Ah, but sometimes, the most unexpected thing you can do is to do precisely what you are expected to do.

Although realistically, the biggest strategic problem here was that the xenos got so overconfident that they failed to truly understand their enemy. It's also a noticeable human flaw, overconfidence.

For future reference nobody uses flamethrowers anymore because white phosphorous grenades do the job more effectively and are safer to use. And you can hand them out to everyone. Mirrors have to be absolutely flawlessly made and dirt free to reflect a high power laser, unrealistic for a military vehicle. You'd need to use ablative armor for that.
It was entertaining enough but yeah, it could have done with a proof-reader or two. 🙂 But the word is "cost" as there is no such word as "costed." "Cost" is past and future tense in the one word, with qualifiers if disambiguation is required. "It cost us dearly" = past tense. "That will cost you" = future tense.

That's an HFY story. People often forget that part of the original meme that spawned this was it was also exploring our worst nature. This is a call back to what makes them good.
@@bennood2031 HFY is basically supposed to be the opposite of the "Puny Earthling" trope where humans are supposed to be helpless primitives in the face of an alien threat, where the aliens are better at everything. It's the author (and hopefully their readers) taking pride in some aspect of humanity, Occasionally, "Humanity F*ck Yeah" devolves into "Humanity, What the F*ck???", which is basically where the author wanks humanity in such a morally reprehensible way that they (usually inadvertently) turn humanity into the bad guys of the story. Like genociding entire alien races because of what any sane person would regard as a minor social slight IRL.
hmmm... i wonder how many Humans were in this Fight. Wouldnt be surprised if its less than 100. This sounds like Commando Soldiers with a week of free time to prepare the Battlefield.
Arty, missile brigades, AAA, engineers, and at least 3 groups of marines or spec forces numbering 24 (2 dozen as per the story) .. plus the snipers of course.. don't need the 10k but at least 1-2k by my guess
No reason not to have the full 10k, though most of those were likely combat engineering and support roles... unless the rules of the Rite are so poorly designed that 'support personnel' don't count against your limit. I'd guess a solid 3-4k, since you need a wide and deep net.
@@benjamintherogue2421 All memeing aside, you know snow is only for like a third of the year. Rest of the year we make do with reqular forest, the snow just helps dealing with people who aren't used to cold. And be it white or green, the moment you step into our woods your ass is ours, unless swamps, lakes or bears get you first
Reminds me of a line from the movie, "Go Tell the Spartans". A North Vietnamese officer, after ordering the killing of French soldiers who had surrendered said, "If we kill all they send, they will stop sending."
The Vietcong for the most part were not in fact well trained, nor were they well equipped. They were also not the primary fighting force of the North Vietnamese. That, was the regular NVA, who unlike the Vietcong were actually well trained, disciplined, and fairly well equipped.
Worse, these xenos weren't even trained as well as US soldiers of the time. They were expecting a parade ground battle and found asymmetric warfare instead. You'd think they'd at least have sent a few of their special forces and read some of our history.
@@alganhar1 In the early days they were fairly well trained and were quite effective but after we started killing them faster than they could be trained they became almost completely ineffective.
@@Wastelandman7000 Not quite parade ground. They probably would have done quite well in the Korean War. They performed very much like well trained human infantry that had never heard of guerrilla warfare before they were dropped into a battle against guerrillas.
So i enjoyed the story. But what is a tress? The only thing i found on google was talking about long locks or curls in longer hair. And i really dont know the connection with the story.
I remember a story about why mirror armour was not used as defence against lasers. The con list was about 10X longer than the pro list. oh sorry was not a story was a scientific research paper. my bad.
Humans : So, you want to play war ? We don't «play» war, we fight war. Tag, you're dead. Aliens : Mummy ! While making their pants turn brown or whatever.
Nice story. ASN. Thx for the read. I couldn’t help but think and laugh, that planet isnt even in the sol system. Heaven forbid anyone fafo w that hornets nest….
damn these aliens were fighting american commandos that are decedents of vietnamese Edit: went to check the original post and the OP said they accidently miss spelt trees
During the Battle of Britain one fighter pilot said, "It would be good if we could destroy every plane in an attacking formation" to which another replied, "No. We want to let one go. Badly damaged, with all the crew except the pilot dead, and him coughing his lungs out dying at the controls after he lands. So they can see what happens."
Vid feed of the the slaughter is effective, a single sole surviving frigate full of xenos returning with their uniforms and pressure suits verrry " soiled ", jump at the slightest sound and the mere mention of the word human makes them shudder and look over their shoulder is much more effective as a deterrent.
It always mystifies me, how FTL capable civilisations, neglect to develop their infantry. I mean , its not that hard to spot a man in a jungle, not with tech aids. Bullets live trails, their trajectory can be calculated, their point of origin determined. These xenos were using plasma weapons, but no shields! Its almost like they were equipped to lose ! Assuming they were using super heated plasma discharges from their weapons, their best bet would have been to fire the jungle! Burn everything , leave the enemy no refuge, hunt down the fleeing units. What do they care about trees, in some isolated islands ? Burn everything that can burn, force the enemy to an open battle, you can win.
Depends on how wet the jungle is. If it was just deluged by a storm it would be too wet to do anything but smoulder. And why they neglect their infantry is interservice rivalry. When one arm "wins wars" for you you tend to neglect arms that aren't "effective". Its their internal politics getting in the way of logic and reason.
Also for many of these storys humanity is an op underdog always underestimated. Then there are the aliens show up and humanity is wiped out stories. Theres an entire youtube channel dedicated to advanced civilizations too dumb to survive.
Aliens: we fight fair.
Humans: yeah you already lost.
true
Fair is a place where pigs win ribbons.
The monkey trap was such a human thing to do, considering what the enemy looked like. Of course, if you play Fallout 4 long enough you know the monkey meant trouble.

And why they neglect their infantry is interservice rivalry. When one arm "wins wars" for you you tend to neglect arms that aren't "effective". Its their internal politics getting in the way of logic and reason.
Also the fact that their command line was in disarray from sniper and artillery fire.
