Come on, if you want strategy go for boardgames or wargames ;)

As long as war games don't glorify war crimes or overtly celebrate violence, I support them. I'm not going to play the new Call of Duty: WWII game because the trailers and gameplay footage make it clear that it is a a game that misrepresents WWII and is filled with propaganda-like scenes and characters that glorify the conflict. If a war game came out and featured a playable German campaign set in WWII I would support that game, and would love to play it, as long as it stayed neutral in its representations of the forces and the developers were dedicated to representing the battles and factions as accurately as possible with no glorification of any side. Basically, I don't enjoy any form of media that is propaganda, or that is overtly insensitive or inaccurate, those types of media are intrinsically insulting to me when they misrepresent real conflicts where real people suffered and died. I love playing war games, and I'm an avid gamer, but I have ethical standards. Good video, and thanks for continuing to create great content!

Haha don't get me started! From an Aussie's perspective at the outbreak our professional army was in Africa leaving only our reserve units, We lost a whole division in Singapore thanks to Percival's incompetence however we (Aussies) liberated Papua New Guinea practically by ourselves and our navy won the respect of the Americans so not bad for a small country, Not real knowledgeable on the English or New Zealand. It was 95%+ America however it was not only America like the propaganda reads. As for movies spot on there, The only 2 films (actually miniseries) I respect for accuracy are Band of Brothers and the Pacific. Worth a look if you ever get a break from answering comments on 4 different platforms lol

yeah, Band of Brothers & Pacific are also my favorite "films", I think the main issue with movies is that they can't go into proper character development in combination with the historical setting, even if it is just one battle, it will feel rushed. Watched them already ;) Pacific about 1 - 2 years ago and Band of Brothers 2-3 times. Although it seems that in Band of Brothers there are various wrong depictions, since the book it is based on, was done rather sloppy. (I think there is a great review on it on amazon.)

Will check that review out, but for once it is good to see wounded being properly shown, As well as giving the viewer a great feeling of being under fire. I often wonder if the deeds of Captain Spears are accurate or exaggerated. Then again some crazy impossible stuff happens in war
