly The trenches aren't just some plywood and corrugated iron ditches They're concrete, proper plumbing, multiple landlines buried deeply, auspex/radar, every square inch pre-sighted, every bunker in overlapping fields of fire of eachother, massive underground tunnels with which the heretics could move infantry and tanks unimpeded by artillery

^This. Vraks's defenses were designed to be idiot-proof. You don't need to be a military genius to put up a defense. The Imperium of Man did all the thinking and preparation for you. You just need dudes with guns to man the defenses that are already in place. There's a reason most Space Marine chapters took one look at Vraks and balked at attacking it. It's _designed_ to be a meat-grinder.

​@@ImperialGuardsman2It came from a real quote in WW 1 "We may not change History tomorrow boy but we will change the geography." Because even back then, undermining was ineffective for both the British and the German against deep lines of trenches and machine guns that can be quickly redeployed on both sides. The tactic soon became ineffective just one year after the introduction. But it made lots of big holes though. Some of those mine craters on Verdun were as big as lakes even after decades of erosion. They certainly didn't change History because it didn't make a dent to the defensive lines on both sides but they sure would make imprints on the ground that will last for centuries.

It didn't last long as the heretics got offworld support in short order too, but it was nice for a while.

I think the Alpha Legion was loyal in this fight. Thoughts as to why: 1. They played a strictly defensive role 2. They really only slew a liability to the Imperium (Dark Angels) 3. They exposed their presence needlessly in allow Kriegs to see them while demonstrating amazing stealth skills against the DA. 4. [Spoiler: they caused the destruction of a Titan legion] 5. [Spoiler: they baited Chaos space marines and then trapped them on a world with a big fleet in orbit]

So I think bricky made a bit of a fucky wucky here because the 15 losses is not accurate. Those 15 losses were those reported on the 3rd day of the dark angels advance, however by the end of their assault on the starport they lost 200 of the 500 dark angels who were sent to vraks. Also their mission was always to destroy the starport not to take it because they didn't want the defenders to receive more reinforcements from the starport. Really the dark angels succeeded in 2/3 goals and just failed to capture the traitor Astarte's they wanted.

you failed to mention how bad ass a Kriegsman has to be to have an actual NAME. Most are like A186125, an alphanumeric sequence instead of a name. A name in the death korp is earned. Also, it wasn't a PDF against the guard. It was a volunteer army that was gathered by Xyphon as a fraternal militia, with basically a penal legion to back it up since they opened up the prisons on Vraks and used them to build and man the defenses. the penal legion was trained, up to the start of the battle, with wooden replicas and only given real weapons when the siege started. Mamon taught the defenders chaos runes, that he said were protective symbols of the emperor, and since they put them everywhere they got corrupted by them. Bricky also bypassed one of the greatest artillery barrages in the history of 40k. Back at (I think) the first defensive line they brought up as many guns as they could along the entire front and started shooting each and every one as fast as they could for days on end. when one gun broke down, it was taken off the line as fast as possible and another was slammed into it's spot. It was a logistical masterpiece to acquire the guns and shells.

Actually you can very often see the sigma symbol in the Alpha Legion besides alpha and omega, further hinting at triplet primarchs. On the other hand, maybe it symbolizes the Astartes to sum (hehe) the legion up as a whole.

Crazy concept I thought of to break the lines way quicker for the Imperium: Go off world and find about 6 or 8 damn good Valkyrie Fighter/Bomber pilots. The Siege ain't going anywhere anytime soon. Then take those pilots to a secret location and practice bomb throwing with their aircraft towards a target zone. Come in low and fast, arm your bomb for air burst. Get pilots to practice and then head back to Vraks. Load said aircraft with tactical nukes thanks to the Mechanicus or some inventory long forgotten across the Imperium. Make sure nukes work and can be rigged up to deploy. Have three pilots come from the three different fronts, have Kriegsman and Artillery keep the traitors at bay until the first three pilots get close then order a full retreat to predesignated safe zones and hunker down. Pilots come in fast and low, then at a designated zone have them "Throw" their Nuke Payloads by pulling up hard and release, thus given the first three pilots time to get away from the blast zone while Hans Zimmerman Time plays until the nukes find their mark. Airbrust will mitigate radiation and fallout in immediate area but Kriegsman aren't scared of that. Move up to mop up survivors. Find positions again across the first line and repeat with next three pilots for second line, dial in Artillery to keep second line heretics down. Rinse and repeat. Then last two pilots perform third line run. Bam, you're on the enemy's doorstep with massive enemy casualties and can still take the fortress and Xaphen.

@@redecterthomsonshadowascen5177 strange, I don't remember Germany winning that one :3 Nah I'm joking, but really, the only reason they were "better" (better constructed) was because after a certain point they were wholly on the defensive, where they had an advantage by default and could afford to make better trenches, while the allies had to make new ones as they *very* slowly advanced, kreigs tactics mirror french tactics during the war more often from what I can see. Saying "x was better than x" especially in this context doesn't quite work considering the standing of the war and what each side could and couldn't afford to do, both were good and bad at many things, the German trenches were better I can say that for sure, but you have to consider what they were trying to do, which was force a stalemate after it became trench warfare, their trenches were given more time and effort because they needed to hold for as long as possible with the advantage they had (usually built on high ground usually with a lot more concrete), the french and British were on the offensive. Krieg uses mixed tactics that pull mainly lot on the allies (usually french) side but also keeps the German theme to it. It's the WW1 regiment, just like the steel legion is the ww2 regiment, or catachan is the Vietnam regiment. I wouldn't go as far to say one was better when the motives behind why they were are different. Besides, both sides of ww1 used trenches both preemptively or in a reactionary method bc of how deadly war had gotten so the point is kinda moot :p. Just take em for what they are, funni shovel people. the original comment was just bc people assume the German flavor means it's all German when it wasn't, not to say they don't have german influence at all tactically, they do, but it's a lot more french based than people even know about. Oh, I hope u have a great day! ^^(or night idk what time zone ur in :p)

4:54 This reminds me of a tactic in WW1 that was attempted by multiple nations but failed except for one. The tactic involves marching across no man's land while artillery shells fired a few feet away from the troops as they marched. The issues were the either the men marched too fast or the shells were fired too close/at a slower rate getting the men hit by the shells, or, the men marched too slow or the shells were fired too fast giving the enemy time to recover after the fact then gun the men down. The only nation that was able to perfect this and was also known by their enemies for their war crimes and brutality on the battlefield was the Canadians. I remember in my AP World History class in high school we read some letters from German soldiers talking about their fear of the Canadians.

I've heard that during the end of WWI, they kept shelling even after the attack, it's just that the artillery had became precise enough to shell a few hundred meters away from the attack and would provide cover that way. And the attack was not a mad dash across the no man's land, it was more a cautious and slow attack, under the protection of artillery ^^
