well i do not want to earn a reputation as the patron who always asks for tangents or never stays on task, but there is a topic involving artillery in which I have recently become interested. I understand if you do not reply, or simply are not looking for random people to suggest topics, but here goes: - I immensely enjoyed reading "War in the East: A Military History of the Russo-Turkish War 1877-78 by Quintin Barry". One recurring theme among all arms, but especially artillery, was the general superiority of Russian weaponry... except for the small percentage of the Ottoman arsenal that had recently been upgraded with Krupp purchases (and advisors). In particular, it was found that dispersing the superior Krupp guns in dribbles to other artillery units ended up having a profound effect - as the longer range (than older Ottoman arty) Russian guns tried to get into position, the few Krupp guns could open fire when the Russians were still out of their range. Expert witnesses on hand said the damage was minor and if the massed russian artillery had simply pressed through it and blasted the Ottoman positions, the day would have been won easily. But, no surprise, even "regular" troops do not like the psychological impact of being shot at, in the open, slowly moving heavy objects, with no way to return fire. The result more often than not, was a full retreat. I would love to see any discussion of Krupp weapons, especially sales to foreign powers and the almost morbid use of british, german and european observers who watched to see how deadly they were and jotted notes impassionately. But also anything regarding non-combat or psychological effects of artillery, especially Krupp or other superior platforms for their time and place. thanks for reading this long mess.

Krupp weapons unlikely to happen, I might have an article on it, so it could happen, but it likely would be not about this conflict / incident I guess. About the psychological effect, I actually took notes and collected some quotes while doing this video, since they fit into a bigger picture of other conflicts in that regard. Might be a video at one point.
