Thrawn is Rommel (laudatory) vs Thrawn is Rommel (derogatory)

gotta say, as a dedicated UCCer it is *wild* to read what other people think Calvinism is because that just does not gel with my experience at all

my proudest Bit is an early modern world that just overthrew its king and is busily reenacting the worst excesses of the Reign of Terror in internecine struggle but is also terrified of an Imperial intervention and so everyone is absurdly motivated to Not Fuck With The Tithe of guard regiments

I do this but with the US in HoI4; spend the entire early game building up a perfectly accurate OOB across all three services, get to Pearl Harbor, lose interest two months into the war, and go play a different game

made a couple lame jokes last year about following two generations of family tradition (WWI and II) after the AfD made some slight gains. I never thought I'd be called upon to follow in their footsteps at home instead, and in those of a Civil War vet ancestor too.

To your point though a lot of officers during and after the war felt those trimmed-down organizations lacked sufficient staying power in combat and relied on attachments to an excessive degree

I mean tbf this was a huge cause celebre for McNair and Army Ground Forces, they cut personnel they saw as extraneous to the unit’s mission ruthlessly during T/O&E revisions in 1942-43
