So I was walking on campus today, and I randomly heard a live orchestra band performing this. I don’t even know where it came from, they finished before I could track down them down. I am certain it was live though. 

My faith is restored in my school.

kendeaton:

Yep.

Lithuania’s some serious shit, man. 

comradegunnar:

We couldn’t get past normal cpus in eastern front(note that normal cpus are a LOT harder in eastern front than in vanilla coh) so we decided to switch doctrines. Me with urban combat and berto with breakthrough and we destroyed fritz with LITTLE resistance, and whatever resistance there was met our AT guns.

I friggin LOVED this mod. You guys should really try Normandy 1944 as well. Although there aren’t any Russians as of yet, it completely changes the dynamics of the game. 

For starters, all squad sizes are correct, as in about 10 men with a leader, machinegunner, etc.

In addition, doctrines have been thrown out the window in favor of regiments and divisions. When you start the game, you chose from three “parent” units. 

For the Americans, for example, you can choose from the 29th Infantry Division, 101st Airborne, or 2nd Armored Division. Its notable that you can only build certain units depending on which one you choose, as in, 101st ONLY deploys infantry, and no Shermans, only a couple of tank destroyers. The number of units you can deploy is limited as well with hard caps, to get more units you need to do the next step:

You choose one of an ADDITIONAL three “sub” doctrines. These are other divisions or regiments that historically fought alongside the “parent” unit. These will unlock further unit types (if you choose a different type of unit). For example, if you choose the 2nd Armored Division, you can then choose the 702nd Tank Destroyer Batallion (more tank destroyers), the 82nd Armored Reconnaissance Battalion (enhanced recon), or the 2nd Free French Armored Division (more tanks in general). So basically, if you choose 2nd AD and 702 TD’s, you’ll be able to deploy Shermans and Tank Destroyers. If you go 2nd AD and 2nd Free French, you’ll be able to produce a larger amount of Shermans than any other route. 

If you don’t pick combat engineers, you can’t build defenses. All nations get emplacements (MG’s, Howizters, etc.) if they do have engineers.  

This is the same case for all armies.

I’ll show all the allied combinations, just to whet your appetite.

U.S.

29th Infantry Division
>1st Infantry “Big Red One” Division (more infantry, with combat engineer support)
>2nd Ranger Batallion (elite infantry)
>113th Cavalry Recon Squadron (recon and infiltration)

101st Airborne Division
>82nd Airborne Division (more paras)
>327th Glirder Infantry Regiment (gliders!)
>6th Airborne Division (UK) (British paras and light armor)

2nd Armor Division
>82nd Armored Reconnaissance Battalion
>702nd Tank Destroyer
>2e Division Blindee

UK

XXX Corps (Which incorporates the 50th Infantry DIvision, 69th Infantry Brigade, and some motorized infantry form the 7th AD)
>7th Armored Division “Desert Rats” (More tanks)
>VIII Corps (Tanks, mechanized infantry, and combat engineers)
> 51st Highlander Infantry Division (Elite Infantry)

6th Airborne Division
>6th ABD (recon) and 1st Canadian Para Regiment (Canadian paras and recon and light armor)
>4th Special Service Brigade (Royal Marine Commandos) with 4th Free French SAS (Elite inflitrators)
>1st ABD with Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade (More paras)

Canadian 3rd Infantry Division
>2nd Armoured Brigade (Armor, mobile arty, AT)
>1st Polish Armored Division (Armor and infantry and engineers)
>4th Armored Brigade/2nd Canadian ID (Balanced)


I would usually play US 2nd Armored with the Free French 2nd Armored, or the 3th Canadian with the 1st Polish Armored. 6th British Paras along with the 1st Polish Parachute was really fun too.

I wish the assholes that speak about how “horrible” and “inhuman” the IDF is, actually see the whole picture.
It is hard to fight an enemy that insists in using little kids and women as human shields. What kind of cowards do that? Well, all the fucking jihadi assholes do it. They are so fucking coward that they don’t event have the courage to go head to head with us infidels.

Fuck them. Fuck Hamas, fuck them all.

And next time you read in the news something about an Israeli soldier supposedly killing civilians, check the whole picture first. Verify. Most likely you will find that it was either staged by the terrorists or a motherfucker coward threw a little kid into the firefight.

The same happened non-stop in Iraq and in the Astan.

Cowards.

^THIS. I love the IDF. I think they’re the shit.. I just wish people understood that they have to fight for their survival every day. They’re surrounded by people who want to kill them and try to kill them on a daily basis. Keep doing your thing, Israel. I’d come over and help myself if I could.

I’m going to be pedantic and say it should be a Scar-L CQB. 5.56 magazines are curved, distinct from their heavier, straight 7.62 cousins.

I got this Tattoo after my twin brother died. He committed suicide after three tours in the Middle East with the US Army. I had his name badge tattooed right where I put my hand over my heart for the Pledge of Allegiance. Every pledge is a tribute to his service and sacrifice.
