huh thats what they did the Napoleon

One theory was one of Napoleons leaders didn't take Napoleon's command and did his own thing which led to a bad backlash

But I need to find a video explaining it better than i can

heard about Poltava?

POLTAVA!

Listen excuse for a king!

Trust me, this fight you can't win!

Long story short, yes, I have heard about Poltava

Not the song, (though amazing) the interesting thing is the swedes where winning and had momentum, but they were ordered, not by the king (who?) to hold instead of advance and then they died

They lost because the long trek down, through the harsh winter, because they were promised troops by someone else, only got a fraction of those troops, and didn't have the numbers or supplies to hold out

true, I understand the context but once the battle started carolus just charged them head on which the russians were supprised by, taking half of the russain redoubts and the running russians from the fron disturbed the main russian line, but then they stopped

I believe part of why the swedes started losing had to do with the fact that the King pulled a ww1 and got hit in the head by a sharpshooter

that was after poltava though

ah i see

So I picked this model kit up at Good Will, and was surprised it came with all the parts it needed to build it. But I had a question, and that was what era is this tank? Looks WWII to me, but I suck at history, so idk.

It’s a KV-II, idk if that helps

early russian tank WW2, during operation barbarrosa and before the russian counter attack, they were still in use but no longer produced

lucky

goodwill is amazing

Yeah, I thought it was a pretty good find 😂 thanks for the facts

fun fact: Walt Disney built a small train track for his daughters in his backyard

@ThiccSpicyGenderRevealParty Sounds like you're talking about Carolus Rex, unless this happened to another Swedish king... except Carolus was hit in the chest I think

no, is was hea

head

I could've sworn he was hit in the chest, but given how he was standing in the trench getting hit in the head would make sense

I'm thinking of Gustavus Adolphus, he was hit in the chest

gustavus was hit in the chest twice and then shot in the temple

@MynLlama 🦙 You my friend are one lucky bastard because you not only found an intact KV2 kit, you found one thats by tamiya, who have a reputation of making high quality kits

Yo nice

I kinda feel bad now... this is my first model of im making 😂

Fun Fact: During Operation Barbarossa, a lone KV2 held off an entire German Panzer Division at the town of Raseiniai and the crew only ditched the tank after they ran out of ammunition. In fact, there's an award in World of Tanks Blitz called The Raseiniai Heroes medal which you obtain if you kill all members of the enemy team as a dedication to the KV2 which is now called The Monster of Raseiniai

and that is hopefully the last time i type out a mini essay in discord

oh that so cool

in fact, im hoping to get either a KV2, or an M4 variant as my next tank

For Carolus Rex, during Poltova he was shot in the chest but lived, going into exile in the Ottoman Empire. When he returned to Sweden he led a siege on the Dano-Norweigian city of Friedricksholm where he was shot in the head and killed

En Livstid I Krig

Sabaton song all about it

Don't know if they got a English version of it

I think the english version is Lifetime of War, they have the same rhythm just differing lyrics

but that doesn't make sense because lifetime of war is about the thirty years war?
