If anyone's wondering HOW we got the brilliant James Holland and David Willey to take part in this, I honestly don't know. Still, it was a laugh and they were both utterly brilliant.
"They charge a cavalry division that _they'd forgotten they had_ " Quite amazing that you got these historians to say these hilarious things. You two never fail to impress. But fr, it's so easy to forget units in strategy games
Reminds me of the concept of Narrative Levels from the SCP Foundation. HOI4 is down 1 narrative level from us, same for fiction stories and such. The question is, are we in a Narrative Level? For Christians like myself, we believe so, we are living a narrative that was planned before existence existed. A narrative in which we make smaller narratives through fiction, and these lower narratives can have even lower narratives. Like a fictional story having more fictional stories inside it. In the HOI4 world, Ernest Hemingway probably writes For Whom The Bell Tolls, inspired by their version of the Spanish Civil War. So that's 2 narrative levels down from us.
@@hedgeearthridge6807 So would Fueherreich, which is based off a "If the Allies won the First Weltkreig" story in Kaiserreich be two or three levels below us?
Good show sir, can't believe you managed to get James Holland there, I was just reading his book "Brothers in arms". Thanks for brightening my day with your quirky comedy!
Some say he built 10 factories in a year, and that he thought speed limit on the auutobahn was daft. All we know is, he's not squire he's squire's German cousin.
From the days of you and bullet in a shed you guys have come a long way. Been incredibly exciting to see the progress and laugh along the way. Loved the video and can’t wait for what’s next.
"can only be described as slightly arrogant French tank tactics!" Hearing David Willey say that is so surreal and made me laugh for 10 minutes straight.
How on earth you got David Willey to sit down and do what is basically a HoI4 shit-post i will never understand, but that sure is impressive and im so incredibly happy it happened!
i was having a really bad day until your notification on RUclips suddenly appeared , and this video really made me put a smile on my face so thank you for creating these amazing and awesome videos and also for cheering up people , keep up the hard work
Another magnificent production to brighten the day! I’ve got a Biology mock exam tomorrow, and this will be sure to help me mentally get through it in one piece! Good show old boy!
I love the concept of the people in HOI4 living a sort of Groundhog Day. Over and over, living and dying, experiencing the war in different ways every time you play, and being reset the next time. Kinda horrible if you think about it that way. Also, being a gun nerd, the new props look FANTASTIC
I can now count on Squire to bring RUclips's favourite military history channels together. I can almost see David Willey trying his best not to laugh. Quoting another person in the comments, he makes this sound like actual history.
honestly, this is basically what happens. i love the part where britain gets paris with a cavalry division that they forgot they had and that france forgot to deploy troops
I love the tank museum guys. I would love to meet them. I thoroughly enjoyed how he just told the story of Agincourt for Agincourt part 2, yet since the names are the same it would apply for both centuries of war.
And then u question what’s real until you hear Japan had to go to bed and the video ends and then you realize it wasn’t a real documentary and there’s no need to panic about trying to recall whether or not you’re a party member
As an actual lord in Scotland I like what established is doing. It gives the land a purpose again. my land just has a decaying husk of a castle I hope someone some day rebuilds it. Because castles are cool
Utterly shocked by James Holland's frightened deer staring in the headlights. I guess by then, his family were still in The Tower to ensure his cooperation.
I keep finding myself back here watching these hoi4 videos. You guys all made one hell of a team! Having both James Holland, and David Willey mixed in with the trademark satire of the channel, it was absolute genius! Not to mention, they both gave it a kind of "legitimate" feel that just can't be found anywhere else!
@@elitely6748 I'm not saying Squire is at that level yet, but they could be good mentors if Squire wants to go into historical farce as a career choice.
@@wbertie2604 Yeah that's true, honestly knowing so many details on a battle war, or even a dress uniform can make all the difference. And not be some terrible hollywood content.
Loved the Churchill speech. Also, great fun to see James Holland and David Willey talking absolute nonsense with great seriosity. The idea of "lightning war" against the Siegfrid Line was pretty hillarious. And what is it? Doing nothing and waiting for heavy tanks to come in and bust their way through heavy defenses against Germany, which never built any heavy tanks, because why would they? Obviously, Adolf got accepted to arts academy so there is no "Wunderwaffe" guy around to come up with crazy demands like the "Maus". Then, you cannot finish, because the guy in the multiplayer playing the "land of the rising sun" has to go to bed. Really great writing and acting in this one.
@@SquireComedy Indeed sir, mere propaganda of the Squidoen Empire. As one lovely chap once put, propaganda as convincing as a North Korean Missile launch.
"Though once again Britain forgot to deploy RAF" I was laughing my ass off when i heard that as someone who constantly forgot that i have an airforce i can relate to that
So I was somewhat torn between praising the advert, praising the idea of main video, praising the props department of Squire Movie Productions LLC, praising Squire for getting James Holland to act in his movie, praising the clusterfuck (pardon my USAnian language) of Dunkirk Day when all out of sudden I have seen David Willey giving a straight faced description of Second Battle of Agincourt, that also had Archers taking part in it. Brilliant!
Ngl it's amazing how much effort went into this, I think you could have added more Easter eggs, for example something from the last dlc like Polish Cossack king or fino-Estonia.
True story! Hoi4 non historical focuses is a great thought experiment of what would have happened had world leaders during ww2 had no regard for reason, logic, history, or self preservation!
I love that around 12:41 squire’s voice over makes it sound like bill is talking about the British heavy tanks and yet as an alien capable of understanding German he is talking about breakfast and I think I heard something about the autobahn or “science fiction” as we call it since Germany was invaded in 1941 before it could be built because hitler was too busy designing a new panzer division template
Ahh, Prat & Sons. Remarkable how you guys carried on after the "we regret to inform you" letter about Captain Darling came through back in the Great War; I hear he was keen to marry Doris when he got back.
Great stuff Squire. Seeing James Holland and David Willey smirking while providing historical expertise is just hilarious. Gerald von Krautman's accent is unusual though...
Squire is a VERY convincing Oswald Mosley :D Great you got Willey and Holland. The way Willey just spurts out all that nonsense stoically and convincingly...bloody brilliant :-P
I am a fledgling RUclipsr EG( no followers lol ) and I consider you and a few other RUclipsrs as my guide for all things comedic. I wouldn't even mind seeing or in the future attempting a series of skits like this but from the US perspective, keep up the amazing job as this made my day infinitely brighter after the stress of car repairs.

