    I wonder what war looks like in their heads. Is it a fps shooter? A HOI campaign perhaps? Do they seriously believe soldiers just charge at each other?

      It may be related to what space exploration looks like in their heads.

      A vehicle lands on a desolate planet, serenaded by LE EPIC HANS ZIMMER music, and amid the BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM, humans transcend and become godlike and win the science victory. Roll credits. so-true

      In this particular case I’d say FPS or TPS. You can guess HOI foos by their fart-sniffing “strategic analysis”

        As someone who occasionally plays Advance Wars competitively, anyone who’s played a map with snow knows how much it stops offensives. These people are below a children’s strategy game at this point.

        EDIT: These people don’t even know that Putin will just activate his CO power and make all the Ukranian units lose 2 hp and lose half their movement due to the snow.

          Yeah… I really should try getting into Advance Wars more, it’s a fun game but I have issues with abandoning games…

      As low as the bar is, I feel like a HOI campaign is actually a step beyond their strategy at this point.
