@Jake Ryan Well... It sorta is. I mean, if you count all the way from 1943, that's the war for the Germans. Low on resources and fighting a losing battle against the Russian spam of tanks, artillery and men. Backed against a wall and became sitting ducks, fighting a losing defensive war towards Berlin (The wall)
Well to be fair Australia only recieved around 1/4 of the amount of prisoners the British colonies in America recieved but hey I guess facts don't matter cause murica
"As fun as it is to use prisoners as meatshields, I don't think this video would be complete if I didnt at least pay some mention to the true war criminals here." Was expecting to see you switch to US Forces.
Yeah you’re thinking of the Germans because the 203mm gun has a a stupidly long range but also has a very long reload time but if you are able to get them to veteran 1 for precision strike and get multiple of them you can konigstigers insanely quickly
Soviets took their own document that was very similar to Geneva convention, but with a few differences. They just thought they dont need to sign it because they already participated in the Hague conference. And, unlike Germany, USSR followed it and was humane with the captives.
Космический Кисик I do hope you realize that (according to the Soviet government) that at least 1 million out of the 3 million POWs that were taken died in captivity.
@@cornvuscornax4719 I do hope you realize, that Germany ignoring Geneva convention (THAT THEY SIGNED BY THE WAY) resulted in 3.3 to 3.5 million deaths of soviet captives. German captives in USSR died mostly due to damage to the USSR economic due to the war where USSR had problems with providing enough food to the captives. P.S. According to Soviet government around 356 678 german captives died. 1 million out of 3 is estimated by western historicians.
@Mr Meow "after Barbarossa they had a lot of Soviet pow and just send them home." What the fuck are you talking about, Germany didn't send any captives back to USSR ever. "Soviets did nothing, but rape their way through Europe." Sure, of course. Its an exaggerated stereotype that have been around to first show to german citizens that "soviets are monsters beware them" and then it just transferred to western europe and USA as part of anti-soviet propaganda. "German pow in Soviet captivity had like a 2% survival rating." German captives death ratio, even by western historicians, is estimated as 33%, even so, it's still not accurate and is being disputed by both western and russian historicians. And again, if Germany mistreated soviet captives on purpose, USSR did it unintentionally, it happened due to problems with economy due to german invasion, USSR couldn't supply captives with enough food sometimes, so most german captive deaths were due to lack of supply.

5:17 Imperial Guardsmen are the most effective in all forms of war. Especially wars of attrition versus a better equipped enemy that also has "logistics."
I've got 1500 hours in this game, and this is considered a fact: the Soviet AI, in ANY difficulty can almost always win another AI of similar power in a different faction. We don't know why, it is just the most dangerous of all five factions. It has beat actual teams of players in expert.
When you play against the AI and they are hard or expert, they automatically get higher fuel, munitions, and manpower throughout the entire game. It gives the illusion that the enemy is harder, but its just a cheap gimmick allowing them to constantly pump out more shit at a faster rate than you ever could even if you have more territory than the AI. Plus the AI can see you through the fog of war at all times so they automatically know where all your units are placed.
Penal battalion = satchel charge spam. Just stockpile the prisoners at a centralized location. And then bum rush with satchel charges. Its a perfect strategy.......if the enemy doesnt piss on you with MG42s and the flamethrower... Or anything else. Its totally fine I promise.

Just in time for next episode of my favorite series. However, I still don't know, if it is called prefect balance as all thing should be or rather war criminals: just burn them boiz.
Hey, Valefisk, there's a thing called "Intel Bulletins" which give small yet important buffs, and there is a specific one that reduces the construction time of conscripts by 10% (as well as Grenadiers and Panzer Grenadiers but we don't care about that), and there's also a mod that increases the maximum population up to 500. What I'm saying is that you should combine the two for maximum conscript spam.
@11:40 Just an FYI, thats not how it works. When you lose vision on points the map will not update wether or not the point has been taken. The only point that the map will update the status of regardless of vision are VP's(The ones with stars). So even though the points appear white on the map chances are the enemy has capped them.
During WW1, the Empire of Russia kept careful count of how much ammunition and guns it had. No one ever bothered to count the military levies ( conscripts ). Oftentimes levies had no weapons, or ammunition.
Vale, if you play as the US, and have a crew leave the tank, it will allow you to spawn more tanks. If you recrew the tank you had left, you can go over the population cap
About the "Uncontested map" part(11:39 - 11:52): 1)It was neutral(white) because you didn't recon these points when the Soviets took it, you cannot know whose point this is if you didn't check with the units or any other piece. 2)You were on Annihilation, that's why they didn't win, if you had the Star-points and the took 'em, you would know and lose at that point, I hope I do not have to explain what Annihilation is.
