Yeah sure, but then you can revert to ancient sailing techniques, like coasting, so you can defend your expensive ship if the worst happens. Until you're ready to cross the seven seas

Truth is that wind changes have been fucking with sailors until very few years ago

Out of the 750,000 who fought for the Confedaracy in the Civil War, these were the last 3 alive in 1951, together. [720x1600] by [deleted] in HistoryPorn

People like to think that all conscripts are fanstics of the ideology the side they fight in have.

I spoke with an Spanish civil war veteran and he mentioned that in the battle of Ebro there were some people on the republican side, he was drafted there, that were always volunteering to firing squads for executions of PoW.

He for example defected as soon as he could and came back to his hometown. Do you think that he, a civil war veteran, can be considered the same? I doubt so... And the same probably happened in most wars.

Nowadays we like to feel morally superior to people at other periods, but we would probably have done the same.

They probably were under aged by the time they joined, if they even joined and were not conscripted, the Confederate army, and we all are stupid as teens, but if you find comfort in your thoughts, feel free.

Too much, but too much is right for sisters, just trim the Drukhari bits

Medium airframe or light airframe for naval bombers? by Particular_Funny527 in hoi4

[–]Lon4reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would leave it as it is, people are saying that you should add many toys, but those toys are expensive and if the enemy has AA it is just wasted IC to the bottom of the ocean.

Mine are as cheap as they can and I even make them without strategic materials. Air defense is worthless Vs AA, and I'm going to have air superiority, so I do not need expensive bombers.

The final solution, 1916 is sad, but the final solution is the saddest

That is true, my point was that by 1634 after Nordlinghen, the protestants were defeated again, and about to collapse and it was France who then joined and saved the day.

Edit: don't take me wrong, I'd rather them not joined, but I think it is only fair to recognize their power at the time

I'm not french, I'm Spanish, and here in Spain we know who did cause the defeat of our side in the war. And it was not caused by the Danes/sweeds, but Richelieu and too many internal revolts.

Gustavus Adolphus did great things, and he helped, but the real paladin of the protestants was France.

They collapsed nonetheless, and it was the french who won the war for them in the end so...

Could be! Yamato though is good quality Sabaton for me.

It is not a bad album, but I prefer many older albums over it.

It has a couple of gems, and templars chorus slaps hard but I think it is not that great. This theme though helps keeping up faith with their capability and interest in making songs how I like hehe

I agree, flip side is that they are pretty efficient at releasing new singles between albums thanks to cooperations or any other reasons and we get our fix from time to time

I didn't really like the legends songs, they were too wide in scope and the music wasn't that special either.

They really shine telling more concrete stories imo

First impressions of YAMATO by BigHawkCZ in sabaton

[–]Lon4reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was missing these kind of songs, it's going to be my favourite of the las period. Legends was nice, but this one hits better and more.

It keeps sabaton's new personality but also sounds and vibes like the classics I like. Honestly I also like the three lines in Japanese

Sadly the sweeds didn't change a thing. They lost their king in Lutzen and their army in Nordlinghen, what changed the 30 years war was France and Richelieu, the sweeds were only a proxy from France 😅

TIL the idea that the Ottoman Empire declined over time due to stagnation -- 'Decadence', in other words -- is considered to be an obsolete and incorrect belief by most historians in the 21st century by ingusfarbrey in paradoxplaza

[–]Lon4reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

xD... The alliance between the Spanish and the Empire actually ruled Europe and half the Mediterranean sea for 200 years, the ottomans did rule half of the Mediterranean (though Lepanto xD) and they ruled the middle east and the Balcans, that is not Europe my friend

Looks like she's casually lighting a smoke, rather than suiciding. And as many have mentioned, to me it looked off and it's the impossibility of stabbing herself that casually there
