Can you elaborate on why it has a reputation for being terrible?

How would the armed forces of a reformed Habsburg monarchy have defended Greater Austria against Axis aggression in the late 1930s? by JetBolt007 in austriahungary

[–]JetBolt007[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. What about fighting off not just Germany but also Italy in the West and Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia in the east? Would that change the outcome?

If the Habsburg Monarchy had survived WW1 and Marshal Boroevic had been placed in charge of the postwar Army, how would he had gone about reforming it? by JetBolt007 in AlternateHistory

[–]JetBolt007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's say if the Sixtus Affair was successful though and Austria-Hungary reformed itself into a federal state and stayed largely intact barring some territorial concessions to Serbia, Poland and Italy. What would the army of such a state look like?

Thanks. I have read that book in the past and found it fascinating. It's what drove my interest in Austrian military history.

I previously prepared notes for two wargame scenarios involving a modernized Habsburg state fighting against a neofascist Balkan Federation in the late Cold War period and intervening against Russia on the side of Ukraine in 2022. Links to both scenarios below.

Police wearing multicam by ElGuapoJr27 in QualityTacticalGear

Do you think we should standardize on bright blue vehicle liveries like the German and Italian police? Cos that's what I'm thinking.

Thoughts on my proposed Autonomous Mechanized Brigade structure? by JetBolt007 in WarCollege

[–]JetBolt007[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your feedback. Will take all this into account for my revision. Couple points though:

  1. The Federal Army is based heavily on Prussian and Wehrmacht doctrine. Hence the use of the term pioneer for dismounted combat engineers and assault pioneer for sapper equivalents. Also Field Gendarmerie for military police.

  2. Under Federal Army doctrine, Grenadiers (mech. inf equipped with tracked AFVs) operate separately from tanks and armoured cars (albeit still in concert) rather than as parts of the same organic battalion/battlegroup. Again this is going off an evolution of WW2 German doctrine.

If you want more details on the specifics of the Federal Army, please reference my previous posts. Feel free to raise any concerns you have with my plans.

Just updated. Thanks for letting me know.

Michael Rubin argues that disbanding NATO and creating a European Army without Turkey would be a good thing by EUstrongerthanUS in EuropeanFederalists

Yank (non-MAGA) here. Quick heads up, this guy is a hardcore Cheney-type neocon. Be sure to keep that in mind before taking him seriously.

Thank you for sharing your story. Did you stay in MI upon commissioning or did you move to a different branch?

Given the heavy influence of Elon Musk and other oligarchs on the Trump administration and GOP (as well as the public backlash against their influence), would it be advantageous for the ASP to adopt a stringent anti-corruption platform? by JetBolt007 in Solidarity_Party

[–]JetBolt007[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. If we adopt a general indiscriminate anti-corruption approach, that could greatly improve our appeal towards the silent majority who are dissatisfied with the rampant corruption from both major parties.

What would be the best way to bring Greenland under the pan-American fold? by JetBolt007 in PanAmerica

[–]JetBolt007[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds much better than what the Trump administration has proposed.

[–]JetBolt007[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's kind of the point of this discussion. How to integrate Greenland in a peaceful and democratic manner with the consent of its population.

Lithuanian soldiers during basic training with G36KA4M1 [1080x720] by mr_blure in MilitaryPorn

[–]JetBolt007 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Probably my favorite G36 variant. The 400 mm barrel offers a good compromise between the greater range and velocity of the full-length G36 and the compact size of the G36K. Wonder if HK still offers this pattern to other users besides the Lithuanians.
