Hey, the Twins are doing pretty well so far this season!
When I was at the Cubs game earlier this month I sat next to a gentleman from the UK. He kindly asked me to explain some of the rules and situations to him and it was fun to teach him how baseball works. He certainly enjoyed the great hot dogs and peanuts and Chicago craft beer, as well as the game. It's just a really pleasant experience.
True, but the local minor league team is the St. Paul Saints. They're owned by Bill Murray and act like it. They've had nuns giving backrubs, games with the umpires replaced with an a judge and a jury, and have done a fundraiser with a local atheist group during which they changed their name to the Mr. Paul Ain'ts. Just hilarious, bizzare stuff. |

If you're going to do baseball, keep in mind that (1) about half the time what you're really doing is getting drunk for 4 hours with your friends and (2) the minor league teams can be more fun than the majors. (TBF, though, my local team is the Twins which probably distorts my perspective.) |
. . . Eh, we're talking about likely the greatest ethnic cleansing in recorded history, with over a million deaths . .
.
That's utterly false. Ethnic cleansing is "the systematic forced removal of ethnic or religious groups from a given territory by a more powerful ethnic group, with the intent of making it ethnically homogeneous. The forces applied may be various forms of forced migration (deportation, population transfer), intimidation, as well as mass murder." I.e. the fucking holocaust. Last I checked 6m > 1m. |
I missed this but how could you seriously not know that the Battle of the Bulge involved immense amounts of artillery?
Yes, it involved lots of artillery. The vast majority of which was American not German. The Germans started with 1,600 artillery pieces, which sounds impressive until you remember that they had to abandon half of them almost immediately due to lack of ammunition and what wasn't abandoned struggled mostly couldn't keep up with the advance of the German Army. I'd respectfully suggest that you check the section labelled "the artillery arm" in the cite previously provided.
There was a whole lot of battle after December 16. From Dec. 23 to January 25 (most of the battle) the Americans had 4,155 artillery pieces--more than double what the Germans started with, and much, much more than the Germans could actually bring to bear. |
In regards to heavy arty for OKW, NO..
In regards to your 'historic' claim:
Never heard of the hummel, nebelwerfers,or the schwere gustav, the multiple railway guns and their other heavy mortars?
in regards to the nebelwerfers, where do you think the term firestorm came from?
And if history counts here? Hmm let us have 5 t34s to every panther for the same amount of fuel, let us have soviet artillery spam (just the way the soviets liked it), let us have the IS2 mod 1944 one shot tigers, panthers and kingtigers with ease, let us have only one 76mm long barreled sherman with every 3 to 4 other short barrel shermans and the list goes on...
Well a quick google search informs me that the word "firestorm" comes from the late 16th century, so it sure as hell doesn't come from the Wehrmacht.
As for your other claims, you might want to re-read what I wrote. First, it contained the phrase "in the ardennes." The schwere gustav was a too-expensive impractical piece of shit, and it wasn't at the ardennes. You know what else wasn't at the Ardennes? Meaningful quantities of German artillery pieces or ammunition(1). It's pretty easy to achieve radical superiority in artillery when your enemy started with less than half of the pieces that you had, then has to abandon half of those due to lack of ammunition.
Second, yes, obviously balance > history. You may have noted that the first reason I gave was balance related. That doesn't justify actually misrepresenting history in the way that OP proposes.

Definitely not. They're already packing some pretty serious turtle power with the medic and flack truck. Giving them heavy arty would mean that you could be successful while barely leaving your base. Besides, history counts for something here, and German Arty was far inferior to its American counterpart in the Ardennes. |
No they are not and yet the L2P claim is seen on 100% of the threads. Just because some people have the time and the motivation to study every aspect of the game and know every possible counter to any possible strategy, doesn't mean that everyone else should do so as well just so they can enjoy the game without being stomped.
If you don't want to bother learning the counter to a strategy, then you should expect to lose to it in a real time strategy game. Honestly, try to picture a game in which that *isnt* true; one strat so dominates all that it's the only thing you need to know? That sounds pretty boring. I'm not even sure you could really call it a "game" more like a skill challenge. |
Bullshit rhetoric.Zis,cons and mines are enough to lol at ur ostwind,now guards lol.
Spacing..first go back and check how big the area of the flame is.Katyusha too has large AOE.U just talk random bullshit.
See soviet casts,very few even bother teching..they just stay with zis and cons.They know nothing ost has that can counter..no artillery..locked out behind T4.Then outcomes 2 is-2 in quick succession..gg.
Ofcourse u stopped building shocks,they were not Op enough for u..now u switched to PTRS bullshit.Well u have relic's blessing....keep rolling.
If you're having trouble with opponents who stall for an is2, start grinding out matches using that strat. Eventually you'll encounter an opponent who'll wreck you. Save that replay, study it, then do what he did. Is2s are strong but they are absolutely beatable. |
This comment is fairly amateurish and seems to ignore completely, the fact that MG42's can't reposition. The pack-up animation is REALLY long, and the unit walks slowly, that you're going to be overwhelmed by the allied player. Especially if he has shocks (which have smoke!). Regardless of the allied unit, as soon as you see smoke, the best option is to retreat or lose the MG outright. This is the case, 99% of the time.
Did you just call a top ten player "amateurish?" Wow. Just. Wow. Speaking of "amateurish" you're aware that you can overlap your MG with another's arc of fire, right? |

Campy games are boring to watch and not fun to play. Regardless, CoH2 is very defense friendly. Compare it to SC2 where games can be decided in 5 mins. |
