Just my 2 cents on the youtube whining about the police.
In the past people have been shot and killed, beaten with batons, sprayed with fire hoses, attacked by police dogs and more at demonstrations that happened not all that long ago in the grand scheme of things. It's pretty silly how these hippie protestors were crying about how some women got sprayed with OC spray after they were pushing into the barrier(Which clearly has "POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS" written on it) the police were holding up to keep them out of the street.
What do they honestly expect to happen when they do that? If they can get away with crowding against the barricade and forcing the police back then the people down the street will think nothing of doing the same.
I see nothing wrong with the law enforcement using reasonable force to ensure their own personal security and to keep things from getting out of control. Just look at how quickly the people in the OC spray video cleared away after they were shown the consequences of crowding the officers. That's how you handle large groups of people who have a mob mentality and think they are anonymous and thus untouchable by the law.
There is no reason they should be allowed to crowd streets and be a general obstruction for the people with real jobs who have to drive to work on those same roads rather than collect their welfare checks and cry about how the rich get richer while the poor act as rambunctious as possible and whine like these protestors are doing. It's comical how ignorant these "demonstrators" show themselves to be when they act like fools by stomping around and screaming in the middle of the street, resist against police officers, and then brag about how they are being charged with offenses. A criminal record is clearly something to be proud of and it's definitely a good start on establishing their own individual financial security.
When the police are carrying automatic rifles, forcing them all face down in the street and then jumping on their backs then they can complain.
All the vast majority of these people are doing is running around aimlessly showing how they have no clear goals, nor cohesion as a group, and making good entertainment for the rest of us who realize that taking your clothes off and painting a cardboard sign won't make anyone less poor. It will just make you look like a douche bag hippie protestor who is about to get their first shower in a week via a can of OC spray.
This may just be me imagining it but for the longest time I played CC on a netbook with a 1.6 hz processor and the ai controlled forces would barely move at all some battles. Unless the enemy forces were made up largely of armour there would be very little movement often times.
I was curious how the game would run on my other computer that has a triple core cpu and it seems to me like it the ai is more aggressive and less prone to laying on the ground inching forward. I am testing it using the Battle of Berlin mod for CC5 and I just had four Russian AI squads rush a house with a MG42 team and a Panzer IV/70 alongside it.
I've been told by my Aunt on my father's side of the family that my grandfather was an officer in the Canadian Army during the second world war. Unfortunately that's all I know about him since he took his own life in the 80s before I could ever know him and learn more.
My other grandfather's brother served in the Army as well and operated a PIAT as well as a Bren I believe. He served in Caen among other places.
