Yeah thats propaganda Chinese troops looting dead american bodies cmon guys.

Looking forward to what the future holds with this channel.

Dont think nazis think....wermacht? I dont think i was a ss panzer division at foy was it?

If only O'connor got to keep the 4th indian and go on to takeTripoli, Rommal would have had to start in Tunisia, would have been interesting Even though that was not so, if O'Connor had simply not been captured & was CO of 8th Army for the rest of the war, I wonder how he would have got on as the desert rat

Been there, done that. Korea was indeed one of the coldest duty stations I have ever been too. I have met two Chosen Frozen in my life. They were both absolutely marvelous characters.

Bull shit

Why aren't there 2 consuls, like IRL?

I have been a Perry's miniature fan for a long time and to see them in this video was a real treat...Thank You.

I can't believe this movie lost $. One of my favs. I'm Asian

Thank you for this informative video. Definitely a big help in getting a perspective on the original structure and where events of the battle played out. The original Alamo structure is much bigger than it seems in art and movie depictions.

Glad anti America Tom Hanks was tied to this failure.

Fighting sail. The ships have sail dice. Smaller ships have more this more maneuverable so not sure what he’s getting at

so wittle

Michael Taylor be quiet and do not speak about Phyrrus of Epirus. You are a grain of sand in a beach. When you speak these foolish things about Phyrrus you sound ignorant. Who are you to rank him pretty low? A nobody that’s who. You say he didn’t have the capacity to know what he’s fighting a war for? Why you idiot he fought for his empire’s security, territory, troops and resources. Phyrrus is useful on how not to think about war? That is another ignorant statement because Phyrrus was a brilliant strategist and led his troops by personal courage and experience. “Because of a total lack of strategic vision basically fails everywhere…” this is another stupid statement. It depends what you see as failure, you do not understand the mindset of military in ancient times, you do not understand how culture and tradition worked back then. Phyrrus actually would fight the other leader 1 vs 1 before the battle, which he did many times and won, meaning that he was a reflection of what was tough at the times. “…Never holds on to macedonia…” this is another ignorant statement because he won Macedonia but gave it away. The tile dropped on his head was a dishonorable move by a Greek that stunned Phyrrus in a duel 1v1 that’s how he lost, he would’ve won that duel! An assistant professor who sits behind books and sounds like a modern fool cannot review Phyrrus of Epirus, because he is not well read and is just a pupil. 90% of his remarks are ignorant.

Loved the pacific. I feel like I could smell the gore but it showed the absolutely savage type of warfare the pacific actually brought. The part where dude was throwing rocks into the Japanese soldiers have blown off head had me like broooo wtf but that’s how it was over there. Crazy and just hell on earth

It was a horrible series. Had bad acting, terrible writing, bad directing. Only good parts were the scenes of the ocean.

I just downloaded it. Took 20 minutes

Your argument about the narrative was right on. It felt very shallow. Pacific didn't suck me in like Band did.

It was a great series, just didn't get the press of Band of Brothers. The actors and every other participant in this series should be proud of what they accomplished!

One important thing to note here. The pilot for The Pacific sucked. It's boring, lacks grit and feels something you've already seen. Didn't care for any of the characters.

For me, someone new to all war gaming, it seems it goes in phases. I've been trying this hobby for a year. As I am now looking outside Gamesworkshop, I see the appeal of historical games. I think, as a new comer and anecdotally, gamers mature into historical. 40k pulling in new players, skirmish games when you're done with that, then historical when you're done with that.

The directors took things in a different direction, but I still enjoyed it.

An Amazing TV Show. So STFU.

This is nicely done, and I believe quite fair. I own several of the "good" and have checked into some others, and this appears to be a very fair summary of the Osprey business model with rules.

Tombstonealltheway

I didnt care about main character interaction and lack of it. Yes, the timeliness were a little confusing

Ahem......Considering that it's 14 years old and some people are still making videos about it, I'd say it did alright.

The actor who played Eugene Sledge was the little kid in Jurassic Park and was also in Bohemian Rhapsody along with Malek

The Pacific didn’t flesh out the characters enough for the viewer to relate to. With the exception of Basilone and Sledge- the rest of them sort of blended together. It was hard to identify each guy because they all sort of looked similar and instead of taking a break from combat to develop the storyline further, in the beginning it was almost constant firefights. I’m sure the way the Marines were portrayed was more accurate but as far as shows go- they totally missed the mark.

This was the best version. Billy bob portrayed davy crockett, my husband's gggggrandfather. I can put in the dvd and hear my deceased hubby

The Pacific was one and done for me. BOB I have watched dozens of times.

What do you guys use for the flock on the roof? Esp that lighter green. I’m having trouble finding it on Blamazon :)

I think BoB worked because it was very linear and following a group you got to know. Pacific seemed to jump around a lot and you never really knew where you was. BoB is very rewatchable ( i still watch it even now ) Pacific i watched once.

I mean maybe its because I'm a Marine, but I like the Pacific over Band Of Brothers. It shows the sheer brutality of the war in the pacific. How Marines, and I guess the army😏, were thrown into these battles that were absolutely brutal.

In my eyes, the 3 storyline thing is the main reason why i dont like the Pacific nearly as much as BoB. They needed to pick a smaller, specific unit like in BoB and follow their path through the war. And also fix the pacing, 3 whole episodes on Pelilu when the other episodes somehow span 4.5 years just.... doesnt work.

This is masterful….great work!

May have lost money but the BEST HISTORICAL Alamo movie ever made.

I will order The Pacific next week. I wanted to order Masters Of The Air but they come from china, So I won't buy a copy until I can find an American seller.

That's cool stuff, glad I discovered your channel! My older brother would play Avalon Hill board games in the 1970s, I have not seen it done much since. Memories, thanks for the war game!

Seems to me also that this would be a good 'con game, because people could learn it in minutes and get playing.

The more I think about this game, the more I really admire several aspects of it. The movement system really took me a while to get my head around (the reasoning behind it) but then it made sense to implement it this way. It's focusing on the movement that matters; the movement of the combatants relative to each other, not to the map. I mean, we could stage a game of the Run To The South at Jutland, for example, where the ships are covering dozens of miles in the course of the fight, but don't really change their position relative to each other. So why bother modeling that movement? This system totally started to make sense to me then. The only thing that I'm scratching my head over is how you tackle a situation where the opposing admirals will change their position to each other without the necessity of issuing orders or changing course. If the opposing fleets begin the action on reciprocal courses, steaming straight at each other, then it really shouldn't require executing a move for the range to decrease, should it? I think I'm going to have to buy the full rules pack to get a better mental picture of it all. 🙂

People didn’t buy dvds in 2010

Nahhh just enjoy the movie.....

I wonder how the film did in Japan. Most Texans do not know this, but in Japan, the story of the Alamo is recounted in nearly every school and is very famous. That is because this story represents everything Japanese culture values in a soldier. I discovered this one day during a visit to the Alamo. I encountered a group of Japanese tourists who were behaving in an extremely reverent manner. I struck up a conversation with a couple of the English speakers and they explained to me the importance of the Alamo in their culture. They told me that they felt that it was an honor just to walk the battleground. They said to me that the Alamo defenders were revered in Japan because they fought courageously, without hope and without complaint. Later, I had occasion to visit Japan, and I was asked by a gentleman where in the United States I was from. When I answered "Texas", he replied, "Oh, Alamo!"

To me, Dennis Quaid looked more like a consumptive than Val Kilmer.
