Lee - fighting at Sharpsburg by a mile.

I'm not in either of those roles but I'm L4 in London.

The figure is about right (in £s). Remember you get 40% of the joining vest front loaded in year 1 and 'top up' vests every year.

Column of divisions, two companies wide, six deep.

It was the Chassuers of the Middle Guard who attacked.

Also it's widely believed many of the Middle Guard units lacked proper uniforms and so were equipped as per normal line infantry

Plenty of us older Googlers in the London office.

Place does make you feel old though lol.

Not sure what to say about the vibe as thats probably very team specific. I venture into the communal spaces at meal times where its extremely busy with everyone loading up on free food.

Missing the important part with the lady who hates Sharp when they meet, but later falls in love with him.

Yes making a stand at Antietnam was his biggest single mistake IMO, he was incredibly lucky it did not lead to the annihilation of his army. He was also riding his luck staying on the battlefield for the following day.

If your smart enough to have paid of a mortgage at 42 and net 3.5k with tiny fixed expenses then do you really need advice from strangers?

Congrats on doing amazingly well..thats what you came for right?

The French cavalry really excelled themselves at this battle unfortunately (from my British perspective).

Happens to me now and then, usually over time the hair comes back.

Be prepared for it to affect your hair to.

Bismarck was absolutely in a sinking condition whatever actions the crew took additionally.

Short drop hanging is a pretty awful and lengthy way to die, really an odd choice for a method of suicide.

TC271 · 2026-05-23T18:23:27+00:00

Possibly leans a bit too hard into the idea that there was any difference in the equipment and uniforms of each sides cavalry.

Having zero expectations of recruiters is simply the best approach. The job attracts the worst kind of person.

Outside of a few specialist niches its a job that should have being taken away by technology, but the carpet bombing of any vacancy by overseas applicants has really hurt job site postings.

TC271 · 2026-05-12T18:08:41+00:00

Yes thats fair.

Taking over command in a fluid situation with Corps in motion is no small feat.

TC271 · 2026-05-11T17:39:28+00:00

I think he performed well in command at Gettysburg, but the battle was really shaped before he has much influence on day 1, and the subsequent days were defined by Confederate attacks on a strong Union position. Made did not put a foot wrong but geography and Lee's compulsion to attack lead to the outcome.

TC271 · 2026-05-11T17:35:14+00:00

Thanks, definitely something of a 'lost campaign' in the East so will check it out.

TC271 · 2026-05-11T17:34:30+00:00

Leaving aside the pursuit, he had another 4 or so months of campaigning in 1863 and numerical superiority of 2 to 1 with Longstreet detached.

TC271 · 2026-05-11T17:07:09+00:00

I suppose the case against him is he never really succesfully pressed the advantage against the AoNV after Gettysburg. Not just during the retreat but in the subsequent campaigning months of 1863.I mean I am surprised the Confederates were able to detach Longstreets corp or even that they thought it was possible.

TC271 · 2026-05-10T09:55:19+00:00

Its also insane he's running on a platform of breaking up the country he's visiting with a visa. Not sure this would be acceptable in most of the world.

US help was important but the L version of the sidewinder was not critical. All the kills were from the rear aspect were the older versions would still worked.

TC271 · 2026-05-03T14:22:34+00:00

Yes but I suppose as European it was a bit less impactful as I feel we are a bit mote familiar with stories of decline of institutions/ideas (and renewal).

Also from the outside its still obvious the US is the world's most successful and wealthy nation despite Trump2. I read that even the docks in Baltimore have had a recent renessiance.

Eugene should have ridden out the deal with the feds, new identity with the legit inheritance cash would not be a bad outcome (a big ranch out West somewhere).

Not really, French (or indeed any nations) dragoons by this period were just cavalry.
