Funny you've gone into a topic like this, when Master of Command is about to come out. Set in the 7 years war, RTS game comes out on the 27th. The Demo will be back on the 27th as well. Might be something to check out on the gaming channel.
Am I the only one who notice that the characters don't have neck.
Cool video. I watch you with great pleasure
The Hat you were wearing in this video 100% perfectly explains why you use the town building music from actraiser in all of your videos.
I actually effing love that game even the town building part.
Can you cover the battle of Indian independence, I think it desperately needs some well researched and unbiased study , especially nowadays, when chat groups and social media morphs as per their own opinions
340th
The only thing that'll actively get me to root for the British is when they're fighting yanks
I am once again asking you make a episode about the voyage of the russian second pacific squadrons journey in the russo-japanese war of 1904/05
As a Long Islander this is one of my favorite one if your vids
Howe made a solid tactical decision based on available information and past experience. It's easy to, with omniscient hindsight, talk about the decision as a blunder, but one must always consider what information a general has. War has a gargantuan degree of luck involved, and you can make endless correct decisions and still lose purely because the odds come out against you. History is full of exceptional leaders and skilled generals who won or lost solely because their gamble worked out. This isn't to say that it's all luck; just that you make the best choices you have at a given time. Sometimes they'll work, sometimes they won't. That's not failure, that's just life.
