Current turn : BLUFOR

>What is Operation PSSing Contest?
A wargame where the cities of Portland, Seattle and San Francisco declare their independence from the United States, forming the PSS. BLUFOR sends First Army (I Corps : 1st, 2nd and 3rd Divs; II Corps : 4th, 5th and 6th Divs; III Corps : 7th, 8th and 9th Divs) to deal with the threat and retake Portland, Seattle and San Francisco; PSS controls REDFOR (I Corps : 1st, 2nd and 3rd Divs; II Corps : 4th, 5th and 6th Divs) to hold their territories and rout BLUFOR.
>How does the thread structure work?
Odd threads are threads where we plan BLUFOR's actions, while even threads are where we plan REDFOR's actions. The goal is to reach some form of consensus for that side's COA by thread death. Establish a COA for each division, otherwise that division will be deemed to not have done anything for the turn. Use the map to plan your actions, take a screenshot and add it to your post (read-only link optional) where you detail your plan. Posts without images will not be considered as proposals. If using the map is not comfortable for you, use whatever image editing software you're comfortable with.

Someone come up with a better OP, this is serviceable for now but I think there's room for improvement.
Current issues :
>How long would "a turn" last, timewise? A day? A week? A month? Variable?
>The map I put in the OP is currently set to Edit and Overwrite because it's pretty barebones and I want other people to improve on it, but I think next OPs should use an Edit and Copy link instead. Once consensus is reached, OP drops the Edit and Overwrite link, the person making the next thread applies the agreed upon changes and inserts the Edit and Copy link in their OP.
>Gotta establish territories and frontlines, and actually determine where each division is stationed.

>HALT!
If you see this thread you suddenly awaken to find yourself shackled in a dimly lit room, arrayed about are 61 other /k/ommandos
>A masked man approaches each of you in turn and asks you to choose your weapon
Copy paste the list and cross out your weapon

How much is bird or buckshot in 5.45 and 7.62 cartridges going to suck? Ukrainian outlets are reporting on russian attempts to do this for "anti-FPV" ammo. In the prep videos you can see that they're manually crimping each one.

Interesting article posted by Andriy Tarasenko. English in replies:
In the Russian Federation, they have begun to try to understand the experience of the failed use of tanks during the war. The official publication of the Russian Ministry of Defense, “Material and Technical Support,” published the article “ARMORED VEHICLES: ON ANALYSIS OF THEIR USE AT THE INITIAL STAGE.” Pages 19-21. There are a number of questions about what is written in the article, but nevertheless, the material is of some interest. https://files.catbox.moe/un1txe.pdf

Collating a list of quality Aircraft Youtubers for a /tg/ project, figured I'd ask /k/. I'd prefer older material for the most part, especially WW1, interwar, and pre-WW1.
Videos on AA systems would be welcome as well. Especially during the WW1 era, because how the fuck did that development process go down.
I am fine with recordings of powerpoint presentions. Thats what the USNA Museum and NationalWWIMuseum videos are afterall. The more dry and technical the better.

Currently have:
>Ed Nash's Military Matters
>Greg's Airplanes and Automobiles
>Military Aviation History
>Military History not Visualized
>Military History Visualized
>Militavia
>Mustard
>NationalWWIMuseum
>Not a Pound for Air to Ground
>Paper Skies
>Rex's Hangar
>WWII US Bombers
>USNA Museum (some naval aviation)
>Drachinifel (for carrier shit)
>Montemayor (doctrinal use in carrier battles)

A friend recommended the following, so I can't vouch for their quality:
>Building the last B-36 (holy schizo)
>driving 4 answers (mostly car engines but some aircraft)
>HypOps (cmano?)
>IHYLS
>Messier 82 (designing aircraft in games)
>New Mind (some are aircraft apparently?)

Channels I found looking around, mileage may vary:
>AgentJayZ (jet engines)
>C.W. Lemoine
>Ward Carroll
>X-planed

Channels that aren't high quality:
>HardThrasher
>Lazerpig
>Mark Felted
>The Operations Room

I'd also be up for reading books on aircraft development, especially early on, but its genuinely difficult to screen what books are good and what books are shit.

I doubt most of these were ever even used. Some of them look impractical as fuck. Like for example, what the hell is up with the khopesh

since /his/ is full of nonAmericans (not that /k/ is any better)
John Parker's revenge wasn't documented in writing, as far as we know, until 50 years after the battle happened, but archologists actually found the location of the battle and proof it happened, about 50 feet from the marker on battle road where people assumed it happened

In terms of how battles were actually fought, the American Revolutionary War is one of the least understood, and most erroneously depicted in popular media.

Open order formations, which moved at a running pace if need be, were common, even more so than rigid robotic lines which struggled on rough terrain. Soldiers were rational actors who used cover or went prone for protection. Smoothbores were not as comedically inaccurate as believed, and frequently used effectively out to 100 yards, and semi-effectively out to 300. Troops would fire at will as fast as they could, instead of taking turns with the enemy like a JRPG battle. Battles usually didn't end with a bloody melee, but with the other side being run off the battlefield. If you watch a hollywood movie of a musket-era battle, and think "why didn't they just ___?" the answer is usually that they did.

is the f-47 gonna use some shit like this?
