Circle is the best shape for pressure vessel.

But triangle is the best shape for handling external forces?

Question: AGE 2 for dummies, military units

Hi there,

I have just recently started to play AGE 2, mainly because of social pressure, and I must say that I am hooked now. I would like to keep improving. Is there any guideline, resource (I think of some rock-paper-scissors scheme) describing strength and weaknesses of military unit types? What I find in the internet is very very detailed guidelines that overwhelm me.

Bonus questions: To speed up things, do you know if I have 6 workers stopped coming from the urban center and I want them to farm, I can select the entire group and queue 6 farms so they go each one of them to their own farm?

Thanks for your help guys! :)

Dummy tanks were wooden or inflatable tanks used in WWI and WWII. These tanks were used for training and as decoys to be mistaken as real by enemy fighters. These tanks could confuse and misdirect enemy troops. This created a ghost army which looked just as intimidating as any other military unit.

Need: Military Schooling for Dummies

Hey everyone, I feel a little embarrassed even making this post but here it is..

Been in 7 years and I just donโ€™t really understand how/where to start with my education. Iโ€™ve been to the Ed Center multiple times but it just seems like when they talk my mind doesnโ€™t comprehend.

Iโ€™m an intelligence AFSC and Iโ€™m 2 classes from my CCAF.

Iโ€™d like to have one of two things. 1: bachelors in business management or small business 2: bachelors in intelligence

Do I need to finish my CCAF before attempting to transfer those credits to an online school? If I do not need to finish my CCAF first, is there a downside? Do most people pay for online college with just TA or...?

Iโ€™m hoping someone here will break down exactly what I need to do as if Iโ€™m fresh out of high school because I just donโ€™t understand :(

(Ctto) In the Gundam lore, inflatable or dummy military units were often used to confuse foes and as a strategic confusion strategy like what Char did on Char's counternattack when he deployed dummy ships.

[PC][2010-ยฟ?] 2D Platform Shooter. I only remember there were 3 factions: robots/aliens, orange test dummies, and military humans; There was among the weapons a drill to dig tunnels and a concrete gun, and there was jetpacks too.

I just remember in the play mode I used to play you arrived in a dropship and all your things were spat out of the thing, you could land it in top of the enemies and it'd blow up. There were all kinds of weapons.

I've been searching for it for a while now, and I just stumbled upon reddit, so this is my first post ever. I hope someone else has played it and enjoyed it like me.

How did the Qing dynasty fail so completely, tech and military? Is there a good 'for dummies' book or site?

I kind of backed into the subject with my interest in US Marine history. After the Korean dispute, the Marines spent a lot of time and effort in China (leaving aside the brief post WWII peacekeeping).

I was reading about the Boxers and the relief expedition with the Lee Navy rifle, and it hit me. Why didn't the Chinese have anything at all effective? Even if they only bought 100,000 30 year old Spencer or Lorenz rifles at scrap prices and 200 rounds per gun, 50 to train/150 to fight, they would have thrown the West back.

How did the Qing Dynasty fail so badly? They had every advantage-- huge population, the ability to import almost any tech, and a truly functional government, and they flubbed it all. No industry, no tech, no modern weapons...

Military Strategy for dummies?

Hi all.

My first post here, of many to come. TLDR Is there a literal Military Strategy for dummies book? Are there "basic" applicable texts for the fundamentals, ie tactics/operations/strategy et cetera? The Art of War is a classic, sure, but on the other hand, army manuals don't seem approachable. I'm a civilian, through and through.

I'm currently playing Panzercorps and Order of Battle, and planning on buying Fields of Glory 2 and I really want to hone my tactical and strategic capacities. These are not my first strategy games, mind you, but I'm momentarily crazy about turn-based games. I tried playing Go (on 9x9 boards) but that didn't last long; I have immense respect for it - especially after reading thisย http://www.kiseidopublishing.com/three.htmย - but interest phased away.

Thanks.

Edit: Wikipedia has a nice list of concepts https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military_strategies_and_concepts
