      No you don’t understand, bro, the Nazis would’ve totally won WW2, if it wasn’t for bad RNG. They should’ve just reloaded an old save

      Basically there are:

      roman empire bros;

      Napoleonic wars bros (aka napoleon simps);

      People that thinks that having 4000 hours into EU4/HOI4/insert paradox game here makes him a genious of strategy and war economy;

      Weebs and edgy teenagers obcessed by ficticious weapons/ unpractical fancy or exotic weapons that nobody uses anymore;

      “No guys trust me, i just like the tanks, the weapons, the planes and the strategys used by the third reich, i am not an nazi bro trust me bro”.

      Rascist assholes who think that a bunch of white people with fucking guns beating natives with spears and bows is peak strategy;

      Sun Tzu memers who never actually read the book and only use his name on youtube comment memes.

      I don’t get the crab claws bit, the anvil bit and “creative assembly” bit. Help, please?

        The anvil probably refers to melee weapons, insinuating that armchair generals perceive war as a fantasy game. Creative Assembly is the “Total War” franchise developer. I couldn’t find anything about the crab claws, except for a reference to a weapon in Monster Hunter(?).

        The anvil could be a reference to ‘hammer and anvil’ maneuver: One force used to pin the enemy down, and another to defeat them via encirclement. Would be effective irl against police riot squads, but the Antifa kids in the mass-protests loathed any semblance of leadership and coordination… but I digress XD

        “Pincer maneuver” - a favourite of all armchair generals.
