@1MagicAndMayhem1 I quote from Basil Liddell Hart's 'History of the Second World War': "While the British armour had been brought up to a total of 160 tanks (of which nearly half were Grants), he [Rommel] had barely 60 German tanks (of which a quarter were light Panzer IIs) and a handful of Italian tanks." This is at the height of Rommel's success, several days prior to the First Battle of El Alamein, not after he was smashed up during the battle.
@Smilinginmygrave Hi I'm form the US and I've been kinda interested in the Balkans, do the Slovenians hate us Americans and are the Slovenians slavic people?
I am neither talking about Two Front wars nor the outline of a material battle. I am talking about the same amount of troops vs the same amount of troops. 1 VS 1 in every way you see it.
@Zefurion1988 Hi, I'm from the US and I've really been interested in the Balkans, why is it that the Croats and Serbs fought each other anyway? I mean to us it doesn't make much sense, Croats and Serbs got along well when they were Yugoslavia. What happened?
@1MagicAndMayhem1 And, by the way, even if you were right abut most of the British tanks being away from battle, (and I don't think you are), it would mean that the British could re-equip their forces while Rommel, who rarely received reinforcements from Hitler, had to take his losses and grimace.
@e0o9kii They never got along actually. Its a complicated history so i cant just explain it in a you tube comment, but if you search online im sure you will find some useful information regarding the reasons and such.
@1MagicAndMayhem1 Rommel acutally had inferior forces. For example, when Rommel was checked at the First Battle of El Alamein, the British had a 50% advantage in manpower, 200% advantage in aircraft and 150% advantage in tanks (not to mention the vastly inferior quality of the Italian tanks). While on occasion Rommel had more men, at every stage he had fewer tanks and aircraft, which were more important.
@1MagicAndMayhem1 for the african front i will be honest i hardly know anything some stuff i heard from my history teacher , readed and watched military history
So you grew up in a country outside of the Warsaw Pact? Not really sure how your perspective of things in your own nation can shed a positive light on the USSR... I mean, Yugoslavia was a 'non-aligned country' after all.
Russians showed true heroism(even tough pushed brutally by Stalin) Im not russian but i respect the sacrefices made by these people. The only reason communisam as a whole is in a bad light is because of Stalin. You see i was raised in Ex-yugoslavia and can asure you that most of the evil soviet myths are incorrect (I might be wrong about outside ex yugoslavia)
Those last 10 seconds or so are glorious!
0:48 that transition is so clean. Best part of this cutscene.
+PoliticoSTK 88 and for me the glorious part is when the guy with cigar in his mouth keeps loading the mortar
+Subidubidubi Du Yeah, he managed to make violation of safety protocols look completely badass.
Good Old Chunky British Tanks!!
00:50 observe, a herd of matildas in their natural habitat

Love the sample of la Marseillaise !
variation on la Marseillaise, not a sample. Difference can be heard

@cwjian90 Actually, mass starvation of Ukranians and gulags only happend in the USSR.
@1MagicAndMayhem1
And I never said that Rommel's tanks were mostly Italian.

Oh and i think this video is awsome , especially the last 15 secs :D
P.S. Communist education kicks ass!
@FlitkoSLO To be fair, that's really a fault in all dictatorships, not just communist systems.
@e0o9kii Yeah we are mostly slavic but we have some celt blood in us :D
this game was fun. execpt the british part of allied campaign was a little too long. i personally like the american parts.
