The human brain is more complex than the whole fucking universe. A single cell is a million time more complex than a nuclear bomb.
Who the fuck creates all this complexity and is able to keep track of it? It must have taken a lot of time and dedication which leads me to my conclusion:
God is autistic.
If we agree that god is autistic everything makes sense: The huge scale of the universe, the existence of evil (because making a trillion quadrillion stars is more important than giving people enough fucking food) etc...

Who invented special forces?
Greed Shitstain, during WW2
That's why the SAS have such a reputation, even though nowdays they're just average
The first modern 'special forces' were the British commando brigades formed during WW2.

>an imperial roman legion would destory a late medieval army
>>1039638
No, but an imperial roman legion would destroy an early medieval army.
No it wouldn't.
That's like saying Napoleon's army would beat a WW1 army.
>>1039638
Not a chance.
Soo I'm doing a study on WWII at my current year at college and I managed to find a bunch of neat stuff about control methods that made the third reich so powerful he could order a nation of people to war without being morally questioned. Do you guys have anything to share that might help me on that study?
I'm currently associating the gatekeeping theory and how the german press was controlled by Goebbels and to succed I must have good sources to validate the entire analysis. Also, links would be much appreciated, but books on the subject would be marvelous :D

I've been reading up on medieval siege tactics and weapons and I came across a page that said crossbowmen would often coat their bolts in beeswax.
Is there any historical accuracy to this or is it just another myth?
The reason given was that it would cause the bolts to more often bounce or slide off shields but I can't find any other sources that support this claim.
>>1038789
Why would they want them to slide off shields?
>>1038800
Theoretically to fly into helmets and other areas of the body.
>>1038789
I think it is prevent wear and tear on the crossbow.

I really like the Kaiserreich mod for the hearts of iron series. For those not familiar with it there is a huge wiki that has a detailed history.
I however do not like several decisions the mod makers have made. Some of them were made to have a certain powerbalance and others i can't explain. I would like to hear the input of /his/ to create a better scenario. Post what disturbs you about the scenario and what you would change. I will post my suggestions later on when i can use my computer.
Even if nobody was interested in this :
The wiki : http://editthis.info/kaiserreich/Main_Page
The basis for the mod is that the central powers win WW1 thus world history takes a completly different path. The mod tries to create a more interesting gameplay for hearts of iron so some decisions are not even close to realism. I would be interested in making the scenario more realistic.
Things that bugged me the most :
- GB falling to syndicalism ( the Kaiserreich timelines revolutionary leftist ideology) In my oppinion GB either would become rightwing reactionary...

I like the general idea of KR, but absolutely hate the execution. The changes are just way too zany, out of this world, crazy, unbelievable, syndicailsm etc. everywhere.
