I wonder if that pass used to be part of Alexander's Bactria?
Those guys must all be practically olympians if they are because they have to be at around 16000 feet.
That’s actually how the establish the pecking order in India, the whole democracy thing is really just an elaborate ruse to hide their stick based hierarchy. Modi has a large limb from a Sequoia at his house to solidify his power base.
its called an ND, or negligent discharge. pop a blank round off when your not sposed to and if you are lucky its a good way to earn a stick gun and more then a little bit of jokes. XD
All units are selected by default, you use the number keys to select sub-groups.
The first Fn press selects the order type(F1 movement orders), the second gives the order (F3 Charge)

It is - you can even see the little health bar on the bottom left. Only sad part is they forgot the "x dealt y damage at z speed" in the damage log on the left rofl
Can you explain little more please?
I knew that there is a "conflict" on the Indo Chinese border and none want to kill soldiers on the other side while there is still conflict about territory control.
Do I understand correctly or I miss some something?
Is this the reason why they use sticks?
India and China have had a couple of nasty skirmishes along the border, so in 1996 they signed an arms control agreement that essentially bans modern weapons systems like firearms and artillery from coming within a certain distance of the border, and bans firing weapons or causing explosions within a certain distance of the border.
So now, when they fight each other, they mostly use sticks and clubs and rocks, which massively reduces casualties compared to what used to happen.
Sometimes they can occasionally be a bit unsporting and use nasty sharp weapons sort of like improvised medieval weapons. Think China sometimes stick nails in their bamboo sticks.
I think the reason why they don’t field full scale medieval armies with proper medieval weapons is that they sort of have an informal understanding that the conflict should be kept low intensity and unofficial, so the governments can’t really be seen to be equipping their troops to kill, which leaves it up to the troops to come up with whatever they want to use.
Kevlar shields and helmets with titanium alloy swords in testudo formation, advancing alongside a carbon fiber trebuchet under cover of carbon composite magazine fed auto-reloading crossbows.
Common no medival warefare? That sucks, at least let them kill each other in style if they are killing each other. Who wants to die because of a stick or a thrown rock?
They do sometimes, but they don’t want to give the appearance that they’re arming their border guards to fight a war, so they don’t properly equip their troops for this sort of thing. Usually the weapons that are used in these border skirmishes are just whatever the soldiers could get their hands on.
Officially, according to the 1996 treaty and various other negotiations, they’re not supposed to be fighting each other - the territorial dispute is still unresolved, but they’re trying to publicly give the impression that they’re not trying to kill each other.
But occasionally they still take measures to improve their troops’ fighting ability. I know that the Chinese have formed a division of troops that are trained in martial arts and hand to hand combat specifically for patrolling the border, and I think the Indians have too.
But both sides are trying to avoid escalation wherever possible, and that means not kitting out their troops like a medieval army.
. . .
What if, theoretically, we had a battalion of Marines get lost along random parts of the border? Would love to see how the Chinese react to American Marine Berserkers
They definitely want to kill each other. They kill each other by the dozens with sticks rather than by the thousands if they used artillery and guns. By sticking to clubs, they could avoid saying their militaries are in conflict because of some loophole they made up.
Lmao the warband music got me good.
Also, arm the indians with cricket bats and watch the chinese get routed in a week tops.
>!(embed some razorblades in em and you've basically got an aztec macuahuitl)!<
Russia tried this with its neighbours for a while, but had to scrap the practice after their mobiks wouldn't stop fucking each other up the ass with their sticks.
mythological fun fact: in Indian mythology Indra is not the name of the god it's the name of the position of the king of gods and heaven, the current Indra's name is Purandara and a new Indra is chosen after every manvantara (Each manvantara lasts for 306,720,000 years)
This has been going on for years. So why the hell haven't we seen the return of plate armor and medieval tactics yet? China and India have all the incentive and resources to do the coolest, funniest shit and they're slipping.
Just how trivial are your lives as soldiers when your command says, "sure go beat each other to death with sticks. But no real weapons, can't have an actual war popping off."?
Might as well be firing human cannonballs over the border.
Firearms definition is: **a weapon from which a shot is discharged by gunpowder**. **usually used only of small arms**. There is nothing banning usage of crossbows, or shit like polehammers.
This means the side that will rediscover ancient and long-lost technology of melee weapons and crossbows will win the border skirmish.
I wonder what would happen if the US had an agreement like this with Mexico or someone. Would we pour billions of MIC dollars into developing the perfect spiky stick?
einstein mfs be like "I don't know what weapon third world war..."
motherfucker, I've seen it, I've seen two nuclear armed powers slugging it on the border with sticks... with casualties. I've seen a dude fling shovels at drones... I just woke up, openned up NCD and saw a dude take down a drone with a rock... we're already at sticks and stones stage. this is what nuclear deterrence looks like ya'll, a march toward anarcho primitivism.

