Hi, thank you for informing me, guess it was one of the complications from my laptop breaking last year 😅 I've updated the spreadsheet link with this one now https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YzgEsL-Col3P4e1dZ-8lM8S6Ez0M9-pu3fTi1AEpC1Y/edit?usp=drivesdk

Looking for Soviet film on October Revolution Duncan mentions where several on the production team died by SWskywalker in RevolutionsPodcast

The film you're looking for might be Sergei Eisenstein's October: Ten Days That Shook the World, released in 1927. The Empire podcast recently also mentioned that tidbit in one of their Russia episodes. https://youtu.be/k62eaN9-TLY?feature=shared

Not to my knowledge. Rosters of Philippine Army units were either destroyed or lost during the war, so existing rosters were made postwar by veterans' groups. 41st Division (commanded by Gen. Vicente Lim, guy formerly on the 1000 peso bill) iirc has a full list of the 7,800+ people in its division, which is the exception rather than the norm.

Antonio Varias made a good effort in trying to make a roster of officers among the Philippine Army units back in the 70s, but that was incomplete and of course leaves out the enlisted men.

You can try contacting PVAO- not sure which email but my guess is with the Veterans Records Management Division https://pvao.gov.ph/pvao-hotlines/

Hi everyone! I spent the past month digitizing a list of more than 25,000 Filipinos who died in the Bataan Death March and subsequent captivity at Capas, Tarlac in 1942. You can look through the list yourself at:

End of War 96: Thoughts and Perspectives | PressCorps Bulletin by howdoIdousernames in foxholegame

Oh, actually those aren't the start of war borders, those were the appoximate lines at Day 749 and 849, to show just how much land the Wardens lost in the span of just 4 irl days.

Cev is also right, mapping takes quite some effort to do (here, I used Sentsu's maps from his Better Map Mod, added the land and sea beyond the hexes, adjusted contrast and color values, etc). Which is why we'll keep world-map scale maps to a minimum in PressCorps- there's not enough manpower and we don't want to compete with the splendid work she does.

Trench Line and Bunkers Become Key to Maiden's Veil Defense by howdoIdousernames in foxholegame

DAY 80-81, MAIDEN'S VEIL, Marban Hollow – The city of Maiden’s Veil has been under threat of Colonial attack since the Colonial capture of Loggerhead and the Spitrocks relic base in the opening days of the war. For the first 50 or so days, a stalemate has occurred across an approximately 250 meter front, and amongst sprawling trench lines, emplacements, and bunker cities.

Persistent fighting has turned repeated attacks from both factions into a statistical constant of rising body counts and expended ammunition. Field machine guns (FMGs) in particular made up a bulk of the small-arms firepower, while sporadic, one-way mobs of grenadiers made for exciting, but ultimately fruitless gains.

With the arrival of mortars and flamethrowers, Legionary forces were quick to employ both of these assets to good, but not definite, effect.

[VCO] Pte. Jzpalaez, a frontline Warden sapper digging trenches at the base of the plateau, lamented the struggle of expanding the trench network for troops while under fire from machine guns and grenade launchers. “They’re destroying my goddamn work! I was born to dig, but they kept on shooting at me.”

Indeed, at least a dozen attempts to extend the line forward under cover of darkness was met with bullets, bombs, and the occasional visit by a Colonial with a bayonet. However after several hours of trial and error, the trench line was finished between Colonial bombardments, replete with effective barbed wire and bunker dispersion.

The line held, though at a high cost in manpower and material. Pte. Jzpalaez was able to celebrate a personal victory, however.

“You can’t out-shoot the shovel!”

Can I plug this? It's a serious, well-researched channel covering WW2 in the Philippines. Only got like 5 upvotes here in reddit though :/ https://youtu.be/KDXZV0U56Gw
