Obscure battles and unexpected outcome
>>64392188Red Puccia was busy in Eastern Europe and the Nips were trying to conquer China so it's not surprising neither them wanted to be stuck in a war over empty steppe.
Battle of the Crater at Petersburg 1864 should have been a fairly easy victory yet it fell flat on its ass
>>64392188Very weird tangent at the end of WWI, by one empire that seized to exist, one commie nation that was newly formed and not officially recognized by anyone, and neutral country that wasn't involved in WWI.It eventually lead to the newly formed League of Nations deciding that Åland belongs of Finland, which is pretty much the only formal decision ever made by the League of Nations that's still widely respected.
>>64392624>sabotages the entire operation and causes thousands of unnecessary Union deaths just to make sure Burnside doesn't get any credit for ending the warHow this guy wasn't executed as a wrecker I will never understand
>>64392633Makes me think of Napoleon's marshalls in that way. Willing to kill your men to make another general look bad or let a battle fail to make another general look bad
>>64392632>1 Swede shot himselfThey've been on a path of self destruction since 1709
>>64392632>1 dead due to suicideOh Sweden.
>>64392654>>64392659DESU, if I had to spend like 8 months trapped on some bullshit islands in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by krauts, pidors, and moomin-commies, I'd probably shoot myself too.
>>64392188>Obscure
"Bro, wake up and grab your rifle! We've got to help a dozen of half-trained soldiers protect the royal family from 100+ heavily armed German paratroopers!"
>>64392666Get behind me Satan
>>64392188>Obscure battlesBattle of Palmdale.USAF F-89 vs F6F drone>drone winshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Palmdale
>>64392604Considering the state of red army and the Japanese momentum in 1939, a japanese walkover was expectable.Also :>mongolian army
>>64392188https://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/USA-P-PI/USA-P-PI-17.htmlThe Battle of the Points during Bataan.Fighter pilots and other airmen from the US Army Air Corps are forced to fight as infantry with only five days of training against a Japanese battalion that had spent the last five years fighting in China. To literally everybody's surprise, the Airmen actually kick the fucking teeth out of the japs and kill them all to the last man using modified .50 cal aircraft machine guns, Bren Gun Carriers, and becoming the first American unit to conduct an amphibious assault in the war.
>>64392188every warthunder player knows this one

>>64393157In the drone's defense, the F-89 was a piece of shit.
>>64393716Bulgaria got uppity lol. Deservedly so, they punched way above their weight
>>64393157The best part about this is that in trying to shoot down the drone, the rocket spam caused a lot of damage to the local area.
>>64393716desu Bulgarian empires are always way too cocky for their own good>first fucked around and found out with byzantines>second fucked around and found out with ottomans>third fucked around and found out with the entire rest of the balkans