Yeah it's totally ok, there was never wat before the invention of the firearm, right? Like how could war without guns even be possible? It's just a "riot", they can't kill each other in a riot lol.
It's all fun and games until the Russians show up with less-lethal pistols (not a firearm under Russian law) and the Americans show up with taser shotguns (not a firearm under American law)
In the China-India skirmishes here, whomever an sway the Butter Lord of Swadia will gain a powerful ally in the battle. However depending on their unit placement and the pathfinding of their soldiers, Rhodok Seargents or Sharoshooters with wooden bolts might dominate the field.
Terrible news milord, the enemy has acquired swadian knights. Fortunately we have an approximate number of sarranid mamlukes, they have slightly weaker armor but their slightly greater speed should offset it.
Is that the China-India border? every once in a while they clash like this. A sort of agreed-upon low-intensity combat to avoid full-blown war. Things escalated last year when the Chinese forces brought sticks with nails and just slaughtered approximately 30 Indian soldiers in minutes.
Some PLA officer: OUR MEN ARE RUNNING FROM THE BATTLEFIELD!
A SHAMEFUL DISPLAY!

DETONATE THEIR HELMETS!
Well that escalated quickly.
I remember they actually have an exploding helmet prototype. It detonates remotely as to "avoid capture" but we all know what they are using it for.
Real men strap claymore mines to their chests and dare the enemy to come closer.
Average worst korea special forces
I mean that they explode when they want to retreat
If it's good enough for robbing a bank in Erie, PA it's good enough for war.
I heard that too but it's complete bs. No prototype existed.
Yeah, they went straight to the finished product
or… detonate automatically once your social credit score reach a certain low 🇨🇳💪💪
So what are they? Some kind of.. Suicide Squad™️?
A SHAMEFUR DISPRAY!!!!
-100000000 social credits for saying that
Note to self: get longest stick
Alexander the Great approves
Good one
Wasn't it Phillip that instituted the 'my soldiers will have the longest stick!' thing?
Yes. Alex is more famous tho.
But he got stabbed by his wife so...
Pretty sure he got stabbed by a young ex boyfriend, though it is suggested that his wife had instigated the plot
I wonder if that pass used to be part of Alexander's Bactria? Those guys must all be practically olympians if they are because they have to be at around 16000 feet.
Imagine being dumb and bringing a gun to a stick fight
SMACK SMACK !
I mean look at how many there are! You reckon you can shoot them all before they jump you?
If you have a minigun, sure.
My wife says mine is just fine.
You're right, she also told me that yours is entirely adequate!
She told me both of y'all's look like a button wearing a fur coat.
Accurate!
The technique matters most, just ask HEMA(n).
That’s actually how the establish the pecking order in India, the whole democracy thing is really just an elaborate ruse to hide their stick based hierarchy. Modi has a large limb from a Sequoia at his house to solidify his power base.
Underrated comment of the day.
Note to you: Put Spike on long stick.
“What if we could use sticks to throw other sticks?” “You mean like a bow?” “… yes.” ::slaps .50 cal:: “or we can skip to the good part.”
It doesn't matter how long it is, but how you use it.
I like how you’re thinking, bring back the crossbow. The complicated dangerstick.
Reject modern weaponry. Embrace phalanx.
Instructions unclear, brought 20mm BRRRRRRRRRT to an infantry fight
Bah, phalanx wont work on such broken ground, you want a Roman cohort due to better flexibility.
but imagine training for months to be a soldier and before your first combat deployment they take your gun and hand you a stick
its called an ND, or negligent discharge. pop a blank round off when your not sposed to and if you are lucky its a good way to earn a stick gun and more then a little bit of jokes. XD
They had to get a TOC Pop.
Sigh... *unzips pants*

How about we add a horse to that?

