How to get troops to attack

left click on the troop, right click on the enemy

I asked my father how he could actually attack the enemy( he fought in Burma against the Japanese). He said he was more scared of letting his sergeant and mates down than he was of the enemy.

Mom, angrily: "If your friend told you to jump off a cliff would you follow him?!"


Me and the boys going into combat together:

Lindybeige's childhood must've been hella violent. Every sentence that starts with, "remember when you were a lad on the playground..." involves fighting, bullying, or threatening characters lol

Imagine being Lindybeige's neighbor and just listening to the man talk none stop for an hour about ways to get someone to kill the other for an hour.

In between seeing him wearing authentic armour and wielding ancient weapons.

"If you just have a load of privates there, they don't do anything." That pretty much sums my military career right there.

Its always damn impressive how you just talk to the camera for so long with so much knowledge without cuts

“They stand for everything we don’t stand for. Also, they told me you guys look like dorks.”

One of the advices we have from back in the Viking ages is to seek friends, long time friends, when you go to battle, fight with them, they are more likely to back you up, they are more likely not to sell you out for their own benefit etc.... It was written as the 11th. rune, Jara or year in English, in Odin's Troll songs.
"If I am going to unpeace, look for long time friends, under the shield I scream and they go to battle with strength, unharmed to the fight, unharmed from the fight, unharmed all the way."

16:24 As a former paratrooper, I'll explain the concept of how stealing air actually works in layman's terms: Parachutes create air resistance by trapping air in the canopy. This creates a low pressure zone directly above the canopy, so the lower jumper always has the right of way. When a higher jumper enters the lower jumper's right of way, they will steal the lower jumper's air because the higher jumper's canopy will collapse, causing them to drop and become the lower jumper, and this process will repeat itself until one jumper manages to pull a slip and get out of the way or until both jumpers hit the ground at higher than optimal speed, potentially causing serious injury. If both jumpers are nearby at the same altitude, they won't steal each other's air, but there is a risk that the canopies will become entangled. If the canopies become hopelessly entangled, then the procedure is for the higher jumper to climb down to the lower jumper, because military parachutes are designed to carry two jumpers 'safely' to the ground.

"The World smells of 'paint"? That reminds me of the military dictum, "If it moves, salute it. If it doesn't, paint it."

22:00 I think the greater willingness of Elite Units to engage is also partly because the troops in these units consider themselves as Elite as well, and thus the esprit de corps encourages them to initiate violence.

Imagine having Lindybeige as a history teacher in school

An important piece of information about the Milgram experiment is that the instructor didn't just say: "carry on, it's perfectly safe", they actually had to threaten people and get quite loud and angry to make sure that most continued. I believe only around 15% percent went to fatal on their own, the rest had to be coerced with increasing levels of intensity

During the siege of fort Eben-Emael, the pistol armed paratroopers managed to disable and capture europe's largest fort outnumbered 8 to 1. Their leader was not present at the battle but they never deviated from their plan. These men were selected for their bravery, guess it payed off.

Then, these 78 men defended the captured fort against another 500 for about 24 hours straight until reinforcements arrived. All of them received a medal except one guy who was found having hard liquor in his water bottle.

Here were the odds:
The 700 or so belguim soldiers knew about the attack ahead of time. The 78 paratroopers had to use glider planes that were never used before in the history of war. They had no escape plan and carried moslty only pistols because they had to carry explosives to disable the fort. It's like you and your buddy trying to take a police station hostage for a whole day by landing on the roof. If you would ask a regular soldier to undertake this mission, he would think the joke is bad.

"How do you get guys to close with the enemy?!"


Meth.
You give them Meth.
