  1. True, but I am reminded of how in Nazi Germany one of the cliche phrases was "Wenn das der Führer wüsste" - "If only the Führer knew". Because people never associated the corruption and crime of the Nazi regime with Hitler directly. So arguably this could be a move to consolidate power against other elites. That said, I am not really arguing this, just throwing it out. May well be that he feels empowered enough to move into open opposition.
  2. Maybe by stoking fear of a revolution in the middle classes?
  3. That kind of seems like an exposed position though, surely they don't have enough forces to hold this kind of territory?
  4. Q-Anon is part of the same cultural tradition that led to the Salem witch hunts and the satanic panic, among other things.
  5. Many of these people must feel silly doing this kind of ceremony in 2023.
  6. A while back I read that the German marines that defended against the British at the Aller and Weser were actually partly equipped with this unusual gun: This was the next (and last step) in Germany's quest for making light-weight, high penetration AT guns, after the mid war squeeze bore type projects failed due to missing materials (tungsten). Basically it fired a modified 8cm mortar round at low velocity to knock out tanks with the HEAT principle. It was quite cheap and maneuverable like older, lighter PAK models. Drawback was the relatively low range. Due to the new system, it was not actually called a "PAK", but a "PAW 600" for "Panzerabwehrwerfer". Not many were made, but in my view it could be a cool addition to the late western front module.
  7. The EU does not benefit all of the local elites, which is why they worked towards Brexit in GB. Moving money streams and power back from the EU elites to some of the local ones. For the people on the ground it probably won't be any radical improvement, they are just getting exploited in slightly different ways by slightly different people.
  8. I thought with CMBN out on Steam, it would be a good idea to make a video geared towards new players in order to help out with the basic gameplay.
  9. Note that my production numbers only refer to the scoped version. The unscoped one was first produced in October 43 and was probably in use in Normandy. Apparently there was trouble with getting the scope (ZF4) into mass production.
  10. Another historical note: These are the production numbers for the scoped variant of the G43. Note that production only really picked up in November 44. Since the units in Normandy were only really refitted after that campaign, it is fairly unlikely that this weapon actually showed up in that theatre and from a historical standpoint it should probably be left to the games with later settings.
  11. I would say if taken together with the expansion it probably is the best WW2 CM, simply because it has a ton of fairly unique content and is most "up to date". That said, how much you enjoy a CM title boils down a lot to your interest in that particular scenario. If you don't care much about the eastern front at all, you may as well get a different one that interests you more. They are not massively different and the quality between the titles is fairly steady.
  12. I think you are talking about different things, namely if the casualties are per month or overall.
  13. I finished my playthrough of the Ogledow campaign on Youtube. This is the last installment, with a short review.
  14. Yeah I have little faith in bitcoin, however, I wouldn't be surprised if China could (for example) push ahead with some state backed digital currency, which would first be used by Russia and other sanctioned countries, but could also be used to undercut the dollar in the third world.
  15. Things don't necessarily stay as they are...
  16. Yeah I've also been wondering if future history books won't call these sanctions the beginning of the end of the dollar's dominance of global economy.
  17. They must have used a render with the B replaced by a Z:
  18. That is literally bomb spot B of Dust 2....