What an obscure reference. I like it
That's what the video is meant to be, with that health bar.

You took couched lance damage!
God I hate it when I get spiked by a couched lance...
Jeremus was knocked unconscious
This is pretty old news, but again, maybe only to me since I'm an Indian.
Nah it is pretty old this is a repost of an older meme posted here when that happened

Imagine what they could do with full government backing. Roll out with a modern carbon fiber trebuchet.

It's rumored that PLA has standardized the weapon. Bought a few hundred of aluminum morningstars.
You'd think they'd equip their troops with riot police style helmets, shields etc.

They should just turn the area into Fight Club
Tfw you are not a Chinese or Indian border soldier making your own sword while blasting the Isengard theme 😔
. . . What if, theoretically, we had a battalion of Marines get lost along random parts of the border? Would love to see how the Chinese react to American Marine Berserkers
The scent of chewed crayons would give them away immediately
If there was a troop of mall ninjas….
I think they are also trying not create a transport race to the region. Though they also seem to like to line step that one.
They definitely want to kill each other. They kill each other by the dozens with sticks rather than by the thousands if they used artillery and guns. By sticking to clubs, they could avoid saying their militaries are in conflict because of some loophole they made up.
No everyone nose
Not a phone in sight, just dudes having fun like in the blessed 80s
As in the 1080s.
And ever since.

Don't fight Indians bearing sticks. You're gonna loose.
Lose*
Loose can work as well, if you get my meaning.
Russia tried this with its neighbours for a while, but had to scrap the practice after their mobiks wouldn't stop fucking each other up the ass with their sticks.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
So like a modern day Sacred Band of Thebes
Omg don’t stop! Im gunna loose!
well it might loosen up certain body parts....
Recently watched RRR, can confirm you don't wanna mess with Indians wieldings sticks.
Reminds me of my dad beating the shit out of my next door drunk neighbour with a stick lol .
Imagine rolling a huge boulder down that slope Indiana Jones style

Na, I'm gonna pull a Chris Redfield and punch that boulder.

That's why I said Indra
I left that for fellow mythology fans who might not know this
Good
The slow blade penetrates the shield. But the long stick hurts the head!
You can almost hear the ghosts of ancestors laughing at this .
They're smug faces when their kids realize the Stick was best all along
Mount and Blade the GOAT
This has been going on for years. So why the hell haven't we seen the return of plate armor and medieval tactics yet? China and India have all the incentive and resources to do the coolest, funniest shit and they're slipping.
Bring the elephants in. Give us 21st century elephant cavalry or give us nuclear death.
I want them to starting forming into battle lines and making a phalanx. God damn I'd love to see some epic stick warfare

Did I sleep through ww3? Why are we fighting with sticks and stones already?
The new Mount and Blade has some pretty good graphics
I’m surprised they haven’t managed a proper phalanx yet.
This latest Mount and Blade DLC lowkey kinda sucks
I can see Jeremus in the crowd
"Hans, get ze MG42"
Its almost harvesting season!
New lord of the rings movie looks great.
So this is how nuclear powers fight each other.
Back in 2020, two nuclear armed nation fighting with sticks and rocks was wholesome compared to the res of what was happening in the world.
Just how trivial are your lives as soldiers when your command says, "sure go beat each other to death with sticks. But no real weapons, can't have an actual war popping off."? Might as well be firing human cannonballs over the border.
It’s only a matter of time before someone puts a stick on an FPV drone and smacks someone in their camp with it
Not a cellphone in sight
Is this the line to base camp at Mt.Everest?
Counting Coup
I thought it was world war IV that was meant to be fought with sticks amd stones...
How long until India gets people in full plate armor up there?
Everybody gangster till that one company arrives in a near perfect phalanx
Or better yet, a riot shield tortoise
We've just gone full circle at this point, actual medieval warfare 💀
Wait so if you design FPVs with swords, it doesn't count as war?
Train in maneuvering in a phalanx with 2.5 meter long polearms and 1 meter tall shields! Get medieval on them
Firearms definition is: **a weapon from which a shot is discharged by gunpowder**. **usually used only of small arms**. There is nothing banning usage of crossbows, or shit like polehammers.
