Glad to see the Dutch holding the lines as if they are being led by some un-seeable, all-knowing force that is obviously a better commander than their own commanders. 
Good Update!
Good Update!
The realm rejoices as Paradox Interactive announces the launch of Crusader Kings III, the latest entry in the publisher’s grand strategy role-playing game franchise. Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.
Don't worry, my update speed is bound to be much slower once I start University in March.Besides, your AAR is much better researched than mine.
Aye...As I probably said before, Univeristy life will certainly eat away a lot of your time.![]()
IMHO fighting spirit is not so much a matter of experience but rather proper motivation prior to battle. The Dutch, just liken the Belgians are fighting for their very survival as a nation and their homeland. What better motivation is there?Good to see the Dutch still have some fighting spirit, even though they have no war for more than a century.![]()
You're sure right. However for fighting spirit I must sadly say doesn't meant much when someboy drives a panzer right in front of your doorstep.IMHO fighting spirit is not so much a matter of experience but rather proper motivation prior to battle. The Dutch, just liken the Belgians are fighting for their very survival as a nation and their homeland. What better motivation is there?
indeed. in fact from what i've read about the belgian army, contrary to how they are portrayed in the game, they could have probably held the germans long enough to 'blunt the spear', so to speak, and allow an allied counter-attack. of course, they'd have needed better leadership, organisation, and readiness. i may be wrong but my understanding of the whole invasion of france, and of blitzkrieg as a whole, is that it relied on constant motion and surprise, helped by healthy portions of fear and confusion. hit the enemy, keep hitting him, never give him a chance to consolidate his position, and overwhelm his armies before they have much of a chance to fight back. when the allies managed to halt them they caused quite heavy casualties - so i think that if the belgians for instance had held them for a few weeks the operation would have failed or been reduced to a slogging match. someone tell me if i'm talking out of my arseIMHO fighting spirit is not so much a matter of experience but rather proper motivation prior to battle.

Just catching up dear boy, I try not to comment on things I haven't read.If El Pip ever comes back here he can probably tell you, but AFAIK your're pretty much dead on.
I know I am quite weird.heh, that was very weird, but quite cool to learn a little bit more about you: namely how insane you clearly are.
i must however clear up one piece of slander: Felix did NOT die in Licence to Kill. Not the version i've watched anyway. wasnt he happy and smiling in a wheelchair at the end?
obviously at the same time as the extensive plastic surgery was in progress to change his face for about the sixth time, and his skin colour they also whipped him up some new legsHe effectively died though, as he wasn't seen again until the relaunch as he lost a limb.
Well, I don't consider the relaunched Bonds as a part of the Series, so Leiter was effectively Mission-killed. Sad thing that.obviously at the same time as the extensive plastic surgery was in progress to change his face for about the sixth time, and his skin colour they also whipped him up some new legsoh, and they also sent him back in time... and oh its very confusing