I would not be surprised if there's a case of a war going less than smoothly because of a unit the command forgot.
Putin's probably gonna lose in Ukraine cuz he forgot to send a unit to capture Kyiv
UNLESS I PLAY AS MALTA
@@Hypogeal-Foundation bro the Malta grind goes hard
I know this line is a dig at players forgetting the units they have available but it happens surprisingly often in actual war history too
Getting James Holland is quite the Achievement.
He was well up for it!
What's not to like?
@@SquireComedy “Operational level specialist.” Haha, excellent.
@@SquireComedy Wars he a fan?
That was the best 😂
@@SquireComedy James Holland for James Holland…
James Holland and David Willey playing along . . . bloody brilliant!
All of the 100 years' war jokes were pretty brilliant for me too.

The second battle of Agincourt with it being the exact same as the first battle but with tanks was so funny haha
As well as the “English Civil War Two”.
3:26
Holy hell..I’ve seen this guy in ass loads of war documentaries
Yes. You certainly have!
From the days of you and bullet in a shed you guys have come a long way. Been incredibly exciting to see the progress and laugh along the way.
Loved the video and can’t wait for what’s next.
Thanks mate, means a great deal!
Hey where is that video
Everything from the sound effects, funny combat animations and cameos, this is a work of art.
Thanks, very kind!
"can only be described as slightly arrogant French tank tactics!" Hearing David Willey say that is so surreal and made me laugh for 10 minutes straight.
This is a very good documentary, I never knew about this.
It's funny what you can learn when you watch some good old fashioned educational material on RUclips.
@@SquireComedy Indeed, thank you Squire for educating me about this incredibly interesting war.
@@SquireComedy 😆
I don't know, sometimes I think Squire just makes it up.
It is my favourite of the year. This together with that nature documentary that describes how 3 level 2 monkeys in your lineup is totally overpowered!
How on earth you got David Willey to sit down and do what is basically a HoI4 shit-post i will never understand, but that sure is impressive and im so incredibly happy it happened!
Hahahah!
Finally a documentary that recognizes the strength of Luxembourg!
This was straight up the best video you've ever done. The second battle of Agincourt...
Played out very similar to the first
The 100 hours war

This is probably the best video on the channel
The story, the animations, the day night cycle and the effort put into this video it's overwelmingly perfect.
"..the 100 hours war. Actually it was 116 hours 32 minutes, but..."
Brilliant. You are a comedic genius, well done sir
Using James Holland and David Willey was simply brilliant! Hats off!
I see the good lads are back to give us their great content,keep up the good work guys!
Thanks Nigel! Now watch out for those bloody 109's!

"the sun truly never sets on the british empire, but thats also beacuse the day/night cycle has been turned off" this is why i subbed to this channel
It’s scary how great Square is at doing Mosley
honestly, this is basically what happens. i love the part where britain gets paris with a cavalry division that they forgot they had and that france forgot to deploy troops
Ah the return of Gamer Mosley, keep up the good work haha!
Thanks mate!
Oh, I think I've read this alt-history story somewhere already - I believe it was called something like "The Man In The Hythe Castle"...

That was great! Very cleverly done. More regional accents please!
Norfolk came natural, as that's where we're from!
Oh, what perfect timing! This'll keep me throughly entertained on my way home from work, which just ended.
How was work?
@@Joze1090 Dreadfully boring, but I got through it, somehow
What is your job? If you don't mind me asking?
Actually David Willey tells the actual Battle of Acincourt, he just adds the word "Tank" 3 times to it. What a genious!
I audibly gasped when David Willey came on, fantastic video chaps!
I absolutely love the idea of an alternative history documentary, great work our favourite Squire
9:00 The Second Battle of Agincourt!
Just look at that smirk. Beautiful sketch.
7:04 this made me laugh way more than it should have!
I think I remember reading about this in one of my history books a few years ago, glad someone made a proper documentary about it!
Can we just appreciate the efforts that have been spent on this video ! Special thanks to all the characters in this video , love you all 😍❤️
Had a good laugh after seeing James Holland here. Another great video from my favorite completely credible and realistic history channel!
"We live in a period." - Oswald "Gamer" Mosley

James gave us his time for free, because he's a lovely man.
This is absolutely fantastic, getting James and David to be involved just shows how much everyone loves Squire
Utterly shocked by James Holland's

"But next time never happens, does it?" accurate
One of your best videos yet, great work getting James and David involved!
I love how you got James Holland for this bit, before I was hooked in, but when I saw you got him for this bit, bruh, it was superbly brilliant.
You know you've made it when you get James Holland to play along!! LOVE THIS 👍
I feel dirty for watching this one for free. Outstanding piece of art.
I love the silly historical references. Second Battle of Agincourt in which British Archer Tanks destroy French Cavalry Tanks. That was the best part.
OMG! The introductory add was amazing!
OMG! James Halland, David Willey!!!!?!?!?
OMG! Another amazing Squire video!
I love the remastered version of Churchill’s speech
So brilliant how they got serious historians who’ve been on massive documentaries to take part. Amazing.
