ITT we explain military historical victories in the way wehraboos explain world war 2, that is to say from the losers point of view with a blatant disregard for facts that make the losers look bad.

French knights were actually the best in the world, their doctrinal and equipment superiority should have won them the battle, but general mud was on the side of the british, british archers were actually really shit, but the big open field was really favours their dishonourable type of combat.
>>30186393
da white man wuz oppressing us too much
>>30186393
Really we should have won the battle, but the turks attacked the Australians on our flank because they knew we were weak, it's all the fault of the Australians that we lost.
I win

Landed on the wrong beach, fuck it - fight anyway
Pity how that entire shitstorm could have been avoided by synchronizing watches and better comms
We actually won the Winter War :')

>Landed on the wrong beach
The officers actually said that the beach they landed on was better suited than the original.
>fuck it - fight anyway
If they fought they would of brushed away the extremely outnumbered and out gunned Turks and advanced inland, instead they dug in.
>>30186502
>implying it wasn't all the finns and their even worse winters than russia.
Russia probably could have stomped it but losing 14 to every 1 finn wasn't exactly worth it
>>30186598
More like 2 to 1 honestly.
>>30186428
argentinians actually believe this kek
>>30186412
Still can't beleive that the Brits only lost 17 men at Rorkes Drift. Even with the firearms advantage, they shouldn't have been able to hold off thousands of angry Zulu's.

>>30186680
I figure in reality, they zulus didn't charge all in, but were extremely relunctant to be first against the rifles.
>>30186725
This, it was mostly piecemeal attacks, although they were pretty constant.
It shows what superior weapons, a defensive position and no option for retreat can do.
>>30186737
Absolutely, I still think most charges in history were much more relunctant than people make it out to be.
too much slavaboo tears ITT
Millennium Challenge 2002 was a mistake

America's involvement in vietnam was a resounding success from every way you look at it, but liberals have successfully brainwashed people into thinking we lost.
Anyone else browsing stupid shit on /k/ until hearts of iron 4 is released?

I have work, so I won't be able to play it till I get out.
Also, fair warning, avoid /GSG/, they're literally doing nothing but spamming Jew memes.

I know, I woke up and saw it, that's why I came on /k/ insted.
>>30186680
Try the Battle of Blood River.
400 boers fought off 10000-20000 Zulu warriors.
3000 dead zulus, 3 lightly injured boers.
Fucking unbelievable man

Emus are surprisingly bullet resistant due to their large bodies, and being skittish animals they flee at the first sound of gunfire, which made most human weapons ineffective against a horde.
>>30187085
good one, should have added a picture of emus or australians though
why do Russians overlook how absolutely terrible their military performed and the Soviet unions hand in starting wwii anyway?

No, you won, this thread is for losers.
>>30187140
I just never understood it. Doesn't it say much more about the average soldier and the people of Russia that despite not having the best equipment or commanders they accomplished so much? Instead any criticism of their equipment or command is met with pure rage.
>>30186502
Daily reminder that soviet achieved their objectives against the fins
>>30187204
Pretty weak objectives then.

They wanted the land where russians lived to be part of russia, and they got it, what else should they have taken?
>>30187179
They did fairly well, given the circumstances.

An army on offensive will have more casulaties than one on defensive
>>30187225
guess the U S M C never got the memo, kid
>>30187233
To be fair, destroying a tiny amount of people on an island where they can't move much around and are completely cut off from reinforcements and supplies with a huge navy with heavy battleship artillery support 24/7 and a giant airforce while also outnumbering the enemy 5 to 1 is pretty fucking easy.
Honestly the USMC should be embarrased and how they performed so shittily in those conditions.
>>30187225
But why did the Soviets also take more casualties on the defensive? See Kursk for example, where the USSR had over a months worth of time to prepare the area, they mined the fuck out of it, established trenchlines, prepositioned material and forces and had a masterful plan in place to utterly destroy two whole army groups and clear the way into Ukraine. Instead those army groups managed to leave largely intact and ended up giving stern resistance throughout the rest of the war.
>>30187340
Things don't always go according to plan, and most losses for the russians during kursk was the soviet counter offensives.
>>30187373
>and most losses for the russians during kursk was the soviet counter offensives.
Yes, but when they were on the defensive they took significantly more casualties than the Krauts.
>>30187464
Maybe, German casualty counting is pretty stupid.
Hearts of iron 4 is out now.
>>30187677
>damage control levels rising.
>>30186400
>British
It was an English army.
At least back then they had the decency to only use men of pure Germanic ancestry instead of filthy celts.
>>30187677
The soviets suffered more deaths than the kraits did during the soviet defense stage
>>30192045
Operation Barbossa was hitler throwing his best at the enemy.
Stalin, that fuckin nigger killed all experienced generals and officers he had for some stupid reason, the war broken out years later...Boom, the shit was thrown in the senpai
>>30186400
It's Azincourt, and it was not a war but a battle.
Frenchies lost that battle but won the war. Know the difference.
