Roger that, Captain (you don’t see me in real life, but I can’t stop making these puns with your name)! :+1:
I technically still hold the rank of Captain in the Army (though I got out in 2018 - I’m still in the inactive reserve). My ‘name’ was Captain in the Army for the last three years so I’m okay with that, haha. That’s pretty much why its in my title here - why there is an Infantry officer in my handle waving troops forward - and why the rank of captain is on my YouTube homepage.

I’ll be leaving tonight, so expect me to respond in only 2-3 hours.
-
Very cool (hopefully that’s an appropriate word to use when describing real life war and militaries)!
-
Thank you. That makes a lot of sense.
Thanks for clarifying. When you responded the first time about why I lost, it seemed like the delayed American entry was more important, when I strongly suspected that the aforementioned French-Italian disasters would’ve been more important.

I wasn’t aware that’s what your profile picture was. Thought it was a Soviet commissar coloured in, an homage to World War 2 history.

Yep. That’s what it is. More than likely staged knowing the Soviets but captures the sentiment of an officer in the field quite well… or how we all like to view ourselves, haha

@SuperbattleshipYamato to add to what I said earlier “Yep. That’s what it is. More than likely staged knowing the Soviets but captures the sentiment of an officer in the field quite well… or how we all like to view ourselves, haha”
Its also a slight nod to the game I was playing before Axis and Allies. Advanced Squad Leader is fun but so rules heavy that victory usually went to whoever knew the rules better - which I learned not to like.

Very cool! :+1: :+1: :)

@SuperbattleshipYamato Finally, I have an affinity for the Soviet soldiers of WWII. In terms of body count, they paid the check. Over 90% of Allied casualties were suffered by the Soviets. I’m very proud of the USA of course but …they took 9 million casualties and didn’t blink. The honest 1st hand accounts of Soviet soldiers (which are rare) are some of the most horrifying pieces of literature on war to read.

I know, I just was sleeping when you posted that.

I guess “very cool” isn’t exactly what I wanted to say. More like a cool or sentimental or nice or neat story, but I’m not sure how good that would’ve sounded. But I’m saying it now.
