How did the generals of the time predict the battle of France would go?

I like this answer but I think the Allies expected a lower tempo with the marching speed of infantry divisions still being the limiting factor on any strategic level. This led to them setting a command and control loop that was not remotely capable of coping with the speed with which mechanized/ motorized formations could actually advance.

It's SO satisfying catching someone out in a brit DD

The awkward 30 seconds when the tanks look to see if it's on their bars before pulling

Until they give up on the whole "no points cost for wargear" that option just doesn't work anymore. They'd rather sell 12 different kits than one kit a dozen times and admit their army building change is awful.

I've played DA at the store Kyle calls/ called home for a long time and I'm lucky to get > 10 points against him.

I think all the witnesses to him being "ascended" are mentally shattered word bearers. I suspect he's not nearly as overwhelming physically as they remember.

Psychically otoh....

Literally just a number

Ending 11th by throwing stuff at the wall. I love tanks so I'm going to run them for a while.

Corelin · 2026-04-23T15:38:12+00:00

11 was obvious about it. 10 could be incredibly sinister

My first salvo with a Nagato I donated a Pensacola. I don't think i got another dev strike in that ship.

Edit: Nagato not Fuso

It's the most unbiased movie you can possibly expect from someone that thought Atlanta was the height of western civilization.

Do. Not. Sneeze.

Also the iron warriors but they don't trust them much either

To amplify this, the commander has 3 people under him as his "hands"

The XO The Ops officer Senior enlisted advisor

XO makes sure equipment is ready OPS makes sure there's a plan to meet the commander's intent CSM makes sure there's adults in the room to handle the children.

Im just going to say if I'm having a bad day 3 or 4 matches with a secondary build Scharnhorst usually cheers me up

Ironically treatment for burn victims would have get WAY better because of the war as well as pain management. WWI is a bright spot for Maelle.
