It also clarified that the Krieg lines where unlikely to have been breached even if the Vraksians held on. The fact was, they had only punctured the outer most layer of a very thick onion. The fate they suffered was virtually assured by the layered lines. Edit: The only way they "might" have punched further would be the preservation of their vehicles. If a vast majority of the light vehicles made it, they would have stood some chance of reaching and exploiting the second line. Granted they would have needed to crew the turrets, and then turn them upon the artillery. But if they could, that might have allowed even further damage. Pour even more reinforcements through the gap, then Blitzkrieg the line. The interconnected defenses and heavy guns would have been in real trouble. In truth, the Vraksians weren't going to win this war. The American revolution of history was only successful because of additional outside influences. Napoleon was threatening Britain at large, along with plenty of smaller, but cumulative unrest. That, and growing internal pressure, basically forced the King and advisory to cut their distant losses. All the states/colonies had to do was hold on until the inevitable. The Cardinal simply didn't have a way of rallying similar support, nor any nearby diversionary wars. The Administratum of 40k had made up it's mind. Too bad for them, because something tells me this is going to cost the Imperium even more then they have already failed to realize.

29:00 The only problem with this idea is that wherever troops are dying heaviest doesn't necessarily suggest the strongest part of the line in the area. Because oblique and enfilading fire is a thing. And indeed if the DKoK were inspired by the Great War, they would know that if they did a bit of research. This is why Australians during the Great War used 'peaceful penetration' infantry tactics against the lighter elements of the Western Front, while using mainstay forces to follow up against entrenched line positions that were harder to crack. Basically using mobility, experienced storm force grenadier attacks in force against an enemy that was in defilade, following up successful rear attacks by 'peaceful penetration' through enemy lines where they were weaker. This maximizes the 'fire efficiency' of friendly forces, reduces casualties, *and* increases territorial gains and inflicts chaos in enemy echelons, particularly in their commanders, who have trouble understanding the force strength of defenders who are suddenly suffering collapsing lines and struggle to understand where they should mobilize guard forces in reserve. This is also known as a 'staggered assault' whereby you create force superiority through maximizing your capacities of inflict enfilading fire engagements and destroy enemy cohesion, while maximizing enemy suppression through multiple axes of assault as the battle is waged. This is what the two companies of Australian soldiers also implemented against an entire division of Chinese soldiers at the Battle of Kapyong. The Chinese assumed the Australians were going to dig in, but instead what Ferguson did was order an artillery barrage against his own position in the middle of an enemy attack and simply kept his forces mobile in the darkness of the night, so as the Chinese leapt into the natural defensive points of where the Australians *should have been* (conventionally speaking) they were attacked on multiple fronts, Australian forces kept mobile outside their defences, while being blown apart by U.S. artillery. Transforming a 'defence' with 20:1 numerical inferiority, and transforming it into a staggered assault which maximized damage in a smaller field of condensed enemy numbers to beat back an overwhelming enemy force. Quite literally, if you're marching most of your troops towards where your soldiers are dying the 'least', all you're doing is marching headlong and simply *assuming* it's lighter defended. Where in reality it could be simply the salient of which is focussing its static defensive fire where it's most effective ... across the line of the front, as opposed to directly in front of them. Marching in strength on a weaker point is only ever useful in Soviet deep strike manoeuvre warfare. Whereby the idea is the overwhelm and leapfrog rested infantry past the initial shock force advance to collapse multiple echelons and bash open the line defensive. But it only works if you can attack in surprise. Hence the 'Maskirovka' doctrine. You don't bring a nuke to a knife fight. You maximize utility of all your soldiers, and you just make sure you have a good enough opposing knifefighter with a better quality blade. I get the DKoK is meant to be all about 'attrition warfare' ... but 'attrition warfare' doesn't mean 'stupid warfare by stupid people'. Battle of Kapyong is an example of attrition warfare, it's just an example of *how to properly fight a battle of attrition* ... And it's not like these ideas of warfighting weren't apparent in the Great War. Great War generals weren't stupid. They understood things like staggered assaults.

Perturabo is also a master of siege but I have no idea if it was defensive or offensive.

Perfect way to end the day.I have been here since the very first lore videos and now i can safely say the way you narrate the vastness of 40k is second to none.You have improved tremendously. The soothing voice,the occasional jokes and irony,they re spot on most of the time and it befits warhammer so well.Even the overuse of a ''particular'' adverb... Anyway,kudos for an awesome video!

Comes home from late shift from hell. Opens KZbin. Sees that there is a new 50 minute Warhammer 40k video from Arch. Walks out of room, takes a hot shower, grabs a coffee and a beer, leans back into his gaming chair, feet on the desk. Rips off beermat with lighter, lights a cigarette and starts video. _"Grrreetings and salutations, friends and welcome back to the Siege of Vraks..."_ Has already almost completely forgotten about his ward full of patients who suffer from either severe diarrhea or delusions or preferably both. Begins to blissfully smile.

Question, for anyone who might know the answer: how effective are void shields at keeping out chemical weaponry? Judging from what little I know, it seems like it could be possible to attack a hive with its void shields still up by either shelling the shields themselves or the areas right at their edges with gas shells. The shields would keep the shells themselves out, but if my hunch is correct, the clouds of poison gas released on impact would still be able to ‘seep in’, as it were.

29:39 it is effective when you have no other way. The US military was planning a very similar method of working out Japanese defensive strength for the planned invasion of Japan in ‘45. First wave and second wave had the same objectives, but only the second wave had the specialists needed to achieve them. It’s brutal and heartless, but effective.

@@galendetta2334 Second drop was a kind of, “please don’t make us do this” from the members of the military that REALLY didn’t want to invade. And then MacArthur stepped in and ordered General Groves to start stockpiling nukes for the invasion. His plan involves dropping at least six but as many as nine atomic bombs during the invasion of Kyushu. Fun fact: a early’50s study (I forget the year) determined that 7 atom bombs of the Hiroshima type is all it would take to cause a nuclear autumn, where enough fallout would be in the atmosphere to prevent new crops from sprouting but wouldn’t be enough to cause irradiated snowfall. Just irradiated rain. For at least five years.

Arch, the technique of the infantry of the kriegsman carried out is called Reconnaissance by Fire. Its mainly used to gauge enemy reaction times and response. As anything with 40k that gets blown to unknown proportions, its carried out by a bunch of butterbars that never graduated infantry school instead of seasoned division commanders. Read up FM 3-21.3 or the Ranger Handbook for proper ways to conduct Recom by Fire.

I once created the Beryllian ghosts, a pretty cool imperial guard regiment for a round of "Only war" and i can't help but think how useful they would have been on Vraks. I mean, as a dedicated infiltration/sabotage regiment with a very independent mindset the death korps would've absolutly hated them, but of course as infiltration/sabotage units they'd have been deep in enemy territory far away from the death korps so friction would most likely have been relativly small. But the intel and disruption they could've provided would have been invaluable and potentialy could've saved a lot of time and ressources for the death korps.
