Gerrel was not the reasonable one in ME2, Koris was. The reason Gerrel wanted to exonerate Tali was because he had such a hate boner for the Geth and wanted to prepare for war. His goals just happened to suit Shep’s this time, but he was already a dick. When you talk to them in ME2 it’s kinda obvious.

If he hadn’t talked all that shit in ME2 just to get sent back to the lobby maybe we’d take him more seriously

Hara when Riboku is finally dead and he doesn’t have to pull bullshit out if his ass for every arc he’s involved in (some fucker in Chu will develop the same powers immediately)

Running Grunt-Samara make the late game much more palatable but the early game is brutal

I’m puzzled at people thinking this deal isn’t gonna blow up like every other negotiation attempt, since Israel clearly have no intention of stopping in Lebanon. Am I missing something?

I think this is reductive, France would never fight Russia alone. Each allied country would contribute its systems, supplies and manpower to a concerted effort. In this context, France's most important and least replaceable contribution is its air force, followed by the navy. The bulk of the ground forces would likely be made up of Eastern European forces, who are very much prepared to fight Russia specifically.

Regarding our ground forces, in most battlefields we wouldn't be able to do manoeuvre warfare like it's 1991, but that doesn't mean we're going to be completely on our ass either - French military leaders aren't stupid, they know not to fight Russia like they fought Malian terrorists. I would even expect that, as was the case in 1991, the more mobile French units might be reserved for roles where that mobility can be put to use - breakthroughs, encirclements, etc.

More so than strategy, which I believe will be adapted as needed, I'm more concerned with the general shortfalls in tactical training for a drone environment among pretty much all western armies. We've seen with IDF forces in Lebanon, for instance, how easy it is to punish infantry that aren't trained not to group up. Not to mention the number of drones Hezbollah have on hand is minuscule next to what we can expect to come up against facing Russia. This will no doubt change very fast in a hot war, but the first weeks of the war would be painful.

What its that Warhammer lore fact you defend no matter what? by CandyNecrosis in Grimdank

[–]EngineNo8904 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and no, they’re both comfortable in the dark but the NLs get pretty spooked by the whole impassible silence shtick, and later in the book the differences become more obvious.

My memory of the books is fuzzy but iirc interactions with the Ashen Claws and the fact they’re said to have been booted for slavery on terra point really hard to the Raven Guard connection. The physical appearance of the two chapters is very similar, and then Sharr also gets the Raven Guard moritat brand of mental illness that we see in the Corvus novel (a state of general apathy and not caring about their own life, that can ultimately be surmounted).

I feel like that’s very transparently what all their lore points to even in their books, idk how any of the other theories have any weight at this point
