wagner group has updated its phone app that it uses to give its troops commands with
a point system and leader boards for all its units so that the various squads within wagner can compete for higher scores
they have even stolen mapping assets from the gaming company OWI's video game squad to mark friendly and enemy units live
the waypoints have even been turned into capture points that will add score points to the squads within
russia has literally gamified war
I mean it’s just more wasted resources and time for something that’ll get them killed, so ok
i can just imagine this leading russian zoommies to take more risky missions for that leaderboard dopamine hit
Yeah, probably why they did it in the first place
pretty smart actually if you think about this is just russian pokemon go except the pokemon are ukrainians that can actually kill you
I mean they know they’re going to loose, so it’s just more crab bucket shit so everyone can suffer
basically trying to put out the fire by adding fuel so it burns bigger brighter faster kek
It’s all they know unfortunately, a country made of bitter hatred for everyone who finally has no support because even they managed to turn the good will of the west against them.
like pottery
It smashes really well?
russia is like war it never changes
I dunno I think snake was right when he said it has, though it might just be more the METHODS of war have than the concept..
kek true
Shame we can’t see mechs romping around ukraine, but hey we got drones and fricking turrets now so that’s cool
yeah
literally what? qrd
tl:dr the particular group of Savages the series concerns are essentially a bunch of rich and famous people stuffed into a starship that fricked off into the void for a few millennia. Their society advanced based on scientific progress with no moral restraints and they all eventually end up as brains-in-jars (to preserve calories) that are kept in a VR reality when they're not piloting advanced combat bodies (the ones shown essentially have them permanently as kids in the 80s hanging out around an arcade). When they enter combat, the interface is an ultra-gamified setup where they're given their objectives like it's in a videogame. Reinforcements are treated like killstreak rewards and good performance unlocks prizes (for example a free night with a certain virtual escort, with different tiers based on performance), complete with loot box-style fanfare when they're the one that completes the mission objective.
They see it as a game or competition, but from the regular non-Savage perspective, it's a bunch of hopped up techno-freaks brutally slaughtering their way through your buddies at breakneck speed so that the civilian populace can be kidnapped be experimented on and/or melted into nutrient goo.
Until the regular humans built an ultra-elite military force to deal with them, the only way to effectively stop a Savage invasion was to sacrifice the planet they land on by setting off a kind of nuke that basically ignites the entire atmosphere.
It's been a hot minute since I read the series, but that should be the basic gist.
holy fricking dystopia
russia really does take ques from the most evil degenerate shit
hope ukraine finishes what napoleon and hitler couldn't
Nobody remembers the swedes either
Why can't the good guys just win
cant believe i forgot about that the battle of poltava was pretty lit
Poltava is just utter tragedy, combined with ritual militaristic suicide
charles was a feisty bastard that didnt know when to give up kek
>The you get attackers advantage ratio backwards
>Still try anyways
Bless those boys that attacked those redoubts despite it all
the stories of him hanging out in the ottoman empire were pretty funny
Can't say I know much about his time after Poltava with the ottomans, I will inquire
its a good watch studied about all these older wars when i was on a black powder craze
>Charles XII
Good riddance, I'm glad he got blown the frick out by Danish-Norwegian grapeshot at Fredrikshald.

18th century warfare and politics is a fascinating thing that's still so grossly misunderstood by most despite being so modern
Bare litt nordisk broderlig kjærlighet ;^)
Interesting fact about his death, it wasn't until fairly recently the myth about his death was solved. It was deduced that the projectile that killed him was a steel projectile which at time was only fired as grapeshot from a cannon. Muskets at the time used lead projectiles and the X-rays showed no signs of lead residue in his skull. You can read about it here: https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/1/5/pgac234/6758520
I might also add that I really love Konungens Likfärd in Swedish. It has quite the impact to it
right even earlier than that right through the renaissance as well things were rapidly modernizing

>Nobody remembers the swedes either
they were never realistically gonna conquer russia, just maybe make them sign a humiliating treaty if things went better for them
Napoleon never explicitly tried to plant one of his cronies on the Russian throne but you wouldn't put it past him, meanwhile Hitler quite obviously was trying to conquer all of European Russia at least.
Oh the writing was on the wall, marching to Moscow at all was a mistake
Although really the political climate of the early 18th century hampering potential support from allies is what truly cost the Swedish cause
imagine using lagdroid and ijeet shit for life-and-death situations
yeah
I see someone read the Savage Wars trilogy and immediately identified with the degenerate post-human psychopaths.
I mean they’re trying their hardest to be those degenerate post humans
did they do this same shit in the books?
>quickly decide it's much easier to hack the apk and
>within a week 20 squads all have perfect scores and claim to have captured all of Ukraine
dont you mean poland
That´s honestly a fricking great idea and a useful application of augumented reality tech without some stupid facebook googles.
actually surprised it wasn't done sooner
Id like to see this, both to see if it is acrually real which feels doubtful and how it would function
sounds completely moronic fake and gay just like russia so i completely believe its true
Is this true?
Upload the apk
Source?
Where do I download this meme app? Also do they have any servers for north American players?
This sounds like an awful idea.
Sabotage from the inside maybe?
not to russia
Russian's literally implemented stalker call of chernobyl stalker hiscores into real life. The zone just got cooler sdalger
